The club have just posted a video of the "New Spin King" Matt Lamb.
He was a decent medium pace bowler, so would have found the conversion to leg spin a lot easier than a very occasional bowler.
The more chances Matt has to be in the side, and invoved in the game the better.
This might be a useful link to save
It's the index page for live county scores.
I'd sugest they are trying to keep Stone & Norwell fit for the first championship game.

I stuck by the rules that the club used for the side they had chosen, ie only including players you had seen.
Which excludes anyone before the Kanhai/Kalli era.
I was aware that Rohan started as a keeper, but he wasn't to the standard of Derryck or Kumar.
Having seen the sides selected by various current and past players over the winter, I thought about the best xi made up of the overseas players we've had at Warwickshire over the years.
I came up with this side.
A decent pair of wicket keepers and a very strong bowling attack.
1 Kumar S
2 Derryck Murray
3 Lara
4 Kanhai
5 Kalli
6 Moody/McMillan
7 Polly
8 Streak
9 AD
10 Jeets
11 Gibbs
I'd be interested to hear the views of others.
Interesting article on Ben, Henry and Ethan.

When Lamb and Hain were batting together it was a good Barnt Green combination, just need to get Ed Pollock in the team too.
I was thinking it could be Matt Lamb. He has a decent action when bowling seam, so could be able to convert to bowling leg spin.
