AFC Challenge Cup 2008 final knockout.

Aug 04

Wikipedia: The 2008 AFC Challenge Cup football tournament will be hosted by India from July 30 to August 10, 2008. Chinese Taipei was the designated host, but could not guarantee it would meet the AFC’s standards for hosting the tournament.

The winners of the 2008 and 2010 competitions will qualify for the Asian Cup 2011. This competition is exclusive to the lower ranking Asian nations. However, in the previous edition, Bangladesh and India were invited from the middle-ranking teams - Bangladesh actually hosting the tournament, and India sending their U-20 team. According to a source from Bangladesh, as well as the 16 lower-ranking teams (apparently not including Macao), India and Bangladesh have again been invited for the 2008 tournament from the middle tier of nations, along with North Korea and Laos.

The group stages are over and now it is time for the Semi-finals and Final. These will be aired Live on ESPN India. 

August 7th.
3:55 p.m. India vs Myanmar.
6:55 p.m. Korea vs Tajikhstan.

August 10th
3:55 p.m. Finals.  

 

SA Tour Of England 2008 Test 4

Aug 04

Smith was a doubt after missing both practice days because of a back problem suffered during the tour match against Bangladesh A at Worcester.

But the opener came through his fitness test, although doubts must remain about whether he is in prime physical condition.

Smith’s selection meant South Africa made only one change to their winning line-up from Headingley, with strike bowler Dale Steyn ruled out with a fractured left thumb and replaced by Andre Nel.

England had made two changes, with Darren Pattinson and Stuart Broad dropped out in place of Paul Collingwood and Ryan Sidebottom. Sidebottom passed a fitness test yesterday on his recent back problem and will take his bowling attack including James Anderson, Andrew Flintoff and Monty Panesar.

The Edgbaston pitch looks is not expected to help the bowlers, although it could take spin later in the match.

The 4th Test of South Africa’s tour of England will air Live on Star Cricket India at the following timings.

6th August
3:28 - 5:30 p.m. - Test 4 Day 1 First session.
6:00 - 11:00 p.m. - Test 4 Day 1 Second Session.  

The rest of the days will follow a similar timing with Day 5 aired on the 10th of August.
