Just to add a bit more from Jack Bannister's Club history - and he actually played in the match.
Apparently, the Lancashire players refused to attend the Man of the Match ceremony (possibly because M.J.K. was to be given the award). The Warwickshire players decided to have their victory drink on the journey back rather than linger at the ground.
Lancashire had scored 70 off nine overs before tea (yes, they used to have a tea interval part way through a one-day innings) and it was on the resumption that M.J.K. put eight of his nine fielders on the boundary.
The obvious response would have been to push for lots of ones and twos. But it was the early days of one day cricket and Lancs opener David Green apparently said: "one day cricket is about hitting boundaries, not running up and down the pitch."

I can't comment on what they thought of Davies within the dressing room. But the fans had a few things to say about him on the Lancashire cricket forum (Redrosefans). Admittedly, this was mainly after they knew he was leaving, but comments include:

• he has a fiery temper
• he has anger issues, little man syndrome
  -a little narky runt (!)
• a dirty rat
• a horrible little man
• a horrible little rat
  And I thought we were a bit outspoken here sometimes!

Warwickshire scored 294-7 off their 60 overs, which was a massive total in those days. Lancashire initially made a good effort to chase the runs so Mike (M.J.K.) Smith set defensive fields. There were no fielding restrictions so he could have 9 men on the boundary if he wanted. The crowd didn't like it and the Lancashire wicket keeper, Geoff Clayton, protested first by appealing against the light and then blocking, so that he scored 19 in 19 overs. He was not out at the end, with Lancashire 209-7.
Clayton was dropped by Lancashire and not re-engaged - he went to Somerset. I think Peter Marner was the other player not re-engaged but I'm not sure whether it was because of that match - there was a lot of trouble within the Club at that time.

I hope it's ok, farmerbob, that I deleted that post that went wrong!

This is probably the Matt Mason article referred to:

I seem to remember that The Hollies (the group, not the stand) had a song called King Midas in Reverse, which I hope won't turn out to be Matt Mason'e theme tune.

There's unlucky and there's this:

I agree that allowing spectators on the outfield can only be a good thing - pre-Covid, it happened all the time at Edgbaston.

Chance to Shine does its best to bring cricket to those who might otherwise have missed out on it. Lauren Young and Warwickshire's Issy Wong both came through this scheme and have played for England.

I guess this is a good move by the Club - but if they really are the first, it doesn't say much for the rest:

I've signed in hope rather than expectation.

Just wanted to give the games a mention PLUS:
My daughter has three tickets for table tennis at the NEC on Saturday 6 August (9.30-12.30) at £15 each. If anyone is interested, let me know. She is offering them
around to friends so it is a case of first come, first served.

....has been appointed coach to Afghanistan:

If the implication is that he makes a big fuss about minor injuries, I have to say that I think that is both untrue and unfair.

As well as confirming Stone's injury, there are a few clues here about the team:
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/62270204
Stone out, Woakes out, Norwell and Yates possibly but not definitely in,
No mention of Davies but I suspect that getting him out of the team is harder than getting Boris out of number 10.

He's always come across to me as a really nice guy so I feel really sorry for him that he's had such an injury-strewn career.
I wish him well with Notts.

More on Andy Umeed's contract with Somerset:
https://www.somersetcountycc.co.uk/news/first-xi/somerset-sign-andrew-umeed/
Are there any other counties that, like Somerset, are a bit fragile at the top of the order and could do with signing a solid, well-organised batter?

George Dobell reports that Olly Stone:

• has a finger injury and may be out for the rest of the season
• is going to sign for Nottinghamshire.

A good win against (to be honest) a fairly nondescript Notts team. Maybe best news - at last some runs for Rob Yates, 89 not out.

Apparently, McAndrew wasn't dropped but was ill.

The nearest comparison I can think of is Sean Pollock taking four wickets in four balls on his Bears debut - but that was a 50 over game.
OH-D must be in the running to be the most popular Warwickshire player of all time. Maybe in their day Eric Hollies and Gladstone Small were similarly admired and viewed with great affection by supporters and fans.
