Porterfield another duck, he can only score a few runs when they don't matter. Meanwhile we are heading toward a resounding defeat unless our lower order can play their very best.

Haven't they done well. I remember the days when Warwickshire was a big attraction for West Indian fans, what's happened?

Where do we start?

1) West Indies in decline.

2) Back then, black Britons were of Caribbean origin, with a cricket culture. Now, they're mainly of African origin, with no cricket culture.

3) Second-generation Britons of WI parentage are moving towards football and athletics, instead of cricket, simply because they see no role models in English cricket, while there are black Britons in football and athletics.

I saw more black Britons at the Diamond League meet in Stratford East than I did at the Oval for the Windies match against Pakistan....

That's probably why Chambers, Jordan and Gordon learnt how to play the cricket game in the Caribbean, before moving to England...it's not really happening here.

Good day one for Warks v Lancs let's hope we can hold on against Anderson and CO. in the early morning conditions today.' Porterfield has now reached a worrying total equal to his CC average.

Kim will be pleased that Sam Hain came on as sub fielder so he's obviously with the first team squad.

Captain Bell led from the front today, scored more runs than the rest of the Bears batsmen put together :)

Another 50 for Porterfield as he battles to gain respect of Bears fans and maybe save his CC career. When Bell is unavailable we'll need runs from somewhere.
