I think there would have been more chance of our players being picked if it hadn’t been a white ball tour.

Has been awarded a 2 year central contract.

Great news!

I saw only a couple of weeks ago that he was taking up a new role as Director of Cricket at Sussex. The financial difficulties they are in must be very much un-resolved if he's had a change of heart so soon.

I did also see that Lancashire finishing second bottom was their worst ever finish! Two other counties have never finished bottom since the Championship expansion in 1895 - can anybody name them?

Surrey and Middlesex?

The moans by Kent supporters in 1911 were what probably lay behind one of the most famous Punch cartoons (of which I have a framed copy).
It's headed Two Gentlemen of Warwickshire and depicts Frank Foster talking to William Shakespeare and quoting from Henry VI part two:
"Tell Kent from me she hath lost"
To which Shakespeare responds (quoting from Henry VI part 3):
"Warwick, thou art worthy."

Love that!

Nick Friend is my favourite cricket writer. His player interviews are brilliant, the one with Bamber is especially good.

John Simpson confirmed as going to Notts.

Sorry I started a new thread, I did look to see if there was another thread but didn’t see it, my bad as the kids would say!

According to the BBC Jake Weatherald will join Warwickshire as an overseas player next season.

There’s no telling what boost this will give the players.

Next year I’d like to win the Blast!

7 bowlers with an average under 30

YOU BEARS!
Absolutely fantastic!

Craig must've calmed down an hour or so later. Yes 2014 was still a very good season

I imagine Westy must be secure now for another season unless they decide to split the red and white ball roles. This run at the end has been monumental.

Wonder what's going through Woakes' mind today...

Not sure what’s going through Woakes’ mind but he’s bowling an inspired spell so far

Who’s chopping onions?

First batting point…

Off for bad light, that wasn’t in the plan..

Dream start
