Agree Shaker need 15 fit men in the squad.

Yes Ringo he needs to be playing now , what he has done in the past is the past he is looking like a top order batsmen that will fail or his body will fail not we need in a world cup

We will pass through group stages easy so he should be fine for when we need him.

But will he have any match form by then , there is no doubt about his past but I think his past won't help us when it's needed

They can play all 15 players. It's not an actual One Day International.

Cummins part of the 15 man squad but? Wouldn't he make 16.

PowerBug · February 08, 2015, 08:52:20 PM

I don't get what you mean? The whole 15 man squad is allowed to play this game, Cummins is in the 15.

I know it's only a warm up, but MS Dhoni is a flog :P

The_Captain · February 08, 2015, 09:15:16 PM

dw I confused myself ha. He was listed as 12th man and I didn't include him in the Doherty Clarke and Faulkner not listed. Makes sense now.

What doesn't make sense is how come Haddin didn't come in at 8 ha?

PowerBug · February 11, 2015, 02:51:10 PM

4 warm up matches going on at the moment

Australia 13/0 (3.0 ov)
vs UAE

Clarke and Finch opening the batting for Australia. Clarke already been dropped.

New Zealand 331/8 (50.0 ov)
South Africa 74/6 (17.2 ov)

South Africa copping a hiding. New Zealand with a team effort, all of the top 9 bats made double figures. Trent Boult has 3 wickets.

Sri Lanka 279/8 (50.0 ov)
Zimbabwe 125/2 (22.0 ov)

Masakadza and Taylor building a partnership here.

England 10/1 (3.5 ov)
vs Pakistan

Hales and Ali opened, Ali out early. Ballance in at 3 :D

Cricinfo and cricket.com.au has updates on all the matches, not very good though. ABC radio has the Australia match though. ICC website looks more updated, England appears to have named an XI, the other 7 countries all named all 15 players.

Should probably make my WC fantasy team.

Maybe

- Duminy (53*) and Philander (35*) still going for South Africa, winning is long gone though.
- Clarke (64) and Finch (61) both got out the same way. Clarke good stroke play, but still dodgy when running. Watson and Smith in now.
- Zimbabwe 240/3, plenty of time left, RRR is under 4. So they will beat Sri Lanka. Masakadza 99*
- England 95/2 in the 22nd. Root 9*, Ballance 45*. Adil and Afridi have the wickets.

1 more day of work before I fly over to Melbs for the Aus/Eng match :)

PowerBug · February 11, 2015, 04:28:36 PM

Ballance made 57. Hope that's enough for JB to see him score 100 on Saturday ;)

Edged one through gully when there was no gully on 0. Got dropped on 2 at short cover. Survived an LBW shout when still single figures because he's Clarke (Gerard Wheately's words). Against a better team he'd have been gone early. But after that, yeah the stroke making was good.

That does not inspire confidence maybe that's why he is not fronting up against the poms who do we play second ?

Bangladesh on the 21st. He is still a chance to play the first game, but they'd be silly to do it. The plan was to introduce him in the 2nd game, don't change that plan.
