It has become a familiar sight in recent years. Cricketers on the outfield, warming up with a game of football prior to the start of play. However, while it has become a staple for many teams, there have been those who have spoken out against the pre-match kick about, notably Lancashire head coach Ashley Giles, who has pointed to the high risk of injury.That has been shown recently as Hampshire have been hit by the news that fast bowler Fidel Edwards has been ruled out for the rest of the season with an ankle injury sustained while playing football in the warm up ahead of a County Championship game. Former Durham and England bowler Steve Harmison was part of a number of sides for whom the game of football to warm up was almost sacrosanct, although they were not without incident.Yorkshire played a lot of football in warm ups in the brief time I was there, he told Sky Sports. Durham played football religiously, we had to play football in the morning.Depending on the coach and some of the players in the England group, football was going alright for a little bit and then Jimmy [Anderson] went and stood on the ball in New Zealand [in 2008] and did his ankle and got us a ban! Fidel Edwards is out for the season with an injury picked up playing football Despite the injuries sustained by Anderson and Edwards, and while Harmison understands the concerns expressed by the likes of Giles, he insists that there are plenty of positives too.Ashley Giles was very vocal, saying you shouldnt be playing. I think Ash has a point but I think during my time, it probably wasnt as professional as it is now, he said.There are a lot more people involved in the game now who want time with the players, i.e. psychologists, fitness men, nutritionists, analysts. So there is a lot more than goes into preparing for games other than lets play 10 minutes of football, hit a few, bowl a few and get on with the game. Ex-England international Steve Harmison (right) believes football gets the blood and juices flowing I think the game has changed and Ash has a point that maybe playing football isnt the best. But on the other hand, getting mobile, getting moved and running around, getting the blood and juices flowing - football was probably the best Ive seen at doing that.Football was also a good way of boosting the camaraderie among teams, according to the 2005 Ashes winner, and was especially useful during long days in the field.Going straight into fielding drills, youre asking for sloppiness, for me. [Football] got everyone going plus it got people talking about the game, Harmison added.For me, the football was quite good if you were fielding that day because if something happened, if somebody made a mistake, scored an own goal or if somebody scored a worldie it would be the topic of conversation throughout the six hours. Lancashire head coach Ashley Giles is against football as a warm up That got me through, everybody would be going back and referencing what happened in the morning.It got quite competitive at Durham because it was old ones against young ones. Obviously, because we were there for four days, sometimes five days because of when youd get there, especially on away games, we used to play for dinner.It would be old ones against young ones for five days, whoever wins pays for dinner on the next trip. The next team meal would be paid for by the losers of that game.The old ones had a lot of free meals, to be fair. There was a lot of enthusiasm from the young ones but when it comes to experience, you cant buy that. The young ones tended to argue a lot with each other whereas the old ones just got on with it. Rugby is another sport played in warm ups by cricketers Harmison also revealed that some cricket teams play rugby as a warm up while ahead of the start of one T20 tournament, the then Durham captain Dale Benkenstein took his side to the driving range to prepare. Often what it came down to was personal preference.There are different ways of doing things, for different people, but football is such an easy game to play and understand, he added. I love the game, I played it before I played cricket, hence why I went back into it but I can understand why some coaches are anti-football.It has its pros and its cons but Ash has a little bit of a point now youre losing star players. Some coaches like it, other coaches dont and I dont think theyll be playing football at Lancashire in the near future.

Western Sydney striker Kerem Bulut was removed from Saturdays A-League squad because hes one of a few players who need to deliver more during training, says coach Tony Popovic.Bulut and Uruguayan midfielder Bruno Pinatares were erased from the matchday line-up just hours before kick-off against Central Coast at Spotless Stadium.Despite suffering from no known fitness issues the 24-year-old, who started the Wanderers first three games, watched the 1-1 draw dressed in a suit from the Spotless Stadium stands.Popovic said the call was a footballing decision just as it was to take out Bruno and, earlier, Shannon Cole.We feel we want more in training, Popovic said.Theyre in the same bracket, whether its Kerem, Shannon, Bruno, other players who didnt make the squad, theres an expectation that we have.Theyre training every day and we want to see more from certain players.Kerem is just in that group.Popovic staunchly denied the surprising omission had anything to do with attitude.I dont think we should say attitude because we dont say attitude about Bruno or Shannon but immediately we say attitude about Kerem Bulut, he said.I dont know why its different.Super-sub Brendon Santalab vindicated Popovics decision to give him a start in place of Bulut, scoring the Wandererrs quickest A-League goal with 82 seconds gone.dddddddddddd.But a commanding start fell away for the home side, undone by frustratingly wasteful finishing and Robbie Cornthwaites costly defensive error that gifted the Mariners a second-half equaliser.It was the clubs second successive failure to convert a lead into victory and leaves last seasons grand finalists in fifth with five points from their first four games before travelling to Perth next weekend.Yet Popovic was encouraged results would come for his notoriously slow starters.Football can be cruel sometimes - you can play well and not get the result you want.We havent got the number of points we want but weve gone three games now without a defeat.The players will keep believing and it will turn ... and we will put someone away soon if we keep playing that way.Popovic also took a positive from the excellent starting debut of marquee playmaker Nicolas Martinez, who was hardworking and a picture of creativity during his hour-long appearance.He was tired in the second half but you expect that, Popovic said.But hell just get better and better ... its just the beginning for him.
