No squad announced for this yet, but in the interview with Briggs on the website it says that Briggs, Brathwaite and Mayers are available, with Woakes available for Sunday's game. We must win both to stand a chance of qualifying!

Does the average points per game set up now because of Derbyshire help or hinder us?

Do games which were rained off count as "completed matches"?

Yeah I've been wondering this, what is the situation here?

Warwickshire currently have a ppg of 0.92

Two wins would raise that to 1.07 (15 points from 14 games)

Sides are awarded 1 point from an abandoned game.

The full regulations can be downloaded from the ecb website.

13 man Squad:-

Rhodes, Brathwaite, Briggs, Burgess, Hain, Hose, Lamb, Lintott, Mayers, Miles, Pollock, Sidebottom and Yates.

I guess Sidebottom will be one to miss out, but can't predict the other ?

Sidebottom then a toss up between Lamb and Yates.

Yep, Sidebottom and Lamb out.

We won the toss and chose to bat.

Excellent from Sam & Carlos, their partnership has given us a chance.

I feared the worst when the openers failed (again). It was good to see Hain regain some form and Brathwaite bat patiently until the final couple of overs.

Always satisfying to win the derby!

I do wonder why Rhodes doesn’t bowl himself that much, he always seems to take wickets.
