Suggestion that he won't be available for the first game and may well have further availability issues as the season goes on.

Agree, missing out the white stripe between the yellow is a huge oversight.

Some absolute gibberish in that article. Sounds like he's completely lost the run of himself in the last couple or so paragraphs.

Yates was terrific in last seasons Blast, 5 half centuries.

Bring on the folding chairs whilst we peer through gaps between other spectators in order to try and get a glimpse of the game.

Oh and the portable toilets.

Any parking available?

The one venue which I really hoped we wouldn't be going to.

Hated it when we played there previously.

Terrible viewing ground, cramped and uncomfortable. Gutted.

Any update on this?

3 out of the 4 ODC home games being played away from Edgbaston was always going to be a big commitment.

It's a bit of a piss take that there's been no clarification on where those three ODC cup games will be played. Having paid for and recieved my membership I'd quite like to, you know, understand where the games are being played.

What a day and tournament for him

14 wickets and the best figures at this level by an England bowler today

Was it 2018 or 2019 when he turned out for the Seconds team at age 13/14?

That was in 2020, 14 years old.

Terrific bowling, he has such brilliant control. Wylie also got 64 opening the batting. Less said about Hamza Shaikh dismissal the better though, very sad.

Yeah a couple of the Aussie lads looked rapid.

Wylie in the XI today too, 2 wickets. I said it last season when they were both performing well that there is no way Warwickshire should be looking to sign another spinner before Wylie and Ali have had a proper go. Wylie looks a real good option in white ball cricket with his batting ability and Ali already has such excellent control.

Hamza surely gets a go in the 4 day side this season at some point.

Yes very pleasing to see them both performing well in a tournament which has historically been a good indicator of talent.

Not really keen on this sort of signing. But the County have made it clear in the past 2 or 3 seasons that winning the Blast is priority.

Out for 7 today, Hasaranga done him with the googly. A beaut to be fair, had him trapped on the crease, didn't pick it at all.

Think Kai Smith is with one of the sides too.
