For someone has been follower of cricket for 50? years, I'm embarrassed to say I am unaware of the significance of the County Cap. Can anybody help me?
I thought you received it on debut.

Burgess ?

Thanks H. As stated on here many times, absolutely appalling treatment of Lamb by Warwickshire. "One of our own"

Just looking at scoreboard again v Hants, of course our forced declaration meant they only got 1 bowling bonus point & ultimately lost second place & £145,000 by 1 point.

For those in the know, was Lamb playing Seconds after being dropped? & how did he get on? Ta

Last chance saloon (not that we necessarily deserve one) is there an argument to declare now & see how it goes.
Regardless of anything else, need 20 wickets to have a drink in that saloon.

I heard Strauss yesterday in the Sky TV Box doing a bit of comms.

Do we know, have the other high profile 'pundits' Atherton, Hussain or Jonathan Agnew etc. made any public comment on the balmy proposals??

Wondered if anyone watched, just saw headline on BBC Sports app about the lad scoring a ton & Henry Brookes taking 5 wickets.
Watched the little clip of his wickets. One of which was a nice slower bowl that cleaned up batsman who was trying a ramp shot. Looking at scoreboard, I then realised the said batsman was one Alex Davies !!!
Not that I give a flying "#@k about the game or result. But one would hope a batsman practices to get better & may even learn from his mistakes or even.. his own bowlers whilst standing behind stumps.
Don't know whether to laugh of cry.

That was abysmal bowling at the end. Matt Mason, as the bowling coach has been useless. He's nowhere near as good as Graeme Welch. You have to question the decision making by the club's management. To me, Allan Donald should've got the role.

Do we think 'white-lightning' is actually Allan Donald, trying to get a job? lol
Wasn't that his nickname?

On coaching, what does Director of Cricket do?
Everytime I hear Farbrace speak, I am not impressed, even before he came to Warwickshire & was with England.
I am probably being unfair, but can we blame Paul Farbrace for so many failings this year?

Well done Carlos. My hero.

& decision making. Mousley part time bowler in power play

Carlos first over poor... again.

Cheating Yorkies knocked out Surrey.
Funny.
Didn't want either team to go through

Not as bad as the LBW for Lintott given Not Out.
Decent bowling effort to get that close with 'under par score'

Yes, take that @ 3 for 2.
No idea if it's enough though.
Surely, we can bowl less wides than then though.

"To be fair, I don’t think there was much Davies could have done about that".

What about Brathwaite?

Cum on U Bears.
Worcs one win from 11, forgot who that was against.

Moeen back, with a short boundary, probably need 250.

"Disgraceful really."

Yes, indeed & I do not understand the reasoning.

Yes probably, I don't mind that at all & would expect so. It was the "you've win the ballot" that upset me.
If they said tickets on sale at 10am, fine. But I didn't try buying till later as I had "won the ballot".

I won't mention this again. Lol

Yes, this was all very Bizzare.

Did anyone 'win' the SA ballot to begin with? I did, but on trying to buy Day One tickets for SA game on the day ballot opened, it was sold out!! I wrote to Edgbaston (no response) to query what part of 'winning' the ballot had I achieved? Did anyone Not win the ballot? More annoyingly, received follow up email telling me it was the last chance/day to buy tickets following my 'ballot win' when Day 1 was sold out on first day. Wrote to Edgbaston again (no response).
Bought ticket for Day 2 of SA test. Then this bizzare change of date & team which my ticket is still valid for! ???
I am not on any Social Media so would like to see any coverage of this decision, if anyone can publish here ?
I wanted to see SA, not that bothered about a final test against India, where they pulled out of last fixture, so players could get back for restart of IPL anyway or are we not allowed to say that?
