India vs Netherlands - warm up - Thiruvananthapuram

[Austin 3:!6]

Match delayed by Rain

[Austin 3:!6]

If this game is washed out, India goes to the first game without any warm up games.

 

Can be a blessing in disguise as our players will get much needed break?

Need a shortened game at least so players get into Tournament groove.

Now you know why BCCI organised Ind v Aus series

I think it's a blessing in disguise, good rest for the team, Thiruvananthapuram was boiling yesterday.

From Cricinfo:

 

4:06pm News coming in is that the match has been abandoned. The rain has gotten heavier again. Rather sad that quite a few people came in, and just 20-25 minutes ago, the covers were off and it looked like there would be a game.

Abandoned then...thank you Jay Shah

Sirf hamara games wash out ho raha hai

[Austin 3:!6]

So India is the only team that has not got to play a single ball in warm ups. Not sure if its good or bad news.

[Frustrated]

Ind hv already played 3 warm up games against the world's best side 'Aus' last week.  Dont think they really needed more of these.

Defo not good news cos we have a lot to test before finalizing our XI.

 

A loss against Aus will result in many knee jerk reactions and changes.

 

We needed that game against Eng.

[sensible-indian]

Aus series was great in giving us clarity abiut the squad.

 

Now we need clarity about our XI.

[nitinbwj]

Game time always matters. All the teams have had some sort of match going into the WC. Ind played their last match on 27th Sep.

Maxwell,Warner,Inglis,Starc all have hit form.

[nitinbwj]

Why haven't they played Stoinis ? Injured ?

[Mariyam]

Oh no.

We missed out on some much needed practice against the cricketing super power that is the Netherlands.

 

What will we do now?

Most of our squad has been playing as a team for a decade. How much more 'clarity' do we need now.

 

Just hope everyone remains fit till the end of the WC.
