After a couple of warm days of the ICC World Twenty20 warm-up matches, the final day was a dampner.

With Pakistan taking on India, it was expected to be the hottest day of the warm-ups, but it just blew cold.

The victorious teams - Netherlands, South Africa, England, and India - chased and won one-sided games with ease; by 7, 6, 9, and 9 wickets respectively.

Take Aways from Day 3 of the Warm-Ups:

1. Dirk Nannes bowls really well, but fails to pick up wickets. Same happened in the IPL; I wonder if its got something to do with luck.
   
   
2. Sri Lanka are staring at a first round exit with their thin and out of form batting.
   
   
3. Herchelle Gibbs is going to have a big tournament. Lots of runs!
   
   
4. Muralitharan is still being saved; poor guy will end up playing 2 games and going home.
   
   
5. West Indies aren't much without Gayle at the top; Sarwan needs to bat higher up.
   
   
6. England may have just unleashed a rare once-in-a-lifetime aggressive opening pair - when was the last time one of their openers hit 5 sixes in an innings?
   
   
7. The IPL did for Bopara what it did for Marsh and Watson.
   
   
8. Younis Khan still doesn't know what he's doing with his bowlers.
   
   
9. Mohammad Aamer is a talent - till now you had heard; now you have seen!
   
   
10. Pakistan need to open with Ahmed and Akmal and bring Fawad Alam into the side. I will not stop saying that.
    
    
11. Rohit Sharma may have just cost Sehwag his opening spot; or Gambhir?
    
    
12. Dhoni will bat at 3 throughout the 20-20 world cup.
    
    
13. Ishant Sharma is going to have one hell of a world cup.
    
    
14. Pakistan's fans, I don't think there's anything to worry about - we played our warm up matches against the best 2 sides in the tournament; and if all goes well, we won't meet them again before the semi finals.

On a closing note, I have a question:

Has anyone missed the cheerleaders and the music during the warm-up games?
