Out for two games
I hope Chris Woakes & Moeen are getting on the first possible flight home.
Not only for their own safety, but for the effect their being out their will have on their families.
I'd also expect the ECB to have to change the planned program of international cricket this season.
with the seam bowlers it does seem to be a casre of selecting who best compliments OHD & Bresnan.
If Stone is fit he has to play as his extra pace gets wickets and creates pressure.
Our second team have a fifty over one day friendly v Cardiff Uni.
As this is played on a club ground, it may not be subject to the restrictions on Spectators there are at Edgbaston & Portland Road.
Thought I'd start the thread for the Essex game.
Can we build on the win at Trent Bridge?
What team changes do you expect to see?
There were over 1100 watching the direct youtube feed for much of Saturday, and about 100 for most of thrusday and Friday.
sadly, the decison to stop using the "live feeds' audio links has made listening to the audio coverage while out and about a bit harder.
Hopefully the "breakthrough" win our young squad needed to move forwards and become a fully competitive team for the rest of the championship season.
As others have said, great contributions from Hain, Lamb, Rhodes, Bresnan Briggs and Stone.
Hopefully the side will take confidence from the win and use the knowledge of how to win into the remaining games. The top 2 finish in the group is still possible.
It's not a bad day when both Warwickshire & Birmingham City have important wins.
An unfortunate end to the day, he had a good stand with Sam Hain and it could have made tomorrow more interesting.if they'd been together for an hour or so in the morning.
Yet another poor dismissal from Vihari,
Can we cancel his contract and get a refund of all the moeny we have spent on him? He seems to be faulty goods and not "fit for purpose"
Hopefully Malan is available next week, he has a visa and can use the same 5 day quarenteen process we used on Vihari.
How much have we wasted bringing in a short term import, and based on his comments his wife/partner?
With flights for two people, presumably not in economy, acomodation, work permit and Covid testing to allow him to exit quarenteen after five days we've already invested/wasted about £10,000 before salary.
Hve we got value for that investment?
The innings from Sam was a positive, he looked very comfortable batting, until he was out.
Lamb did seem to be reaching for a ball that should probably have been left, but it wasn't the worst dismissal of the innings.
With the known corruption in the Franchise T20 competitions, should we be getting involved at all?

Statement from the club
I was just going on the overnight reports, Not checked for any updates this morning, Sorry!
Sibley has a broken finger so is unlikely to bat
Vihari isn't giving good value for the funds invested in him so far.
Yes, Tom Banton would have been a real asset. Him and Sam Hain opening in white ball cricket would be explosive. Decent keeper too.
Vihari would struggle to get overs in club cricket if that's his standard.
Great catch by Vihari.
The wicket, and other highlights, are on the live scores page.
