Missed the first half for that. Assumed it was over long ago, but just kept hope alive right until the very end. Enjoyed it.

As he came in I was just about to put what is the point in either of the Currans, I don’t think either would would bowl a county side out and then he has his once in a lifetime innings.

Get Woaksy back in a real bowling all rounder.

Great start for the Bears. Derby 0-2!

Games are being streamed live on YouTube for free. Looks like they've improved the setup from last year and Rob Gurney is on comms.

The streaming has got better every year I am watching on the app on my phone at the moment.

The ECB (rightly) get a lot of stick for a lot of things, but making all of these streams available with BBC commentary attached is really fantastic.
And as has been said, it is getting better too. Expecting a pretty middling season for Warwickshire this year. Batting looks pretty fragile and the bowling looks much weaker without Jeetan Patel to back things up. Having said that, OHD is steadily becoming quietly brilliant.

Handy little partnership for Derbyshire. Is it me or have most of the games been identical to eachother. Early wickets before lunch, partnership after it

Collapsed now

Has everyone forgotten how to bat over the winter? Warwick now 0/1, Rhodes out for a second ball duck.

Usual fast start from Sibley

Terry Gibson's perm · Apr 9, 2021

Bears struggling they haven’t sorted the major issue of being able to post big first innings scores.

chiefdave · Apr 12, 2021

Think I might change my mind about not bothering with The Hundred

Terry Gibson's perm · Apr 15, 2021

Bears have Notts at 70odd for 4

1nilandwe... · Apr 15, 2021

Nice to see Stone and OHD bowling together. Although Stone's radar looked a little wonky.
Shame that Norwell picked up a(nother) knock because once again, past the first two seamers, the attack looks a little bit weak. Bresnan coming on at first change could be a bit of a pressure release.

Having said that, 76-4 at lunch is not to be sniffed at.

1nilandwe... · Apr 15, 2021

Also chuffed for Dom Sibley at the Wisden announcement this morning. Does things the hard way, earned his place in the Test side through weight of runs, and thoroughly deserves to be acknowledged for it.

Gleneagles65 · Apr 18, 2021

Fantastic chase by Warwickshire, on the verge of beating Notts.

tisza · Apr 18, 2021

Really good win for the Bears - considering only had 10 batsmen

Terry Gibson's perm · Apr 18, 2021

Broad was bowling well at the end but Briggs and Bresnan did well.

chiefdave · Apr 18, 2021

Brilliant performance, didn't think they had a chance of getting that total to be honest.

No more selectors. Now falls to the England coach assisted by scouts and analysts.

Ed Smith's England selector role abolished, Chris Silverwood takes charge

Ed Smith's role as England national selector has been abolished, with team selection becoming the responsibility of head coach Chris Silverwood.

I think it's worth a try.
Too many tales of coaches being handed players they didn't want.
But be brave and pick the players for the conditions- not on who plays normally. Stop this over-rotation.
Get out there and identify these young players early - county cricket has never had so many 19/20/21 year olds playing regular games in all formats - it should be exciting times in all formats.

Trotty is back at Warwickshire

think that's a strong appointment with all those young batsmen and also Trotty had a good style and technique himself.

Gleneagles65 · Apr 25, 2021

Another tight finish on the cards as Warwickshire chase a getable target against Essex. Hopefully get to lunch with plenty of wickets in hand.

Sky Blue Pete · Apr 25, 2021

Nearly over the line, cruise control to target.

tisza · Apr 25, 2021

That's a quality win after letting Essex of the hook yesterday.
Said last year I do like Yates - really battles it out.

Terry Gibson's perm · Apr 25, 2021

Bears win Yates 120 not out

1nilandwe... · Apr 26, 2021

Second impressive run chase in successive weeks, against a really high quality attack. Essex won't be far away from the title again this year.
It was nice to see Vihari get some good runs too.

Brighton Sky Blue · Apr 26, 2021

Actually getting to play this weekend, first time in 2 years. Hope the weather behaves

Never like getting out cheap as for much of the game you'll tend to be a spectator. Will be very rusty after this long out but will just be nice to crack a few shots off
