Just watching the first few overs and the outfield looks awful.

When I look at some of the duffers on the batting and bowling side, you have to wonder how such a consistent performer at T20, 50-over and CC, can't even get into any first XI.

It just goes to show that The Hundread has no idea what it is doing. There are players in it who struggle to get into their own county sides and you have Sam Hain, one of the most consistent performers in county cricket in all formats, who cannot get a game. I have heard a few players names being shouted out and I cannot immediately think which county they play for. There are some mediocre players in there who perhaps made the cut because they had a good 4-over spell in a T20 that was televised.

Yes, the allrounder Lintott plays another good hand. At least this time in a winning cause.

I remember Mark Lathwell, a lovely free-flowing opener for Somerset who would have been great if the selectors had just left him alone to play county cricket for a few more years. Even his mother told the selectors to just leave him alone as he was just 21 and not really ready to play Tests. It affected him, no he never captained but trying to rush him into things just destroyed his love for the game, he was in and out of the first team, had a good return in 2001 but lost all enthusiasm for cricket and retired at 30.

Come on, who hasn't had that happen to them. I was lucky, when I fell off my smugglers cart, I was only trampled by my pet stoat Gerald.

This business of trying to win too soon by playing too many shots, is beginning to really piss me off. No one has to smash it about when you can bat the overs out in a 'normal' way but to see a losing margin like that with that many balls to spare, smacks of batsmen playing like stupid kids having a slog. With wickets in hand, 29 from 21 balls is easy but when you leave it to hope the tail can rescue you, then it is batsmen not using their heads. All the hard work done and then messed up like schoolboys.

At 61-1, this was very comfortable but now it's gone.

It might get to the point where we run out of balls, nearly 5 an over but we are scoring slowly so at some point someone is going to have to 'Go for it'. So that's what 'Poom Poom' meant, bloody hell, when those girls insisted they give me some, I was thinking it was a new perfume from YSL. Just think of all I missed out on. Grrrrrr!

I enjoyed Imran Tahir during 2010, strange that he had 1 season and had an agreement to go back to Hampshire after his time with us. Wickets, and then you would have to try and see which direction he was racing off to. This run chase isn't going too well, plenty of time, we just need to bat out the overs without doing stupid things.

Spinners, 32-2-138-7, that'll do.

Triple-wicket maiden.

If someone had mentioned to me during the 1990's, that Warwickshire would be using 4 spinners in a game of one-day cricket (Remember when we called it that), I would have asked where it was that we got them all from.

"I believe that children are our future..."

Joking apart, really good win, get the net run/rate up a bit and Taz is having fun. Also a mention to Sylvester, pity he was taken off, he was really enjoying himself and was really tidy, barely a bad ball from his 5 overs.

Yes, but I never got excited either when I took wickets - I was mainly in shock that anyone could actually get out to me.

I turned it off because of the bloke who's name I don't know. He has 'Commentary by numbers' as everything he says is contrived and obvious.

Well, I know it sounded obvious at the time but early wickets are welcome and 3 of 'em, yessssssssssssss!

Is it enough, hope Sylvester can find his radar as early wickets are needed.

Mixed reviews about Rugby but at some stage I might have to go. What a turnaround, with 4 down I was expecting another poor game but we are now in charge.
