Does it make any difference who we pick or where they bat. We will lose a lot of money in the later home games if we can't qualify and they become meaningless, people just won't turn up and the crowds have been awful anyway.

I think these Lions games are a waste of time. I think county games in any format produce more intense cricket.

Take Lynn out of their side and I don't think they have much batting but we fed them too many runs with short rubbish too often. A few tighter overs early on and we might have had enough to win.

Our last over was disappointing and I did wonder at the time if 208 was enough but even if we got another 10, it doesn't mean we would have won as exactly the same thing can't happen if the circumstances change. But, that was defendable but the 'Powerplay' was awful, too many short balls and it continued into the 12 before we appeared to bring it back slightly. I cannot see the point of bowling it halfway down the pitch, full balls proved to be difficult to hit and so our best batting was followed by our worst bowling. What to do, is it too late, try Gilchrist and Bamber or change the name back to 'Birmingham Bears'. Just a thought, some bloke called Lintott took 4-1-19-3 today v Surrey, just saying.

No reason we can't win. I have always thought that the reason why so many sides from the 2nd division of the CC have won this T20 is because the shorter the format the more it even's things up. Better sides win long format cricket and if you had a 5-over per side competition, even a side depleted by injury could win it. No need to fear Northants, in short-formats, it only takes 2 players to suddenly find form and it all changes. COYB.

Fancy batting badly against this pile of ****, how many of their team would you say were better than most of ours.

A lot has been said about Hain not scoring quickly enough and just when he starts to look like he is 'Going For It', he has a rush of blood to the head.

New Road is notorious for having little pace and sometimes 2 spinners can work. I remember in the 1980's they had Illingworth and Leatherdale and loads of those horrible 'Nibbly' bowlers with no pace and often used to win with crappy scores on the board batting first.

If this one is lost, 1/4 of our games will be gone in this competition and that might affect crowds which I think were down last year compared to 2024. We must start getting the confidence back that we had when finishing in a quarter-final place virtually every year.

Thank you Andy, I always struggle to find the ultimate link/prompt, etc that gets me the right place to get my ticket. I might just get them to print one off for me on Sunday when we are at home to Northamptonshire.

Do members need a ticket still, to get into the T20 game v Worcestershire in June.

Fewer matches in the T20 this season so it's really a case of too many cock-up's and you are gone. At 100 with 8 overs to go, we got a bit stuck, the boundary was far out on all sides but I lost count of the amount of times we hit the ball really hard and straight along the ground to a fielder on the boundary for a single and they managed to bisect our fielders so many times, maybe a bit of practice needed in placing the ball in gaps. The bowling looked poor and majorly disappointed as I sat there from 11.10 hoping for 2 good games and got none.

Is there some sort of mentality or maybe a 'Tornado Like' rush of blood to the head that makes batsmen with a seemingly straightforward task, suddenly think they need to get to the target as soon as they can. After a game like this, do they actually look at each other and say, "What did we do that for when it wasn't necessary". We have seen it before, for instance last year v Sussex in the 50-over game, yes, a lot closer than this but the same sort of situation where hard work is done and all that is needed are a few clear heads to make sure the game is done.

Total Shite or am I being too generous.

Just like that quarter final, why bother working it around, try and win it in 10 overs but at this rate it looks as though we won't win at all.

I would have settled for that at the start of the season, 2nd, 5 points behind Notts.

The rain hath arrived. getting 46 overs in after tea looks impossible and diminishes the chance for us to win as we lose overs. Seeing as we have been chasing the game since Saturday teatime, I think it wouldn't be so bad to get a draw. That would keep us in 3rd just behind Notts who appear to be struggling to get wickets. Good.

My headmaster at junior school did 'Teacher Training' with him, not sure exactly when. He was an amiable figure and the last time I saw him was when we waited for coaches just after the 2016 Royal London Cup Final. I had to tell one of the females who was waiting, who he was.

75 overs I would think but they will be able to have close catchers in for all of our innings. Can't think of any reason to have batted on for so long but if there actually is no rain, perhaps they fancy their chances. Hope we don't go crazy and try and do a 'Harry Brook' at every ball.

Not sure what Glamorgan's thinking is here, try and bat us out of it but be able to set attacking fields for the rest of the game. Cooke, van der Gugten, Norton and Crane have contributed 17 from 70 balls!
