We will chase again and our 2 absentees from the Worcestershire game are back. Come on lads get us to a final, we haven't had one since Surrey at Lord's.

You don't see many one-day hundreds from a number 7 but to do it with so little experience is amazing. Looks like Leicestershire did something similar v Hampshire so major surprises from 2-3 hours ago.

A winning mentality is fine but when you have so many young players who are not used to even playing in important games like this, it is hard for a team and continuity is another thing, so many players who are not used to playing with the few senior players we have in the side. For many of our young players playing in this game, this is the biggest game they have ever played in and they must be pretty nervous just being out there and a winning mentality is what a side is used to if they are at 75-100% strength which we are definitely not.

Yes, at least the 2 that have gone, are not used to these situations anyway but then again, this is the sort of thing we will have to get used to if the ridiculous ECB allow a few morons to take over the game and decide we need a new competition whereby the laws of the game are changed and players do not care about it apart from earning a good bit of dosh and trying to put themselves in the IPL and BigBash window and earning even more. Certain side might have to consider looking for short term contracts for decent overseas players, to play in this competition if they are serious about it.

Davies, Ali, Mousely, Bethel, Gleeson, Briggs, Hain, Woakes (Would have been in Phoenix squad if not for Tests) are players we have not had a chance to pick and take away 2 more from the Lions side (Don't get me started on players who we have missed because of this stupid fixture) and you can see why a lot of us are not confident about a win tomorrow. No wonder Glamorgan have done so well, no one really wants to pick from their player pool. The ECB really do not like 50 overs games or county cricket for that matter.

Liam Dawson played for Hampshire today after his team were eliminated from The Hundread, so no reason why we cannot have any of our players back and after the last 2 games, I would say we need them.

Stupid way, both Benjamin and then Smith got out, the latter, even worse as it was a carbon copy from 3 balls earlier. Surprise, surprise, it's our batsmen getting out to part-timers yet again, why do we do it so often, the word must go around the counties, "Bring your trundlers and part-time spinners on, Warwickshire will find a way of gifting you wickets". We might even find a way of finishing 3rd and an away fixture in a quarter-final.

The batting is very much weakened, a very difficult decision if we win the toss.

Yes, forgot about 'The Hundread', I often do hope to forget about it. If there are enough outgrounds with decent pitches, it might make sense but I do remember a CC game v Hampshire where the pitch was so poor, it finished in just over 2 days, but I get your point.

I suppose that does make sense but we have a big ground just sitting there doing nothing for longer if we don't play there often enough. Perhaps playing more 2nd XI games at Edgbaston might be a way of using it more. The good thing about these games at Rugby is that a crowd of 2000+ is more than we might have had at Edgbaston. A home quarter-final is out of our hands if Glamorgan win their last game and over the yeas we have pulled off many great wins away from home so all the talk of 'Home Advantage' isn't always true.

Yorkshire look out of it as it's a straight shoot-out between Glouc and Leics which means there is probably nothing riding on Glamorgan's last game v Yorkshire same as our game v Notts so we have to hope we win and Glamorgan lose.

Trust us to get beaten (Have I called it too early) by a side who cannot really get through to the knock-out stages. Glamorgan v Leicestershire could be close but we will still be 2nd after this latest round.

Here we go again, a bloke who has 61 wickets in 44 first-class games is making us look like chumps. Yes, I know this is a different format but we do seem to have this great habit of succumbing to part-time trundlers. I do hope this pitch gets slower and lower and maybe we have a good score what ever we make but I would prefer a top of the table finish rather than undoing all the good work in this group and having to play a quarter-final.

Yes, he was a real diamond, had never even seen him play before he came to us and in the only CC game I recall from the past few seasons v Gloucestershire was 2018 in div 2 and he wasn't playing for them, Miles did (5-69) and as if to emphasise Andy's point, only Hain and OHD are left from that side. Whatever he does I wish him well, he has a CC winning medal and it is surprising the amount of great players who haven't got one of those.

At least the commentators in the end, gave us credit for a good win and Barnard is proving to be such a good signing - Can we please do the same with signing an overseas player.

Highveld, was just going to type exactly what you said. You would think Gloucestershire were a side who regularly swept all before them, the way they talk about them. Also their ability to talk down and criticise the opposition, saying that Taylor should have been caught by one of the fielders running after a ball going away from him and disappearing over the boundary over the bowlers head, not sure what anyone could have done with it. Poor captaincy from Barnard, not to bowl himself out early on, it used to be Darren Maddy's downfall on so many occasions when a bowler who had hardly gone for any, was short of their allotted overs.

Excellent, thought it was all gone when Sibley was still there. Nothing worse than seeing one of your old team mates take you apart but we held our nerve, great result.

Flippin' 'eck eh! Good entertainment, thank you to whomever came up with the idea of 'Live Streaming'. A terrific win, who knows if that will be significant in both qualifying and getting an automatic semi-final place.

A big loss, a decent human being as well, never showboated when we won the title in 2021, just accepted the trophy and passed it about, enjoying the whole moment. Great pity, he has a few years yet and contributed at a very poor time for the club when we were losing the majority of the old guard and the team changed considerably but he held things together and came out of it deservedly with praise and credit.

Well, that does appear to have gone quite swimmingly as they say.
