Would be even better if County Cricket was televised on terrestrial tv. With a couple of free family entry days thrown in over Bank Holidays or Kids Holidays (obviously a reduction in membership costs to reflect this).

I think it's Danny Mayer and Bob Wyatt who still hold the record against Surrey.

I well remember the 40 over matches on a Sunday, especially in the 'golden years' of 1994 & 1995. In that amazing season of '94 you'd regularly get 10 to 12,000 at Edgbaston - mainly to watch Brian Lara! I can recall going to away matches at Grace Road, Trent Bridge and Bristol to watch the Bears. Happy days....

UrsaMinor - The cc games were played Thursday Friday Saturday Monday with the 40 over game on Sunday. If it was only 3 days then it started on a Friday. We are talking about 1990s - memory fades

All matches from 1993 onwards were four days long, if that helps! Between 1988 and 1992 there was a mix of three day and four day matches.

A mix of three and four day games might be what we end up with again if the counties and Strauss/ECB and the players cannot agree to a sensible schedule for 2023 with all 4 day matches. There obviously needs to be more championship cricket in July and August than has been scheduled last couple of years and one way of fitting in a couple more rounds there whilst preserving all this free time the players now have to play golf/watch their favourite Premier League team, is to have a few rounds of 3 day matches. It would be seen as a backward step by many and they'd be right and it woud probably only last 1 season before they got rid of those rounds altogether and went back to just having CC games in April, May and September but only 10 of them instead of the 14 we are fortunate to still have. Can CC cricket survive in those months competing with football season? Either the Hundred has to go or CC will die basically

Was informed earlier today that Notts, Lancs and Essex are the reciprocal counties for Warwicks members to gain entry for CC matches. Of course not if/when Warks are playing there. Derbyshire apparently not this year so will seek confirmation on that.

Updated - only Notts and Lancs but both represent great news for Warks members

https://edgbaston.com/warwickshire-ccc/member-info/#benefits also suggests Essex

That's useful information - thanks.

Regarding the 10th wicket record stand against Surrey, just to confirm it was Bob Wyatt and Danny Mayer who added 126 together in 1927 at the Oval; but the circumstances were a bit different. Warwickshire were 355-9 when they came together; and number 11 Mayer was the dominant scorer, making 74 of the 126.
It must have been a pretty good pitch because, although Surrey were bowled out for 153 in their first innings, they knocked up a huge 427-3 in their second innings. Match drawn.
What really amazed me is that there were 408 overs bowled in the match, which was, of course a three day game. So there were more overs in three days than we now get in four. And it wasn't because there was more spin bowling. Of the 154 overs bowled in the match by Warwickshire, only 37 were spin.
As they say in the Hollies Stand, autres temps, autres mœurs
