You flatter me, Maranello. I am sure I am occasionally wrong - just give me a while to think when.
Your point on having ODIs immediately before an ODI championship is well taken. What I meant was that I don't much like these rugby teams taking to the cricket field (especially rugby league, as in this case!). But I can see why coaches, captains and players would like it, namely to get as many people exposed to a competitive environment in an unfamiliar location as possible. And it's a well embedded habit these days, so I shall have to get used to it on the one hand and ignore it on the other. (That said, I didn't even pick up on the 13-a-side thing until Richard Jenkins mentioned it earlier in the "Warm Up Games" thread.)
