It's really annoying, and a waste of time when people post non functioning links,
No need to be no snarky, we all make mistakes.

Who here would actually refer to have Viahari instead of Malan?
Well given that Vihari has currently scored more runs than Malan, I’d choose him!
Another good win, I feel that this is definitely a game that we’d have lost last season - I think we’d have fallen short at the end. Our batting looks a lot better this year.

Excellent performance by all. Great win.
1 thing, I would like to see Brookes back ASAP. If that had been closer, I’d be concerned about who’d bowl the death overs. Brookes was so good at that last year.
Isn’t Brookes injured?
Superb win, nice to get a huge score for once! Must be one of our highest T20 scores, I can only think of the McCullum 158* match when we scored more.
Bring back Vihari 😉 😜
It’s my first visit to Edgbaston today since 2019 and it’s made me realise just how much I’ve missed a day of county championship cricket! Great last wicket partnership and I agree about the odd field placement - at one point they had both a mid-off and long-off at the same time!
Nice to see the addition of number of balls faced/overs bowled to the live stream - a big improvement in my opinion. Shows that the club do listen to feedback as I emailed Tom Rawlings to suggest it a few weeks ago so if anyone has any suggestions it's worth dropping the club an email!
Do we know for sure that it's the ECB that have prevented Woakes from playing? Given how much he's been away from home/in bubbles over the last year there's a chance that he may have chosen to spend some time with his family.
I don't suppose there's any chance of us trying to go for the win in this game? If Notts win today it will really put the pressure on us to beat them next week.
What an awful start to the day.
Is it just me or does the outfield seem to be very slow?
I suspect that we also didn't want to give Harmer the chance to bowl in the fourth innings.
Nice to win the toss for once! Need to make it count.
He certainly impressed against Essex recently. Hopefully he can produce plenty more performances like that one.
Well this is more like it! When was the last time we were only one wicket down at lunch after losing the toss?
Well this has been a pretty shocking effort so far. There's a very real chance that we could come away from this match with zero points!
I don’t think any of us can say if Vihari has been a worthwhile investment. We don’t know how much he’s cost us. We also don’t know how much he’s added in terms of passing on knowledge to our players, particularly in terms of playing spin (he looked completely untroubled by Harmer in the Essex match, especially in the first innings). His performance in the second innings against Essex was also very important. To be honest, it seems as though some people wouldn’t be happy even if he scored a century every time he batted!
Well, it could have been a lot worse. Now we just need to bowl at the stumps and let the pitch do the rest!
Looks like a horrible pitch to bat on. Very uneven bounce.
I will gladly attend any live cricket that I'm allowed to, whether there are restrictions or not!
Maybe Norwell for Stone if he's fit and Stone needs a rest?
