Davo :(

That looked a poor decision on Mousley.

Yes, at times Russell would stand almost side by side with the batter and have the fielder throw the ball in, I remember a batter getting hit on one occasion in a televised game.

Still very good isn't he, Olly Stone...

Wondering if Notts cut their nose of to spite their face there.

They could easily have got 25 runs.

As for Alleyne I remember him and Russell cheating against us at Lord’s. I was so angry I wrote to the ECB Head of OPs and had a reasonable letter back!

Remind me about that one.

The games was decided D/L with Warwickshire so on top Donald got man of the match despite being in the losing team.

Presentation was made in bright sunshine when they could have easily kept playing. There was some archaic regulation that it had to be finished by a certain time (mainly so away teams could travel back earlier in the competition)

It was the quickest I have ever seen Donald bowl. His best ever spell for us and he was really fired up and gesticulating to our supporters.

During the rain delay alleyne and Russell desperately trying to get I abandoned with then ahead on D/L

Remember it, game went into the reserve day, Donald came on first change and had figures of 6-2-7-2, id never seen him quite so pumped up and he was always pumped up when playing for us.

I kinda feel as though it's could have got the extra 25 without losing another wicket, Sheat looked handy and Stone is an ok bat, and then still got amongst us. We've nothing to gain here from a Warwickshire perspective other than trying to not get out!

I assume Notts thinks there is time enough for them to get a few bowling points. Possibility a chance staying dry until late afternoon.

I understand that, just looking at it from our perspective.

Its hooping and seaming, Notts will fancy 6 wickets here youd think.

Nothing to gain here. Is the weather gonna hold long enough for us to get enough runs to get batting points?

That man Clarke!
Even if he was a really nice guy (which he isn't), I'd resent all the runs he's scored against the Bears.

Credit where its due, one of the best tons we've seen in ages that is.

I can't believe they've managed to get virtually 2 full days play in down at Hove.

Is back as batting coach after 5 years at Surrey.

Ok so Alex Davies looked to be receiving treatment at the end of the 23rd over, didnt notice anything clear, he appeared to have a back issue though...Kai Smith is going through some light warm ups on the outfield here. Maybe something to keep an eye on.

These hernia like symptoms that need managing must be quite significant. Shame, he looked in great rhythm v Sussex and has a decent record v Notts.

Feel like Woakes would have been great in these conditions.

Won the toss, bowling. Thompson for Woakes, Hain for Zen.

Hain for Zen, Young up to opener?

Is the weather liable to ruin a potential blockbuster contest this weekend?

Interesting that in Dobells’ report of the match he comments on the number of extras and says ‘such statistics explain why Warwickshire are in the market for a new keeper’

Yes, we all knew on here we were in for a new keeper, the cats out the bag now though. It is a real problem for us, the keeper situation. Yesterday was the first time where I thought should we actually just give Kai the gloves and accept the drop off in keeping because he'll give more runs than Davies? Or should we keep the better keeper in and hope Davies can somehow cobble the odd innings together until we try and addrsssthis properly during the off season?

I've seen the odd example where it's not clear whether a genuine shot is being played; but I don't recall ever seeing umpires allow a leg bye in instances like the OH-D drama where he obviously wasn't playing a shot.

It literally happened this game, Woakes (I think?) on Crocombe day 2. Think people are misunderstanding me, definitely the right call yesterday, id just like to see umpires enforce that law all the time. Hardly something to go life and death over though...

No that's not what im getting at. I understand that particular law of the game, would just like to see it enforced every time, not just when there's 1 to win and 9 wickets down. Seen many occasions when there's been no stroke offered, the players jog through for the extras and nobody bats eyelid, just shrugs shoulders at it. Should call it dead ball every time or not at all.
