Warm Up Games

[harsh.ag]

Sri Lanka just played Scotland. While it's listed on Cricinfo under Sri Lanka's tour of England, that doesn't make much sense. They do, however, have two more ODIs coming up, one each against Australia and New Zealand.

Scotland were victorious chasing 288 with centuries from both openers, Matthew Cross and Kyle Coetzer. They chased the target down in 42.5 overs. Fantastic stuff from the Scots!

Wow, chased in 43 overs. That was a good beating

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wow just wow. I know it's a warm up game but that' still brilliant from Scotland

Sri Lanka....how you have fallen.

 

[weldone]

Will these be considered List A games?

 

[YorksLanka]

not considered as a full international game apparently ( thankfully ). Also pleased to say it was back to normal in the second game with us winning by nine wickets..quite interesting though that Mathews sat out the second game and Tharanga skippered and we had such a turnaround..

 

[Black_Warrior]

Wonder if this will go down the Faf-AB path

[Firebreaker]

Only the Indian matches which is quite pathetic I wanted to see Australia vs Pak

 

[Burner]

Quite exciting now that Bangladesh are also competing.

 

[Firebreaker]

Actually you could watch tomorrow's game as well

 

[Firebreaker]

SL scored 318 against Aussie in the first warm up game

 

[NUFAN]

Pattinson going the journey in a warmup game increases Australia's chances in the tournament I'd say.

why is he even in the squad?

 

[Pratters]

Three wickets for Henriques. Has quite a good economy rate in ODIs and List A of 5.

 

[Black_Warrior]

A taste of the pitches to come

 

[Firebreaker]

Really poor pitches to be honest.Bothing for bowlers in it

 

[Firebreaker]

Australia won a close match shame that we couldn't see this game but Ind vs Bangladesh

 

[Burgey]

Walk in the park. No TPC, no Starc.

why is he even in the squad?

That's difficult to say as I don't especially hate him being in the Australian setup. I guess the selectors view him as a wicket-taker and while they know he can be expensive, they will take his good days with the bad. Realistically though he just bowls too many loose deliveries in his search for wickets, that I can't see him going for under 60 from his 10 unless we are dominating. Starc will come in for him when the Tournament starts proper.

Three wickets for Henriques. Has quite a good economy rate in ODIs and List A of 5.

I was surprised seeing Henriques take 3 wickets, See his IPL numbers?

Wickets: 1 | Ave: 248.00 | SR: 144.0 | RPO 10.33
