Agree entirely with Meashambear, Hain, Burgess and OHD aside the team has just not performed in the slightest this season, to frankly embarrassing levels. I would hope a number of them are looking in the mirror and having serious words with themselves, but I imagine so long as the wages are being deposited into their accounts, they'll be happy enough.

Now let's hope our openers can get us off to a good start and we can build a nice first innings lead
10/1 already
Brilliance from OHD once more. I despair with the rest of our attack
6 wickets down now so we finally have a chance of scoring some runs with Burgess and McAndrew at the crease
Top order doing sterling work again.
Be relying on Burgess and the tail again to avoid an innings defeat.
Christ, we were 70/1 last I looked, how have we ended up 118/7?!
This season has been one to forget so far.
Great watch last night thanks to Hose and Benjamin primarily. So many deficiencies in our side still though, our two 'overseas' players continue to fail to impress, watching Brathwaite send down those three wides in a row last night summed it up, and Stirling, after finally making it past the first over, charges Sanderson's first delivery, just utter nonsense.
Yates isn't up to it in this format, nor is Miles on the bowling front. If we are to have any hope of doing anything in the latter stages we are completely reliant upon Hain, Hose, Davies (whose innings was brilliant last night) and Benjamin. We are carrying 3/4 players at the minute.
Really unimpressed so far. Aside from his first game heroics, he has been utterly awful.
Another wonderful first day so far.
Can we beg Pop Welch to come back now pls?
Really not a great start with the ball.
When you see Surrey lining up with Kemar Roach...this signing is hardly inspiring.
Lamb fails yet again.
Fairly incredible this, really. To win the County Championship and then to utterly decimate your closest rivals in such a manner (result not guaranteed I know) is quite astounding.
CHAMPIONS!
Brilliant day lads, absolutely sensational stuff to seal it.
GOT HIM! NEXT BALL!!
If we win this match, it could be thanks to me.
This pair hanging around here...
GOT HIM!
No repeat of the headingley heroics for Leach. Woakes is a sexual icon
Didn't want tea to arrive really, clouds in Aldridge are extremely grey as I look out of the office window.
Anyone in the ground able to confirm how it looks there?
