Warm-ups Thread

[Silver Silva]

So on a serious note, all this rain isn't a sign of things to come as it? Appreciate that India is vast so will have multiple climates

Maybe it's a good thing that it's happening now and not WC proper

 

[GIMH]

I think @honestbharani said at the weekend that the warm up venues were in a rainier part of India?

Yeah, I think it's the part between Pakistan, Bangladesh and Sri Lanka.

Also, NZ about to bat against SA, but that one not televised I don't think (not in UK anyway).

It's showing live now on Sky Sports Mix.

Smithy currently on comms still raving about that boundary countback.

Cheers, in the absence of any England action, I'll switch to that.

I wonder if this might have an impact on Thursday? NZ get 2 full warm ups, Eng get 30 overs.

I have both games on ESPN...reallly a better alternative than Willow TV

Probably not, but if we lose, then there was.

One could say England are better rested.

Pitch inspection at 18:30 in England game (2pm UK time).

Covers just coming off now

Yeah NZ have had the best warm up prep out of all the teams.

 

[Molehill]

Back out in the Eng/Bang game, now 37 overs per side. I'll be interested to see if they bother with D/L in what is essentially a 15 man game.

 

[GIMH]

We've bowled pretty well since the restart. Give us the damn trophy

That yorker wicket from Topley was superb.

 

[AndyZaltzHair]

That was good one from Hasan Mahmud. Brook completely misread it

 

[Aidan11]

I prefer Buttler to bat a bit higher than 5.

 

[wpdavid]

I think Root's batting on a different wicket to the other guys.




Mind you, at least he's still there.

 

[Aidan11]

Thanks for coming Jos.

 

[Molehill]

Have they set themselves a target of getting them inside 20 overs? Seems like they're all on a mission.

Root aside, England batsmen don't seem interested in using their 30 overs! Chase the total in 15 or get out trying...
