Vihari isn't giving good value for the funds invested in him so far.
Only played one day ! although that is the problem with such short term contracts
Shame we can't sign Malan and Vahari, I don't see an issue of 2 overseas players when they're of a high standard and can help push the youngsters.
Pretty disappointing day.
We should have the advantage after Day 1 but I think Notts have the upper hand now.
Particularly with Sibley issue
letting them get away with this...
I remember Vihari bowling some decent off-spin ! looks like he's out of practice with his bowling
Disappointed Norwell not playing but maybe fitness relayed
Just starts Notts streaming coverage and they have a presenter involved, looks way more professional than our offer
Whilst I was fairly happy with our package, the club does need to look at what is being done elsewhere as I'm pretty certain by the end of today their coverage will be shown to be far superior.

I've been screaming for us to play 6 batsmen.
Agreed, with the pitches offering so much assistance in the early stages of the season we should be maximising on the likes of Rhodes who can offer plenty as a fifth bowler (if even required)
OHD, Bresnan, Stones, Norwell, Vihari, Rhodes is a great attack for April
I'm really interested to see what existing fans think of this when it finally gets around to attending matches
I'm a big fan of the T20 blast however I have no interest in IPL and generally International 20/20 as there is no context for me.
I have even less interest in The Hundred however, I do think a lot of people will come around to it.
Personally if they needed to do anything it was tweaks and better promotion of the T20 Blast
Id go for Sibley, Rhodes, Yates, Hain, Vihari, Lamb, Burgess, Bresnan, Norwell/Briggs, Stones, OHD
Ideally Norwell over Briggs, Vihari can actually bowl some decent off spin.
Just had a quick look and Notts streaming service is an improvement on ours. Follows the ball much better
Frustrating draw
I really hope we don't have the same issues as we did last year. We were in great position after day 1 and should have put ourselves in a much better position

Still plenty of time and the showers might be a bit hit and miss hopefully more miss. Get 30-40 ahead then really accelerate either side of lunch and hopefully pull out 100 ahead about 2pm
Unfortunately don't think that will happen.. really letting a good opportunity slip here. Hoping a 30-40 lead will be the difference

There have been over 1000 viewers on youtube both days, including people from the USA, Aus and New Zealand, as well as the annoying spammers from India.
One benefit of live streaming is that Warwickshire, and the sponsors get world wide coverage, & it's great that Sam Hain's family in Aus can see him play.
Totally agree, great for fans abroad to watch the game. I think its pretty good standard , much better than the previous two fixed cameras. Commentary is pretty much in sync which is very helpful!!
Disappointing day so far
Hopefully our lower middle order can get us out of trouble
Fingers crossed we can get a few partnerships going today, cold day out in the field !!
Was pretty impressed with the stream yesterday! I assume they might start charging a fee once members/supporters can return
Living over in Ireland the stream is brilliant for me.
0-2
County cricket in April returns !

Hopefully ours will be similar to Glamorgans stream which was brilliant last year
If its a bowler friendly pitch I'd play the extra batsmen so Brookes and Miles miss out for me
OHD Bresnan Norwell Rhodes and Briggs should be good enough.
Shame if so as I do think a long term overseas signing is required
I'm going for the following
Sibley
Malan
Yates
Hain
Rhodes
Lamb
Burgess
Bresnan
Brings
Stone/Norwell
OHD
Quite like the look of that side with Mousley and Hose waiting for an opportunity
Bowing wise youd still have the likes of Sidebottom looking for a chance
