Heath for better warm-up

washed out completely, said he understood why counties were keen to rest key players.
Zimbabwe captain Heath Streak has said he wished his side had faced better teams ahead of next week's opening Test against England at Lord's on Thursday.
In last week's tied match against Worcestershire both former Zimbabwe turned England batsman Graeme Hick and South Africa fast bowler Nantie Hayward were missing.
And in their current match, against Sussex, the home team have left out Pakistan leg-spinner Mushtaq Ahmed, England one-day international paceman James Kirtley, former England batsman and club captain Chris Adams as well as improving all-rounder Robin Martin-Jenkins.

because of the counties' selection policies, added: "Obviously, yes we would like to play against stronger county sides; around the world you see state sides or provincial sides putting out their strongest possible team.
"They try not to let the touring side dominate, making sure they have a tough time in their warm-up games.
"We would have liked to have played a stronger Sussex side but they have also got injury concerns."
During the past 20 years it has become commonplace for English counties, keen to protect their stars for more lucrative domestic competitions, to field under-strength teams.
English cricket chiefs tried to remedy the problem by bringing in sponsorship money for tourist games but that was withdrawn ahead of this season.

Streak suggested that in future it might be more beneficial all-round if tour matches in England pitted the visiting side against Test hopefuls.
"I don't think it's a conspiracy thing, it is up to each and every county to select their team maybe if they (authorities) had looked at giving an incentive or combining counties it would be better," he said.
"There is not much that the counties are playing for in these tourist matches, in terms of benefit to themselves.
"Maybe there is a need to put guys forward who have some chance of making the England team or put up some financial reward for performances and winning teams. Perhaps then they would be more inclined to play their full-strength sides."
