Warwickshire CCC 2019 Thread (10 Viewers)

Ian Bell is out for the rest of the season.

We basically need a win to be pretty safe. Key concern is if Sibley puts himself into Ashes contention. Hain needs to hold recent form.
38.pts is a big gap with 4 to play. Avoid defeat against Notts in Sept and we should be okay.

Warwick must have been watching England. That was a spectacular collapse.

Yates makes his breakthrough with a century. Fully deserved.

Hasssem Hameed will be released by Lancashire in the summer not that long ago he has England’s big hope we are a county who take players that are not performing and improve them

He's a project. Talent is there maybe just needs a fresh start. Still very young. Got to be worth a look.

He should be funded by the ecb to see if he can find form, maybe take some of Moeen Ali wage off him as he can’t play for England but straight back playing 20/20 for Worcester absolutely no benefit to England.

His 20/20 technique same as his Test batting

He may as well have had a net and worked on his problems rather than slogging spinners around the ground.

It made me laugh when he pulled Brookes for four and the commentators said 87mph is no problem for a player like him yet he doesn’t seem to be able to play 87mph in the test arena to well

He's done this before hasn't he? Been dropped for lack of form, smashed a few white ball runs and everyone says his form. Is back. He's just not a very intelligent batsman.

injury-hit Warks going well against Essex whilst Notts surrendering against Kent. Bears draw and Notts defeat basically keeps us up.

 

[SBAndy]

Sibley ticking over to 1000 runs for the season. Get him in the test side.

Nice to see Matt Lamb doing well also. Big score from him.

Sibley one of few players to actually benefit from moving up to opener

Bears avoid relegation.
Quite an achievement with the horrific injury problems over the season. never seen the like.
promising youngsters gained some valuable experience.
Interesting to see where they go from here with Farbrace's influence.

Wasn't expecting them to stay up to be honest. Hope they can build on this.

Cracking first season for young Yates, certainly one to watch

 

[tisza]

Sibley looks like he's playing himself into a tour spot - another big hundred

 

[pipkin73]

215 not out end of innings

 

[SBAndy]

Surely has to be given a chance now.

You would think so, that's his second double ton this season

 

[pipkin73]

Another 109 today to help Warks win

 

[tisza]

When the injured players are back it's a big squad next season.
Thought they'd be relegated with the early injuries but they have finished strongly.
Going to need another opener though as Sibley could be playing Tests next summer.

 

[pipkin73]

Sibley called up for the tour of New Zealand

Not what I expected to see when my phone notifications said there was an article about Andy Moles!

I saw this on twitter a few days ago and was going to put it in here but forgot a good old battler as a cricketer and seems to be the same now

Just signed Tim Bresnan for 2 years, looking at his latest figures not sure he will be worth the big wages i expect him to be on. Seems to have dried up and another Ian Bell at 35 and past it, hope i am wrong.

Knee deep in bowlers. Paying for an experienced batsman I could understand

 

[pipkin73]

Seen as an allrounder and they have said they want his experience to rub off on the younger players. Like i said before, same reason for keeping Bell and Trott on. Great for the experience but they need to contribute on the field as well or else you might as well just pay for the worlds best coaches.

When is cricket returnijg?

When is cricket returnijg?

Test matches start this week. Counties are back in training, well Warwick are not sure about anyone else, and the season should be starting on 1 August. There will need to be a new format & fixture list which should be sorted in the next week or two.

Will try follow it more this year. I do miss the bears

But that damn name change. One day isn't a possibility

Hate the name change. Hopefully they will think about changing it back now there's a Birmingham team in the Hundred. Although I can see that flopping and not lasting long.

Bresnan Century on debut. Shows I know nothing about cricket

Without that we looked a bit short on runs still don’t be too hard on yourself

What a shower if shit that performance has been, pathetic batting the lack of bringing in an experienced batsman is showing.

Hain just not cutting it at 3 in red ball cricket. Hain & Bell at 3 and 4 should be as good as there is in CC cricket but just not happening.
Plus so many bowlers being rotated doesn't help.
