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.

As well as confirming Stone's injury, there are a few clues here about the team:

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.

Those braving the heat can hear Trotty and Neil Smith tomorrow lunchtime:

I think the Club deserve a little praise for staging a magnificent Finals Day - especially Gary Barwell for yet another excellent pitch, a true surface with a bit of lift and carry plus a hint of spin.
Only negative - that wretched scoreboard that freezes at key moments. Maybe they should try a large blackboard with hooks and pieces of tin with numbers on.

It's not good news for most of our bowlers as Farbrace sets out plans for next year:

I don't think that the Bears trio did much to enhance their international credentials for England Lions against South Africa today - Jake Lintott 10 overs, 0-89; Sam Hain 0; Adam Hose 4.

A good win and some excellent performances from Ethan Brookes and Jacob Bethell:

Just announced that the Club have signed India international all-rounder Krunal Pandya for the Royal London campaign.

A big game coming up:

More of the same as far as team news is concerned:

I note that, apart from the box with information about tickets, the word "Birmingham" seems to be expunged from the preview.

Looks like more of the same:

Olly Stone back in the squad:

Having all week predicted terrible weather for today, the Met Office are not so sure now.

Good to note in the "On the brink" section that Alex Davies needs just 57 more for 2,000 T20 runs.
Maybe by the end of next season?

Has anyone noticed that, on the Club site, the Birmingham Bears seem to have morphed into (just) The Bears?

Sad to hear of the death of yet another Aussie legend - and this one was born in Birmingham:

One change to the squad - McAndrew in for Norwell:

Might Craig Miles get into the team ahead of Henry Brookes?
