Isn't funny that the counties could field strong sides for the Ashes warm up in the 2015 but can't do it for other teams.
what do people usually say that the ECB have no role in the teams picked for the warm ups but ECB made an agreement CA for Strong teams for warm ups and suddenly bam Kent, Essex and Northampton picked a very strong team for the warm up games.
Australia hardly got a team full of 2nd 11 or players with no first class experience in 2015.
Before anyone mentions the poor teams in 2012 for india they really need to check the teams put out by india.
even the claim of no specialist spinner is wrong with Mishra playing one of the games lol.

BCCI even loaned players from other states to give England a stronger team, although the bowling line up was a bit weak.
Harayna team was strong though and actually faced 2 proper spinners in Amit Mishra and jayant yadav.
http://www.espncricinfo.com/india-v-eng ... 65803.htmlbut of course everyone still think england faced no spinners.
out of all the teams think Mumbai had the weaker team and if i remember correctly they had 2 games at the same time ranji trophy was going on at the same time.
