Figured these games deserved a thread, as the first one starts tonight between England and Bermuda. Don't think many of them are being shown on TV here though, just Australia and England on the 10th.

Got a feeling England might win tonight.

Would expect some of the Bermudan players to go missing in action....











Coat please!

Not convinced of the benefit to ourselves of playing Bermuda, in all honesty. I don't think any team should need practice in playing minnows. & why Oz again?! It's not like we haven't just played them six times...

Yeah, got the time mixed up.

Anyway, apparently they are 13-a-side games, which is quite funny for Australia, given they only have 12 fit and available players.

Whats the rules say regarding baned players. I am talking about someone like Afridi who is banned for 4 ODIs. Can he play A status practice games?

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

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.

These games are not List-A-OD games.
