Warm Up Games

Interestingly, 359 is the exact score that Australia made in 2003 when they pounded India into World Cup loser dust.

421 AO is more like a stupid compromise between the people who believe that regular scores over 400 are good for the sport and the people who believe that the West Indies are awful and still should be paying penance for Holding kicking over the stumps back when they weren't a steaming pile of horse excrement at test level. Both groups of people are asinine idiots who need medication. And I'm not talking about the "medication" Andre Russell is on.

New Zealand need to realise that a warm up game is meant to get their players into form and not their opposition.

At least Bangladesh understand their place in the world - to be India's stat padding whipping boys. Pity they didn't get the memo that this is a warm up game where the stats don't count or perhaps they'd have actually bothered fielding a team rather than 11 pool noodles.

10 overs for 33 at the start of the innings kinda suggests we're not exactly trying to chase this down.

Why should you try to chase it down? It is just a warm up game; the idea is to get some practice, for the batsmen now..

Ah! King Kane is warming up quite nicely. The king is greater than the brat, the choker and the cheat.

Batting looks like it's getting tuned up. Pacers were so much better with the new ball also.

Shame about the middle over bowling. At some stage it's going to kill us. It feels like we're a world class spinner away from being one of the favourites :(.

Narine would have fit into this team quite nicely wouldn’t he?

Are you sure you’re not getting a little carried away here? West Indies haven’t won a series in literally years and only just scraped into the Tournament.
