Sounds like this guy is trying to do you a favour? I see you have two options:
1) Get in first
2) When they ask her our for you, say they were wrong and you aren't interested.

Why haven't you asked her out before? And, ARE you interested in her?

To be honest if his mind is made up that he's going to do it, then he's going to do it, you can't really stop him. But with regards to you asking out this girl first, why do you say "it ain't gonna happen"? Are you not interested in her or are you just too shy to ask her out? If you do fancy her then I agree with andy_c that your mate is doing you a favour so let him do it if you are too shy to do it yourself (although doing it yourself is better). If you don't fancy her then just tell her your mate is winding you up, which would be the truth.

Its just the time is never right to 'step in' and ask her. Plus neither my mate nor his girl know her at all, so its gonna be very embarrassing for everybody. l don't think he wants to do it to please, just to annoy. Altho l may be wrong.`
why not just grow a pair and do it.
Your mates doing you a favour get with it
just poison his food or something. these things really aren't that complicated.
zzz just do it yourself

I don't agree at all. It's *his* decision when he asks someone out, and if he's not ready to, then that's fine. If his mate does, and he's not ready to confirm or deny it, it gets messy. Plus having someone who doesn't know her do it, or indeed anyone but yourself, just makes it seem a bit silly and unlikely for her to take it seriously.

Tell your mate to stop being a **** and that you'll ask her in your own time. Even tell him if he doesn't you'll ask someone out for him, which is a lot more worrying for someone with a gf.
