Ali and Finn out. Precautionary though.

It's a 2 day game, so not first-class. Not sure if they are playing 11v11 or 13v13 though.

Hope they give Overton a go. Don't fancy Broad batting at 9 and there doesn't seem much to choose from between Overton, Ball and Finn as bowlers.

I like to think I'm a pragmatist... but I'd always play 9-11 primarily on their bowling (and not necessarily none of these being spinners).

The WA 11 hae used 11 bowlers, and most of them seem to have bowled a few overs.

really only 4 wickets, as Ballance and Malan both retired on getting their 50's.

wickets down isn't really important, was just posting current score the runs are more important..

Useful runs, though not particularly challenging. Vince dropped three times, Ballance once. Cricinfo says Stoneman and Malan looked decent.

Just a warm up, time in the middle is more important in a warm up game

I would have expected Coulter-Nile to have picked up more wickets. Maybe all those drops were off his bowling. :)

He dropped 2 of the 4 catches!

12 v 13 this game. But it could easily expand.

From the reports it seems that even though runs were made, they were hardly convincing runs - no pun intended.
