Derbyshire have 300 up inside 80 overs against arguably the strongest side in the division.

funny they're playing a day early at Edgbaston. See Woakes isn't in the Warwickshire side.

He's not exactly been brilliant for the Royal Bangalore Challengers and isn't currently in their side. I can't say I've watched very much of the IPL but heard he hadn't been doing well.

Yes, why are they doing this?
What happened to an appointment to view? It's a bank holiday as well so depriving school kids of action on Monday.

Ollie Robinson has all 5 wickets so far for Sussex.

Warwickshire are 152-2 with a batsman reaching 50. Well played nightwatchman Chris Wright!

Darren Stevens gets 6 as Glamorgan fail to make a ton between them.
Just gives ammo to those who question the point in County cricket. |

After play finished, Stevens said this: Quote:
This, surely, is what good bowlers have been doing since cricket started - I can imagine W G Grace, or S F Barnes, or Wilfred Rhodes or, to come more close to our time, Derek Shackleton or Don Shepherd, saying the same... |

Yep, doesn’t help us prepare for the ultimate Test though. The ECB is definitely marginalising the county game and it's to the detriment of England’s Test side. Playing so many county games on tracks tha are the polar opposite of Test tracks is just plain ridiculous. It ensures that our bowlers and batsmen have little idea of how to cope when they make the step up.
Darren Stevens is a smart cricketer. But should he really be one of the most dangerous bowlers in the country? |

Heck the whole of last winter should be exhibit A as to the limitations of even skilled medium fast bowling. I almost have sympathy for Sir Virgs POV regarding spin friendly tracks at Taunton. After all that will likely help prepare batsmen far better for the challenge of playing spin bowling in Asia.

Indeed, but the ability to play swing (even starting from dibbly dobbly pace) is still something that improves players, I think. Aussies don’t have much of that and they can’t play the moving ball. I mean our test side at the moment seem to be awful against swing outside England too, these days, but we can’t play against anything.

Yes that’s definitely an issue. Fewer games at this time is definitely a proposal I could get behind.
