Just seen, yes, shame. A colossal county cricketer.
Sad but inevitable news. The management didn't learn the lesson from the Chris Rushworth episode. Two games was all he lasted. That's what happens with 39-year-old pace bowlers.
Anyway, thanks for the memories Ronnie and happy retirement.
Pretty special way to sign off with that 3 wicket and utimately match winning over against Essex.

Most electric Edgbaston has ever been on a Monday morning, incredible scenes.
A really interesting interview with Keith Barker:

With his Level 4 coaching qualifycation and his experience of the highs and lows of two sports he could become an excellent bowling coach and mentor for young players moving from agegroup cricket into the full time game.
Yes agreed.
Careful Thats at least 4 times we've agreed this year :-)
For a young player like Charlie Taylor to be able to talk to and learn from Keith, OHD and Chris Woakes as well as the official bowling coaches would be a great experience and help him develop into the top quality bowler we hope he will be.
