1030 start time is ridiculous.

They shouldn’t be playing this late in the year anyway but if they do so they need to reduce the number of overs in the day.

Everyone can remember when 1030 starts ruined every years Natwest Cup Finals. The year we should have won the quadruple we had to bat twice in two days in the final at 1030

I’ve called this out every game whether we win the toss or not, it’s ridiculous

Lost the toss with a ridiculous 1030 start!

Play abandoned so now we have the 1030 start again tomorrow and start still short of parity. Could really have done with a couple of hours more today!

And the stand now rather proving my point.

Even through we benefited the first two days I don’t know why Counties aren’t complaining about this. Every county who wins the toss will field. Surely they remember what a farce the old Natwest Trohy finals used to be!

I supposed we couldn’t get away all game without batting at 1030!

And morons like Norcross and Collins were calling for it in the test series!

The Moeen signing was purely a marketing thing. His availability is sketchy and he doesn't seem that invested. This is the problem with signing mercenaries just looking for their next gig.
I wish him well on the franchise cricket circuit and going into coaching. He would be a better batting coach than by that fraud Frost.

Yep his loyalty to Warwickshire is questionable. I hope he’s not involved going forward!

Well on the positive we’ve now not had to bat at the ridiculous 1030 start time on both days so far.

Although Yates has just committed hari kari

Yea fairs fair how did that happen?

Credit where it’s due!

Hope it includes the white stripe as per proper Warwickshire sweaters rather than those awful things some members are wearing!

Yes the name is stupid. What sort of Club alienates its supporters?

I’m not totally sure the consistent failure isn’t connected in some way either as a jinx or just pure lack of passion for such a Mickey Mouse operation.

I walked away think meh rather than gutted.

I’ve written a friendly email to Stuart Cain about playing under our correct name. Let’s hope he listens. I noticed the crowd chanting Warwickshire la la la last night! It is our identity and heritage!

We should go back to playing as Warwickshire again

We might show more pride in our identity and heritage

The only team in world sport which doesn’t play under its own name!!!!

Oh dear Sam Hain brainless …

Glos have thrown their wickets away TBH after a good start although I don’t watch much T20 because in the B word so may be wrong.

Don’t like the Birmingham Bears business but I’ll turn up tomorrow

Everything is about the result this match. We simply have to get it done whatever it takes.

This bits predictable - Kent’s second innings revival.

I hope we’ve got enough runs in the bank to exhaust them out with two days left!

Well we’ve won the toss so that’s quite a big worry over. Now need to get 20 wickets!

Scary prospect of victory if we end up batting first!
