Bowler Liam Norwell signed on a 3 year deal from Gloucestershire.
Ave 13 with the bat & 27 with the ball in first class cricket.
Perfect no international chances so a regular player
Chris Wright replacement, number 10 bowls steady nothing special but will do a job.
When graham welch gets hold of them he tends to find a bit more as well.
Happened to me, my employer thought put the younger ones on the heavy jobs .Broke my back and still knackered now 25 years later (it's why i moved to a warmer climate). Bodies need time to grow naturally, a bit of help is good but they still need natural growth as far as poss.Players are pushed too early when their bodies aren’t physically able to cope. Gym work won’t help as their skeletons aren’t fully formed and too much muscles will cause problems with backs etc
Ben Raine from Leicestershire looks like he’s joining too (apparently subject to Warwickshire being promoted), bowling all rounder scored a ton v Bears in 2020 at Edgbaston couple of weeks ago.
Zak Chappell who Warwickshire have been after for the last year has gone to Notts (shock) instead from Leicester, IMO he’s head and shoulders above Norwell and Raine from what I’ve seen and already talked about as a possible international player.
Where is Adam Hose this year he hardly seems to have appeared

seems to be players who can do a bit in all forms of the game rather than being strong in one particular facet (red ball or white ball)
Bring in Sibley a middle order batsman (averaging under 30 in over 40 CC games) and try and convert him into an opener - now averaging under 20. Not sure how much opening Rhodes had done either.
Hose is supposed to be what exactly? - white ball specialist?
Norwell & Raine do seem to be wicket takers at this level.
Batting cover would seem to be the important issue. A proper opener and someone to try and fill Trott's shoes.

There seems to be a shortage of openers in the country, I think the Warwick squad is to big and players just disappear like Umeed and Hose.
I don’t think either Sibley or Rhodes have opened before signing but iss would be better to confirm
I agree. Too many players and spread across too many formats of the game. Over rotation particularly in CC. you'd think there would be a 1stXI that only altered slightly for pitch conditions etc.There seems to be a shortage of openers in the country, I think the Warwick squad is to big and players just disappear like Umeed and Hose.

Don't get that. Was playing well (from memory) then just seemed to drop out of the picture after an injury lay-off Can throw the bat as well.Barker not playing white ball for last few years is a joke, got probably the most control with the ball out of all the bowlers!
I wonder if he’s replacing rashid?Poysdon has joined Yorkshire initially on loan then a three year deal
I wonder if he’s replacing rashid?
Yes he has.
Awful decision to let him go, been really under used at Warwickshire!
Not a popular move on Twitter
Rightly so, leggies are rare as rocking horse shit, Patel has a couple of years left and there doesn’t appear to be a better spinner coming through.
Genuinely an atrocious decision.
I see Jordan Clark from lancs has chosen Surrey over Warwickshire and the Bears are at the back of the queue for seamer Richard Gleason from Northants
Yes just read that again they seem to going for quantity over quality, but I guess they are worried that when both fit Stone and Brookes will be interesting the selectors.
Glad Clark has gone to Surrey his record is modest at best and he won’t improve his bowling average there
I guess Raine from Leicester will come in with Chappell going elsewhere
starting to wonder whether Mooen thinks it's personal when he bats against warks/birm teams
How long was the deal with Birmingham Council for them to be named Birmingham? The sooner its changed back the better as far as I'm concerned.Anyway ‘Birmingham’ are done and dusted for another year and out in the groups!
Back to Warwickshire for the remainder of the season!

The new competition is supposed to be city based, Will they want there to be 2 Birmingham teams or will that prompt a change?
I’m not sure the name will change I think they will not tie a city name to the franchises they will just have a gimmick name
Don't care. This won't last more than a couple of years. Stupid gimmick.I don’t buy into nor will support the franchise crap but if they’ve got sense it’ll ‘Midlands (insert silly nickname here)’ to be more inclusive
