Warm ups for World Cup

[Antihippy]

Is nobody showing the australia v UAE match?

 

[Athlai]

That awkward moment when South Africa forgot to bring an extra batsman.

Whoops.

 

[Zinzan]

Is nobody showing the australia v UAE match?

Think it was scheduled, but according to Hendrix Kohli's taking longer to brush his teeth than anticipated.

 

[Zinzan]

So is this generally going to be a case of win the toss & bat in NZ conditions through the WC?

No doubt NZ have played their best cricket putting a total on the board in recent times.

 

[Greenlite]

Holy crap SA's plan is to give everyone a chance to bat

 

[BeeGee]

Jesus SA, how are our bowlers supposed to practice their death bowling if you're already dead before the death?

It's a warm up game, you don't have to chase the total to the last man, just get some time in the middle ffs.

 

[Antihippy]

Tell you what though, even as an australian fan I would really love to see vettori having a great world cup.

Why is parnell batting so high up though? Makes their batting line up look really weak.

2 spinners vs SA, and Mitch over Milne. Horses for courses or just warmup?

Just warm-up imo, unless it's an extremely slow wicket I can't see us playing both spinners against any opposition.

I suppose Anderson not having bowled yet is also a sign.

 

[Burgey]

Clarke opening for Australia against the hostile UAE attack.

 

[jonbrooks]

Doesn't matter if SA is all out for under 100. This is just a pointless warm up game. If Zim had beaten us I'd be thinking the same thing.

What matters is what happens between NZ and SL this Saturday. That's the main thing.

 

[jonbrooks]

Having said all of that Zim are putting on a real fight against SL. 140/2 with two set batsmen. Interesting to see what happens there.

It's a warm up. We've played 12 players so far.

 

[BeeGee]

Zim have had a strong showing in their warm ups.

 

[smash84]

so Eng vs Pak going on in Sydney.Not a bad start from the bowlers

 

[smash84]

just when i opened my mouth there goes all the pressure thanks to sohail khan

 

[Cabinet96]

SA love being average in warm ups/tour games.

 

[BeeGee]

What's happened to Aus v UAE? Seems to have got stuck.

 

[nevermind]
