A contact at New Road advises that Garrett was in the original 12, and that Woakes was "resting" after his 6 overs!
Davies and Burgess are both mid to late 20's, Benjamin is 22, Smith is 16, if he continues to develop, he'd only be about 20/21 when Burgess or Davies are nearing the end of their careers.
Therefore it would be sensible, and a wise investment, to keep links with him.
I thought Jacob Bethell batted well in trying to rebuild the innings.
Also Kai Smith looked useful with the gloves, and is definately worth developing for the future.
A good move for Chris, hopefully he will concentrate on his role with Warwickshire and not become a franchise cricket mercanry.
As a club we should be given some loyalty after giving him the opportunity to play professionally.
there was more spam than at a Monty Python convention :-)
My contact at New Road has confirmed it's Kai Smith from the UAE.
Possibly he's out there as his parents work there? I remember Ethan Holmes, who played at Barnt Green and a few games for Worcs 2nds who is now the Hampshire Physio had a similar background.
It's probably safe to assume Dougie Brown advised the club about Kai Smith.
Michael Booth is a 20 year old fast bowler, who is studying at Durham Uni, and has played for Kwazuly Natel Indlands in South African Domestic T20
The keeper does look very young.
Hopefully Lamb does play on Friday, he was the best batsman in the 50 over competition.
Jacob Bethall is captain.
The live stream is good, just silent as no effects mic sound.

The live stream of the game is also accessable through that link
I think Ian Bell, Jonathan Trott, and even many years ago Denis Amiss played for the second team after a test match.
He needs time in the middle, to regain his confidence, and where better than at New Road?
I see that Burns, with five test ducks this season, but a Surrey player, retains his place!
Looks like Dom sibley will be back with Warwicks for the rest of the season. However, despite 5, yes 5, ducks this year, Burns, a Surrey player, is likely to remain in the side.
Great to hear Jeremy Coney on the commentary. A wonderful voice and great knowledge of the game.
A great delivery to get Pollock, but a good opening partnership.
Yes & Yes!
It is now & it was a really good ball that got Pollock :-(
