I don't like this apparent acceptance of just 14 CC matches. We need a system whereby teams play each other both home and away.

This needs raising with the club at the first opportunity. Normally I would assume the management know better than those watching the game from the stands. But this defies logic and members deserve an explanation IMO

So we are letting go the batsman who came second behind Hain! Madness.

I agree with you Paul. Over here in Leics friends/neighbour always refer to me following Warks. never Birmingham or indeed anything else. I just wish Birmingham could be dropped from the T20 team and go back to naming the Birmingham end after one of the Warwickshire past heroes.
Incidently, apart from commentators does anyone call it the Birmingham End?

It is a shame that Warwickshire continues to be omitted. Is it because Birmingham now sits in the county of West Midlands and it's felt Warwickshire is somewhere else? Perhaps the club should rename itself as West Midlands County Cricket Club !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Is this the first time trouble at Yorkshire is not coupled with the name of a certain Geoffrey Boycott !!

Reminds me of the last day of the 2005 Ashes game but today had the added tension of would the light fading be the winner

As it's not really a pavilion I think that end should be renamed the Norwell End. What a performance.

And to think those running the game want to reduce the number of games played!!!

Half way there - living on a prayer

Hadn't realised Hain is injured - looked in real trouble first ball.

Still going for it,though. Holding Hain back for when they need to shut up shop I suppose.

100 You make it sound so easy !!!!!!!!!

Ironic it is Barker holding us up with Vince

Hants only need 4 points (I think) to secure runners up slot. So they will be happy to play out a draw or score over 300 in first innings.

We have declared - Hants to face a few overs tonight - be great to get a couple of wickets

Gloucs getting away from Yorks now and still only 5 wickets down. Looks like there will be more play tonight - but how much?

We were 15 behind Yorks before this round of games started. Yorks getting 3 bowling puts them 18 ahead. Assuming they then lose and Warks win then us having 2 batting points already means we only need 1 bowling point to put us ahead of Yorks. Lots of ifs and maybe's but that's the joy of cricket

Should we declare now and have the rest of the day to get a few wickets?

Perhaps maybe declare at tea to avoid losing the overs between innings
