No, warm up matches are for warming up. "Who decided that a warm up match is meant to be tough"?

England can say that they want to play against strong opposition, but
how strong it actually turns out to be will depend on who is selected by
the opposing board (in this case - sometimes it will the opposing state
or province). England have no way of enforcing their wishes.

England have a good deal of financial clout and most countries struggle to meet their bills. RH

Raptors know a bit about preparing for the big day.
They will be too heavy to do much flying after they have fed. At the
same time they have to be ready to hunt when they are hungry again
otherwise they will die.
The smart birds know this and they begin to train again at their
'flying weight' and when they hit their peak fitness and 'hunting
weight' and speed they are ready to go out searching for their next
feed.

Remember who began the practice of 'resting' their first choice players
against a touring side?

I do. Fifty years or so ago, a county's match against the tourists was a
highlight of their season, and they would put out their strongest XI.
But as time went on they increasingly came to rest their best players to
try to help ensure success in the Championship and - especially - the
limited over competitions.

Not you then.
Warm up - A period or act of preparation for a match, performance, or exercise session, involving gentle exercise or practice.

There are 5 players in the team with Test experience, and one more who
has played ODIs and T20Is. Nearly all of the others have played for West
Indies U-19s and/or West Indies A. It's less of an XI of nobodies than
the County Select XI that appeared against India last year.

in that case they did ok, all the batters except stokes did a bit, but robinson had
to go off with a back problem again, must be doubtful if they risk him for a 5 day
test in antigua and wood feels unwell although he managed 9 overs. seeing
that root and lawrence took 3 wickets, it really makes me wish we had an
offie to go with leach. everybody seems to think its pace pace pace in the
windies but i think spin is windies achilles heel.

In the West Indies in the last 3 years, visiting spinners have taken 23
wickets @ 34.04, compared to 120 @ 18.48 for pace bowlers. In the 3
Tests in Antigua in that time, the figures are 7 @ 68.00 for spin and 41
@ 22.82 for pace.

thats well done but i was just looking at englands last 2 tests at Antigua,
where Moeen took 3-62, in the match we lost, and the previous 1, Tredwell
took 4-47 and with Root our offspinners took 7 in the match, although
they were unable to run through the tail on the last day thanks to holders 1st [?]
100.
