How much have we wasted bringing in a short term import, and based on his comments his wife/partner?
With flights for two people, presumably not in economy, acomodation, work permit and Covid testing to allow him to exit quarenteen after five days we've already invested/wasted about £10,000 before salary.
Hve we got value for that investment?

The innings from Sam was a positive, he looked very comfortable batting, until he was out.

Lamb did seem to be reaching for a ball that should probably have been left, but it wasn't the worst dismissal of the innings.

With the known corruption in the Franchise T20 competitions, should we be getting involved at all?

Statement from the club

I was just going on the overnight reports, Not checked for any updates this morning, Sorry!

Sibley has a broken finger so is unlikely to bat

Vihari isn't giving good value for the funds invested in him so far.

Yes, Tom Banton would have been a real asset. Him and Sam Hain opening in white ball cricket would be explosive. Decent keeper too.

Vihari would struggle to get overs in club cricket if that's his standard.

Great catch by Vihari.

The wicket, and other highlights, are on the live scores page.

Unless it's the BBC Wales commentators :-) They are dreadful.

I do like the high angle shot they use that shows the action around the square after a shot is played.

Wilford & Bracegirdle are two of the best BBC local commentators.

Very impressive pre-game presentation from Nott's, they haven't listed the Warwickshire team though.

I think he played most of 2019 (?) as an opening batsman.
They'd have had an exception top 4 if all of Lamb, Pollock, Stone & Tom Banton played in the same game.

Stone in for Miles.

Lamb has to play so Hain or Yates to drop out, probably Yates.

Former Warwickshire captain Heath Streak has been given an eight year ban.

Sadly the criminals behind this are still able to carry on their activities, and further proof that T20 leagues are affected by match fixing and other corrupt activities.

Olly Stone actually opened the batting in the second innings, he has done so, with Pollock, several times for Barnt Green.
A good 50 from Ethan Brookes, plus Bethell and Roshan have got started.
Overall a disappointing game.

The best thing people who like cricket can do is just totally ignore the competition.

Looks a "lively" wicket, with 15 wickets down before tea.
