Yep. Think John Hastings ( who was playing for Worcs ) was also very critical - Lewis said at the forum he doesn't like if either.
In fact I don't remember any positive feedback at all from around the circuit...so naturally FTECB continue with the experiment. Brilliant scheduling too to have these matches played when the sun doesn't set until after the close of play.

It actually would have been brilliant scheduling if they'd play as normal with a red ball with normal light. If bad natural light stops play then make up for it by starting earlier next day.
Offer entry after 4pm for £5 with accompanied kids free. Make a kill on refreshments etc with kids in.

Good idea. Needs some innovative thinking but FTECB don't do that.

No uncontested toss. Warcs won it and are batting.
Davies and Pringle in for Poynter and Coughlin.

No wickets after almost half an hour and I've already got a bad feeling about this!

17/1. Must get rid of Bell before he settles.

Bell gone to Salisbury. 52/2. Now get rid of Trott! It'll probably be one of those times where the ones we regard as the dangermen fail but someone relatively unheralded gets a hundred.

We could do without Rimmington going at almost 5 an over when the overall rate is under 3.

A wicket straight after the break but once again not followed up and another decent partnership established!
It would have been interesting (if that's the right word) to see how many wickets we'd have lost by this stage.

And of course after saying that they have taken a wicket. Salisbury again, Trott still there though 130/4.

Warwickshire slowly progressing towards a big score. It must mean conditions are excellent for batting so we will also prosper with the bat. What could possibly go wrong.

This bowling attack is far too weak - Rimmington as one of three specialist seamers and a non-spinning spinner. No wonder Warwickshire wanted to bat.
Even worse is - despite only having those 3 main bowlers - the batting looks weak too. :horse

Trotty still there, and now joined by Mr it's Durham so I want my obligatory double ton Barker. 500 for 6 by lunch tomorrow, I reckon

297/5 at the close. Only positive is the slow rate of scoring but 5 wickets is a poor return. Can't see how this attack will ever bowl a good side out cheaply unless conditions are in their favour.

Slow pitch so you need to be patient!_- that's us knackered.
Reckon Salisbury has shown enough to earn a longer contract before someone else does. Equally whoever recommended signing Rimmington clearly hadn't done their homework.

I agree, Salisbury has been very impressive. The Rimmington signing was a strange one, he might surprise us and be great in the T20's but I doubt it! He's almost totally ineffective in FC cricket as a bowler though on what we've seen so far.

50 partnership between Trott and Barker ( who was dropped on 0 ) and they seem to be scoring more quickly now.
Extras mounting up too - 22 so far.
