Warmups

[Swervy]

No games involving more or less than 11 players per side have ever been given First-Class or List-A-one-day status.

are international one dayers classed in with List A games?

With the exception, obviously, of legalised substitutions as defined under National Board and I$C$C regulations.

There's a difference between that and the continuous chopping-and-changing involved in 15-a-side and the like games.

No cricinfo coverage of England today. Thought that would make the afternoon at work more enjoyable tbh.

Is it on Sky tonight? Might make the missus endure it seems as she got more sleep than me last night!!

Yeah, it's on Sky, thankfully. Can't wait to watch Dwayne Leverock in action.

Wish it was on here for precisely that reason.

I usually quite like watching the minnows play anyway.

Me too, plus I'm anxious to see how much of a part Vaughan, Lewis, Anderson and Pietersen play, and how they look.

 

[Craig]

Didn't think Fox Sports were showing them, but I will check (not that it would make much difference for me though).

 

[vic_orthdox]

Heard somewhere they were showing the Australian ones.

 

[Richard]

I always have to at TV companies showing warm-up games!

 

[GIMH]

TBF, you can usually catch a glut of pre-season friendlies on TV prior to the football season, so this isn't really any different. Plus I'd rather watch a warm-up Cricket match than Grand Designs or any other programme favoured by the missus!

Why? A casual cricket match between Australia and Zimbabwe is still going to get more viewers than lawn bowls, which is incidentally what Fox Sports is showing in the early hours of Wednesday morning instead of the first Australian warmup.

"World Cup, Women's Final - See the world's top Lawn Bowlers in action in the 2006 Lawn Bowls Super Series."

Ffs, would have liked to see some cricket tonight.

BBB commentray on cricbuzz of all warm-ups apparently

 

[pasag]

England 13: Michael Vaughan, Ed Joyce, Ian Bell, Paul Collingwood, Andrew Flintoff, Kevin Pietersen, Paul Nixon, Liam Plunkett, Sajid Mahmood, Jon Lewis, James Anderson, Monty Panesar, Jamie Dalrymple.

No Strauss or Bopara.

 

[GIMH]

Joyce gone

 

[Steulen]

Joyce bowled for 8. An England collapse against Bermuda...that would be something. And normally Vaughan should go soon too.

 

[FaaipDeOiad]

Any radio coverage or anything?

 

[Corli]

And normally Vaughan should go soon too.

He's gone...

Has the other warm-ups started yet? I can only find live coverage for the England-Bermuda game.

 

[Evermind]

I can't believe England are actually still playing Vaughan.

 

[Slow Love™]

Hmm... South Africa 39/2 after 9 against Ireland.

I wouldn't bother with cricbuzz, atypically, they're behind cricinfo and not refreshing the info as often either. Cricinfo appear to be doing scoreboards of all three games.
