Not got enough discipline for that, nor much appetite for running so middle order slogging it is
That’s true that’s why I open
Having spent the last couple of weeks insisting the IPL will continue despite the situation in India surely they're going to have to either pull the plug or move it to the UAE, probably where it should have been staged to begin with as last years went off without a hitch there.
Overseas players starting to pull out and head home, Indian players pulling out to be with their families. I get the idea of keeping it going as its a bit of entertainment in an otherwise bleak situation but can't really see it being completed. Can't imagine any overseas player is comfortable being there now.
was actually a good recovery from 30/8 to 87 all outA steady start for Warwickshire batting first against Durham, 55/8.
Actually getting to play this weekend, first time in 2 years. Hope the weather behaves
we didn’t have any pre season training this year. Played a friendly a couple of weeks ago and could barely get up the stairs to bed that night!

Watched a decent chunk of the live stream yesterday and the good news for England fans is that Mark Wood looked like he was bowling some absolute rockets.
My game got cancelled as there was COVID at Higham Lane so the opposition were short on players and this week doesn’t look promising as the weather is shocking.
How are you feeling today?Hadn't played in a few years and it showed. Hit a 6 then played all round a straight one the next ball
How are you feeling today?
I felt like I’d had a punch between the shoulder blades yesterday and was too stiff to ride my bike but all good today. I managed 7 overs on he trot on Saturday and batted for a good while too.
A few of our lads had been going to edgwick park as there’s some nets up there. Now might be a good time to get up there with Ramadan being on at the minute.Never like coming on to bat near the end, I like being in the middle for a decent time as usually I won't bowl. Not easy getting net time at the moment either with it needing pre-booking in small groups which doesn't help when you aren't a club member

This season's IPL now postponed. Not a surprise. Hope everyone gets home safely and healthy.Can't go on much longer surely? There's Australian players, commentators and even an umpire stranded as they aren't allowed to return. Some have left India for other countries. With the secure bubble now breached continuing must be a huge risk.
The only option I can see is everyone moving to the UAE to finish the competition but that's a big undertaking and would add 3 or 4 weeks to the schedule by the time preparations were made, everyone travels and quarantines.
Chris Lynn said last week that Cricket Australia should charter a plane to fly them all back because they get 10% of all the contracts involving Australians. Maybe they should personally charter a plane using some of their 90%!?Slater, who has been over there commentating, is kicking off that the Australian government won't make an exception and organise his return.
Not got a lot of sympathy to be honest. Happy to travel there and take the money but now wants someone else to sort things for him. Its not like there's no way for him to get back, all he has to do is go to another country first for two weeks, others in the same situation are heading off to resorts for a two week holiday and will then return to Australia from there.
They've being flown to the Maldives, couple of weeks there isn't exactly a disaster. Looks like BCCI are footing the bill and will fly a charter from there back to Australia subject to government approval with Cricket Australia being very clear they aren't seeking any exception to the rules in place.Chris Lynn said last week that Cricket Australia should charter a plane to fly them all back because they get 10% of all the contracts involving Australians.

No Bears game today so I was wondering what I would do if Sibley comes back from injury before England duty calls.
I like the look of Yates, Malan, Hain. So does Lamb make way in order to move Rhodes down the order? Or is Rhodes place in the side in jeopardy?
Archer didn't make it through his first game on return from injury and is out of the test series. Why do we have so much trouble keeping pace bowlers fit?
