blandy Posted January 28 Moderator Share Posted January 28 27 minutes ago, Rodders said: but does make you think, what if they'd had a couple of warm up matches beforehand, get some of Hartleys nerves out of the way there, get some of our batters more middle time The thing is, basically every cricket lover would agree with you….2 years ago. But what England have done is juddered to the new reality, and got there first. With the 365 days a year, multi format nature of cricket now, the old conventional wisdom is now unconventional. Whatever the outcome of this game or series, the way they’ve done the prep is the new normal. Extended in-country prep and warm ups is out the door. There’s some downsides, as you suggest, but there are more upsides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah, my Dad called me to tell me to put it on after the 7th wicket, and I've just switched off before the latest one, so should get em out pretty quickly 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
