Superb performance from OHD, to get some movement out of a 55 over old kookaburra takes some serious skill. 👏👏👏

If it weren't for the seemingly flat pitch and awful kookaburra ball you would think that Warks would have this game wrapped up today. I'm still confident of a win but it might take both days to get there. We're only half way through this round of games and there's already been 14 hundreds scored with - I think 3 of them being double tons.
The lads are going to have to be patient and take the chances when they come, the new ball will be available just after lunch and that could be crucial.

The schedule this season has been terrible, not just for supporters but for players too. There's been a lot of bowlers pulling up injured and they're putting it down to the start-stop schedule early season.
I can see big changes coming in 2025, there's a push from some chairmen to adopt the 3 league conference system again, which, I think, will lead eventually to the number of championship games being reduced to ten. I hope that doesn't happen, but change is coming, and not necessarily for the best as far as us supporters are concerned.

Yes we might not finish in the top two now

There's still a lot of cricket to be played yet, Warks have a game in hand on Surrey and the immediate teams below us. 32 points behind with 8 games left is going to be difficult to make up but not impossible.
