Our fielding has been poor today.

At some point in the next week or two, I’m going to update the forum software. I don’t know exactly when I’ll be able to do this (depends when I can find a spare hour or two) but there may be some downtime when it happens. I’ll try to avoid this being during any Warwickshire games though. This update should fix one or two issues and maybe even bring in a new feature or two!

Can someone remind me how the qualification works? Is it top team from each group goes straight to semis, and 2nd and 3rd from each group play each other for the other semi-final spots?

With how hot and dry this summer has been, pitches will probably be more favourable for spin for the rest of the season.

Will Rhodes scored 148 not out for Durham to take them to victory over Glamorgan, as they made 328/7 after being 97/6.

If we’re after Cox then maybe it’s a sign that Davies will give up the gloves to focus on opening the batting?

Makes it all even more curious.

Could just be that he’s not 100% fit after injuring himself in the last game so they didn’t want to risk him playing and making it a lot worse?

Why are we bowling so short when it clearly isn’t working?

Desperately need wickets now.

It’s a shame Garlick wasn’t playing at the same time as Onions and Mustard.

Northants have been quite lucky so far.

I thought that the gaps in the crowd were because fans of the two beaten semi-finalists wouldn't necessarily stay for the Final. But the short gap between the quarters and Finals Day can't have helped.
It would be interesting to know what the Club has to say about ticket sales - how close was it to a sell-out?

It was officially a sell out, at least according to the Edgbaston social media.

Incredible that out of the three of them (Stokes, McCullum, Key) that Key is the only one to survive. He should have been the first to go.

We’d need a lot of results to go our way now

I think second place is still within reach - we play Glamorgan and Gloucestershire next, and then Glamorgan again. If we win all three then we’ll be close

These two big wins have done wonders to our NRR!

Webster is going to be a huge miss in both comps, which is testament to how good an overseas signing he has been. Given our record with overseas has been pretty poor over the years we have to give the club a lot of credit for this one.

Ive been hugely impressed with him, this season and last season, and he seems to be popular amongst the group. I'd definitely have him back again.

Agreed. He received his cap before the Worcestershire game as well which further emphasises how popular he seems in the squad

Could do with a big win to help the net run rate

Making a real mess of this

Certainly seems like it’s all to play for in the second half of the season with the top six teams separated by just 11 points!
