Steyn is going to absolutely slaughter Hales/all of them, welp

There's every chance that'll happen.  But I'd still wager a bet that most of the England batsman would rather play away in SA than away in the UAE...

I know it's practice but surely you bat your actual intended order? Unless Broad is an absolute cannon all of a sudden.

Ah, it's Root.

Root swaps his bat after 11 runs scored.................

For a GM?

Showing off the various NB ranges

[ppccopener]

seems to be a lack of spinners in the  oppo for the warm up games

[rickjames]

Roooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooot

[liscon12]

Holding back the spinners so as not to give any practice against them, also will there be any highlights of this game on TV?

[smilley792]

A link to any kind of coverage would be nice. Radio? Pics? All I can find is Espns ball by ball thing.

[rickjames]

Don't see anything other than the occasional video on the TMS Twitter...

[smilley792]

How many more chances does bell get??


This may be there desired line up.

But for next game get cook and root out and put hales and Taylor in. Most impressive out of them 2 plus Ali and bell get this gig!!

Root doesn't need a warm up.

[smilley792]

Found some highlights.

On ecb Twitter for anyone looking.


Ali out hooking a Pakistan quick. Short ball issues in non dangerous short ball land.
Bell dropped and hen goes to spin. Looking uncomfortable.

It looks warm.

[rickjames]

Well, this is err, encouraging? Ah.

[ppccopener]

I presume there is a reason we are retiring players, I get annoyed on a Sunday when this happens let alone an England game...
