Warm-ups Thread

[GIMH]

I mean I get replicating tournament protocols but half an hour to decide a clearly clean catch in a warm-up seems excessive

If catches like that take that long to decipher, what are they going to do with a contentious one?

No surprise for Woakes to see us home there...

Not sure what Root's agenda was today but that won't carry us through the World Cup.

He has questions to answer.

It's just practice brother, they aren't official matches ,both teams used more than 11 players ..
The results are completely irrelevant, Root was just using the practice for time in the middle.

Form is temporary, etc.

Do teams get drs in warm ups? Literally all the lbws on both sides during the NZ vs sa game looked high or going down leg to me

 

[NZTailender]

Also Conway's one handed glance sweep thing was glorious

No DRS.

No DRS.

Didn't think so. None of them were obviously plumb to me

Also in the highlights, looked like Mitchell was getting some swing??

Where you watching this? Highlights on you tube?

NZC Instagram had a 5 minutes highlight package. Boundaries and wicket only.

Conway is looking in imperious form, Williamson on his way too.

 

[GIMH]

No DRS but a 27 minute check to see if a clean catch was clean

If the others want to come out swinging like that, then I think that is precisely the knock that is needed.

Bizarre that he was out there for 139 deliveries and only faced 40 of them.

India are under cooked going into this world cup like 2 games washout is terrible

 

[Burgey]

Hayden put on the spot there being asked how he rates Pakistan, knowing basically his entire income stream is from Indian media. Reckon he’s sweating harder on that answer than he ever did while playing in an actual WC

Gotta say Marnus looks in imperious form here. Can see him not just in the squad but making the XI at this rate

 

[Burgey]

Gotta say Marnus looks in imperious form here.

Thank me later

So when Head becomes available, who gets dropped?

If Marsh opening is working, he might just slot in for which ever of the middle order players is not making runs.

Maxwell burned Carey terribly there lol

Carey continues to impress
