Maybe cricket is just 10-15 years behind the times. I remember 15 years ago when I started hockey, warm-ups were looked upon with suspicion by older players but as a junior we were coached to do them and it was weird not to warm up, train, have team talks before and after games etc. As high level teams didn't have many older players there was no-one objecting to more modern methods.

Maybe because you can play cricket into your 60s at the same level as someone who is 14 means it is harder to evolve as a team quickly. Hard to get teams to 'professionalise' (I really hate that term) unless everyone buys into it.
