Warm-up?
New Zealand just lost a practice match to Sri Lanka on a wicket Chris Harris described as "having something for every bowler". The Lankans struggled to 171/9 and then bundled us out for 159 - Hamish Marshall top scoring with 33. It doesn't sound like the ideal warm-up to be honest, but then this could be just the sort of end-of-season wicket most of the trophy games will be played on. And the two earlier warm-up matches against county sides were both reasonably high-scoring affairs, so perhaps we will be all ready for that all important game against the USA (snigger).

Don't forget - the USA just beat Zimbabwe, batting second geting 270 in 48 overs. Although that sort of score won't be scaring our batsmen! If he wants it, now's the time for Cairns to go for a record century!
