On the road again

Canned Heat 1968, ask me another.

Unchanged squad as per the club site.

If we’re gonna make move it’s got to be this week.

Feel it’s unlikely that us, Somerset and Notts all win both games, so think that if we can win both of ours we’ll have a good chance.

Averages etc goiung into the game https://live.nvplay.com/ecb/?tab=m_summary#m48c293b5-14d5-49a9-bb82-206bc7bb9a9b

Big test for the "win when it matters" mentality here, if we can keep going here when everyone's playing at the same standard then I think we're taking big steps forward.

Weather looks pretty ropey around the 3 venues and if we are still around the same point difference coming into the last game, we might have to take a risk or two in this one maybe.

We're maybe at the stage where with rain affected games we could see captains getting together and trying to set targets, forfeited innings etc...

I can only see that happening in our last game v Leicestershire if they also need to win to stay up but I cannot see it being the case in any of Somerset's or Notts' games as none of their opponents are in need of a win, maybe to get better positions and prize money. I doubt if any captain wants to be the one to hand a title to either of the top 3.

Big toss to win tomorrow!

Cook available for Essex and Noah Thain is back from injury. No Porter.

Forecast for Notts and Somerset’s games considerably worse than ours, particularly on Thursday. According to current forecast, we’ll be due to miss the worst of it. 😬

Any word on whats happened to Will Young?

And when the hell did Notts sign Mukesh Kumar?!

So I wait nervously for the toss hoping we bowl and then we lose and do anyway.

Notts announced him yesterday but someone claimed they would have needed to agree it with the ECB some time ago.

Hmmm

That’s Rob Yates 34th catch for the season, next for Warwickshire is Mousley on 12.

Amazing Ethan Bamber
