Warming up to CWC15
Cricket world cup is apparently the 3rd largest sport in the world. I am not sure what is the 2nd, however Football (Soccer depending on where you live) is believe to be the number one sport. Anyway for the cricketing world this is it. Warmups started on Sunday, they have all finished now. Some of the minnows managed to surprise big players including 2011 runner-ups Sri Lanka, Pakistan and New Zealand. However Kiwis were quick to recover from 157/7 (rained mach with Zimbabwe) to winning big with South Africa (one of the tournament favorites). It is great to see that minnows working hard and playing their natural game without much pressure. How much can you read from the warm-up games, all I can say is that it is quite possible that test playing nations will not have a walk in the park. Minnows to watch - Bangladesh, Zimbabwe and potentially Scotland.
