Come on you Bears. Yates and Shaikh available.
Surprised that Crane hasn't been added to the Glamorgan squad. Good news that Yates and Hamza are in for the Bears. Big day ahead.
We will chase again and our 2 absentees from the Worcestershire game are back. Come on lads get us to a final, we haven't had one since Surrey at Lord's.

Trouble with the Lord's final coming so late in Sept. will it be another case of win the toss, win the match?
Remember though, that final v Surrey, they chose to bat as the pitch looked awful as both captains pointed out and Bell would have done the same but as it worked out, Bell lost the toss as he did all season and Surrey went from 99-2 (25) to 136 all out. As it's not played at Lord's, the early morning movement might not be so bad. Good so far, Barnard has the wickets but OHD is getting loads of late swing.
Wow, 3 down, looked a bit 50/50 that last one but when the replay was slowed down, it looked a very good shout.
I just assumed it would be at Lord's - teach me to read first!!
OHD is having so much bad luck - should have a bag full with the movement he is getting. That LBW looked high to me until, as you say, they slowed it down and it was a good call.
I hope if Barnard has bowled a good tidy spell, he doesn't take himself off. New bowlers can often get carted as the pressure is off to a certain extent, if you are tidy, carry on and finish your spell.
Whatever the outcome of the game 4 for 34 from his 10 overs (on the bounce) is a fantastic effort from Barnard. Shame Yates dropped Ingram to deny him his 5fer.

He obliged!
At last, professional cricketers listening to me when I suggest something. I have been watching Warwickshire for decades and shouting all sorts of things and now after all these years they must realise that I am here to help.
Dreadful in house commentary again though. Don't the counties that do this realise what an amateurish and one-eyed image they project when they do this.
Agree, didn't we have our own stream today. Need to get this partnership broken or we could be looking at 250+ which won't be easy, chasing often seems to be a problem on Welsh pitches.
Well, I did it again didn't I. Where do I go from here, "I need to win the lottery next week, it just has to happen".
The way for your predictions to succeed is to pre-announce. We await your 6 numbers.................
In 50 over games I look at a decent score is double the score at 30 overs. On that basis anything below 235 will be in Warks favour.
Well that was a pretty terrible finish.
This is very poor bowling, Douthwaite seems to like anything he can swing at and so we are bowling it just where he wants it, you get the feeling that straight and full might give him more problems. We might have blown it here because 80 from the last 10 overs should never have been on with just the tail in, poor bowling in my opinion as opposed to good batting.
