Australia T20 captain, Cameron White, is undisturbed by his team's rambling preparation for their two matches with South Africa later this month.
With some members of his squad concerned in the Nokia Champions League T20 tournament in India, the entire team will be jointly for just four days before the first match with the Proteas gets under way in Cape Town on October 13.
While yielding the training is far from perfect, White believe the fact that some of his men have been challenging in the heat of the Champions League cauldron will be helpful when the tour kicks off.
"It's almost certainly not ideal, but at the same time those guys that have come in from all parts of the world have in fact been playing some cricket," White said.
"We're coming off a winter back in Australia; some of the other guys that have come from home haven't played much.
"Though you'd like to be together for longer in the lead-up, at least some of the guys have had some Twenty20 cricket and I think that's better training than just nets."
White is expectant a stern test from South Africa in the T20s, in spite of the home side being without some of their biggest names.
"Not only their Twenty20 side, but also their Test match and one-day side - they're a great team and have been for a long time now," had he said.
"I well-known the Proteas are inactive a couple of players and clearly AB de Villiers will be missed, he's an unbelievable player, so there's no doubt that they're a great side and they'll be very tough to beat."
White has faith that his own squad will be up to the job, and is expecting big things from David Warner, who has been at his swaggering best in India.
"Noticeably the standout's almost certainly David Warner," White said. "He's had some good success next to the Proteas before, one memorable game at the MCG a couple of years ago. He's one of many dangerous batsmen that we have."
