Warm Up Games

I think the ODI that SL is playing against Scotland might be termed as a "warmup"

 

[Starfighter]

Can we like... not play England?

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Darren Bravo is regressing

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Why is Cricinfo not covering the warmup games?

Windies playing Australia today.

Half of the match already through...

 

[SillyCowCorner1]

Ohhh, it's 'unofficial'

 

[trundler]

He's an ODI dinosaur.

Update:

Russell has sent Usman Khawaja to the hospital. Struck him in the jaw.

That was a wicked rise of the ball

 

[trundler]

Behrendorff shouldn't get a single game.

 

[Burgey]

Yep. He’s ****ing woeful. Club standard bowler.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

Better than Sean Abbott, well at least until he learns to put that godawful slower ball bouncer away

I can't believe the selectors decided to not pick Hazlewood. Honestly you don't like seeing players get injured but you almost wish for Behrendorff or Richardson to be ruled out so we can slot Hazlewood back in.

 

[GoodAreasShane]

I don't think there is any real doubt that Haze is a better ODI bowler than pretty much all the alternatives. But as we saw with Renshaw in the UAE Langer is very reticent to play anyone without recent cricket under their belt.

 

[Burgey]

Better than Sean Abbott, well at least until he learns to put that godawful slower ball bouncer away

He actually isn't.

 

[trundler]

NCN is mediocrity personified. Behrendorff and Kane will probably go at 8.5+. Maxwell and Stoinis is a terribad fifth bowling option too. Will be interesting how they manage death bowling. Australia need at least 30 overs of solid pace.

 

[Fuller Pilch]

Pleased to see that NZ's warm up vs India on Saturday is being televised live.

Looking forward to seeing how Tom Blundell goes

 

[TheJediBrah]

Aus will rely heavily on Cummo and Starc picking up bulk wickets throughout the innings

 

[GoodAreasShane]

He actually isn't.

I can't agree. Can't rate anyone who overuses the slow short ball, same reason I think Liam Plunkett is crap.

 

[CricAddict]

Are the scheduled warm-ups official ODIs? Or just practice games like 14 vs 14?
