Do you think that the sides will play their first 11 for the warm ups or will they rest some players?

Zinzan · 11-02-2011, 08:50 PM

Anyone aware whether any TV network is covering the warm-up games?

It's weird. The Windies match is 12 a side while the Sri Lanka match is 14 a side with only Murali absent.

I can confirm that Foxtel are covering the Australia v India game tomorrow night!!!

I like what Cricinfo has done with the player profiles. It is nice to see a players World Cup statistics without playing with the filter tabs.

Warm-up games have rarely been an indication of how teams are performing. Most teams have only arrived in the SC in the last day or two so will take some time to settle.

The current game between Sri Lanka and Netherlands might be carnage, but judging by the stacked team for Sri Lanka I think they are just looking for time in the middle

The West Indies team haven't exactly started well against Kenya.

alvarez · 11-02-2011, 10:21 PM

Cricinfo scorecards reckon Alex Obanda is bowling. Im assuming its actually Elijah Otieno.

Migara · 11-02-2011, 10:23 PM

Tharanga 46(52) against NED. Pathtic to say the least. I'd take 35(25) over that.

alvarez · 11-02-2011, 11:24 PM

Bravo and Sarwan doing good for the Windies.

Mike5181 · 11-02-2011, 11:30 PM

I'm guessing these games don't go towards player records of any sort do they.

vcs · 11-02-2011, 11:36 PM

RtD is the most expensive Dutch bowler.. isn't he rated quite highly here?

Not an ODI, so no.

I'm lazy and my memory isn't working, anyone got a good idea of India's lineup for tomorrow?
