Quite possibly the best innings ever by an Ireland qualified player for Warwickshire.
However it is ridculous that a British Citizen is forced to play as an overseas player.

Paul Stirling hit 119 off only 51 balls including 34 off one over! Now that's serious power hitting. Hain also did well in their partnership. Surely we can reach finals day this year?

Great chance you'd think. We were good last year in my opinion, just ran into an extremely strong Kent side in the quarters.

Farbrace has made it abundantly clear this is the comp he wants won this year. Anything less than Finals Day should be considered a failure.

Best innings by an Ireland qualified player for Warwickshire on a Thursday in May

I definitely think a home quarter final would be a big help this year. With the obvious that you play a 'weaker' team but we also seem to have been pretty strong at home in this comp last few years - I think our batters play the wicket/ground better generally than oppo? Had some big scores last few seasons, which were a rarity before that.
