it's pathetic. As for Stewart remember him (when he was captain) complaining about counties giving Test players "practice" before playing England

I’ve never liked Stewart or Craig White since they were the only England player (one dayer late 90’s) to not sign my autograph book in a one dayer, it was my birthday my dad got tickets in the pavilion at the end of the row where the steps the players used to go up and down, got there 90 mins before play so had about a dozen opportunities to ask everytime ignored!
I got Hussain’s & Goughs 5 times!

318 all out

Crazy Derby’s pace attack looks better than the Bears.

Tricky 12 over spell for the openers to see through here!

Jonathan Trott: Warwickshire and former England batsman to retire at end of campaign

What a find he was and career he has had!

Amazing how morals go out the window when you're in a results-based job.

Not sure the IPL is where you learn to play spin, first class cricket in India or Sri Lanka would be where to go if they get a chance.

IPL is hit & giggle for seriously big money (can’t blame them).

Yeah but they’re not developing my having a dozen ball slog at spin if England want to compete at test level in the sub continent the lads need to play first class games down there so they can get the practice in.

Still CC which is being played mainly in a bulk start of season and end.

50 over Cup 2 groups 8 games then knock outs which starts next few weeks and again played in a block.

2020 comp taking up peak time over the summer.

And in a few years there will be a City based 8 team 2020 comp like the ‘Big Bash’ & ‘IPL’.

I just can’t get into the Ipl at all it’s just mercenary cricket and from the bits I have seen there are better 20 overs cricketers in county cricket than some of the players there.

Warwickshire at lunch 144 for 2 with Wright still there on 47

Yorkshire with all there ‘stars’ back 50 all out at Essex!

There have been some terrible early season scores

Pitches are horribly under prepared due to the weather.

Plus some horrible batting by players in a rush

Glamorgan 57-0 to 94 all out
Darren Stevens at what 42 years old with a 6fer!

 

[tisza]

No excuse for some of these scores.
Yorks have 5 or 6 Test batsmen in their side.

These aren't top quality bowlers taking the wickets this season. Seems to medium-fast bowlers who generally bowl a length and occasionally swing it a bit. Shouldn't be such a problem for experienced county players.

They're not used to sticky wickets. Someone coming off a few paces nibbling the ball about is causing all sorts of problems.

Essex 142 all out

Yorkshire 62-0 off 12 2nd inns Bairstow teeing off opening, obviously a juicy wicket and the best form of defence is attack.

Bears into the lead 5 down.

A 120 first inns lead would do nicely after lunch tomorrow!

need as many as possible if Sidebottom isn't available 2nd innings

Stevens aside other low innings scores this year have primarily been against quicks with some movement.

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Lead of 121

Brookes opening the bowling and 2 wickets in his first over including their main man Madsen!

 

[tisza]

After all my complaining etc about overseas / kolpak players nice to see 2 talented young English batsmen (Brook & Bartlett) make maiden centuries early in their careers.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Bears win by eight wickets

 

[tisza]

nice little win that seeing as basically a key bowler short for the match

Some nice rest time as well straight to the top of the league and well clear

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Great win!

Yorkshire ended up winning despite being bowled out for 50 first inns!

What's a good website for county cricket scores and full scorecard?
Must be viewable outside the UK.

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Or go on the Warwickshire web site and go to match centre and watch the live feed unfortunately the radio coverage is out of sync and the commentary is done by Eakin although he is much better at the cricket than football

 

[I_Saw_Shaw_Score]

Not sure if it works abroad but the ECB website clips every wicket, boundary & match milestone in 15 second video from each game, good to catch up with.

I’ll add the link tomorrow once the next round of games start.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Weather looks ok for the next few days.

I think it will be Stone in for Sidebottom and the rest the same another win required and a few draws elsewhere and it’s a very good start.

I will be watching the stream from Edgbaston hopefully and listening to Eakin.

Northants won toss and batting 13 for 1 wright has the wicket
