One of the accusations levelled at a lot of touring teams is that the warm up matches are never hard enough these days. Never mind the quality of the opposition, I find the rules in place for some of these games strange too. England had 13 batsmen, and it was pre agreed that England would bat all day regardless of how many wickets they lost. As it turned out it was a shortened day anyway due to the weather, but to me you are introducing a mindset that it doesn't matter if I get put out, I can maybe get another shot later.
