The pros all do a shitload of fielding training in lieu of having jobs, though.

So Scotland smashed Ireland by 180 runs last night our very very poo poo bowling attack somehow managed to bowl them out for 117

The Australian ones are allegedly being broadcast, but the New Zealand ones aren't. Cricvid will probably have the ones that they are broadcasting on, and I'd imagine that Sky will have them on in the UK. Although quite why they aren't able to broadcast these warmups when they were able to broadcast all of the warm up games for the World T20 (which were held during the first round of the competition!) I'll never know... Whoever designed the graphics package for this needs to be shot, or at least reminded that we are in 2015 and that widescreen is a thing

Haven't tried this from last page.

Watching the score updates for the NZ-SA Match assumed the pitch must be a belter. Thinking NZ probably needed another 20 or so runs. Check the score just now SA is 32/4 in reply.

Mine would be the one from around 1985-88, predominantly yellow and a Footscray-style green hoop around the middle. Or just when it was still mostly whites in 78-79 but with green and yellow stripes on the shoulders. edit: handy guide

Just got back from the NZ v SA match (left when it became apparent Duminy was just going to have an open net rather than attempt to chase). We loving thrashed them. The batsmen all looked pretty good, Taylor got out just before the powerplay which probably set us back by 30-40 in the end, but it didn't matter since Boult scythed through the top order. Steyn didn't bowl and Amla didn't bat but we thrashed them all the same.  SL losing to Zim.

Honestly don't know what to make of these warm-up games. Seems a bit much to draw too many conclusions from them IMO.

Super-overs are dumb but there isn't really a better solution other than playing the whole game again.

Didn't there used to be a thing where a bowler got 6 balls to hit the stumps the most. Or did I make that up.
