Warm up time for Batsmen - HUGE inefficiency that needs to be addressed.

[surajmal]

This needs a huge correction. Batsmen sitting in the pavillion idly prior to their turn to bat. And once they get on the pitch, it takes them a few balls to find their bearings. Amateurish this. They all should be warming up in the nets/practice pitch before coming in.

How long  will you keep warming up a batsmen if there is 200 run partnership. The batsman who warms that long will never be ready. Cricket is a sports especially in test cricket where batsmen have to come out cold after a wicket fall.

Obviously this is about ODIs and t20s.

They do warm ups in t20s but odis also if there is a big partnership you cannot keep warming up.

There are ways to stay loose and focussed. Anything but sitting in the chair.

They cannot keep standing for long . Counterproductive. Need to be relaxed before their turn to bat. Getting warmed up takes just a few minutes of funny exercises.
