Davies bingo now..........I reckon he will get 8 runs before chipping one to mid on.........he is doing his best, nearly went there.
At least the table will look familiar tonight with both Gloucs & Lancs well on their way to wins._

We play how many balls will he face before he's out.....😀
On a more serious note as we will have no chance of reaching the knock out phase Smith needs the gloves, Wylie, Jani, Ali & Taylor need to play all games (fitness permitting) & if available Simmons should also be given game time

Arrived, nice ground, well organised as ever. We could learn a lot from Notts

I dont think they restrict access around the ground like Rugby....

Simmons injured?

TV commentary is dreadful

Well, the reply is going well.

No need to look to see if Davies is out

Nope......

usual service resumed....

If Kai isnt ready do we need a keeper/batter, is Bracey available?
Maybe Malik up to 2 and Davies to 7 in the meantime

Why is Davies still opening?

I think Thompson is settling into the championship side nicely and beginning to show us what he can do with the red ball
For whatever reason his T20 form has gone and we're currently in the Garton position of 1 expensive over and can't be risked again
Given our chances of a QF place are essentially nil why not rest out of form players and play Hamzah, Che, Kai (with the gloves), Taz etc
We need to avoid taking our T20 form into the championship

Why is Thompson still in the side

Embarrassing
Davies out, Kai in
Thompson out Bamber in
Booth in for either Taz or OHD depending on the wicket

Drop davies now

Are we really having a shocker this season up to today? I don't think we are?

Agree, not perfect, still issues (need a #3, finishing teams off) but definite signs of progress

To be fair Yates has beem digging in more this year

Fantastic start.

When will Ian Westwood make the change that is overdue and drop Davies

If the management group are to retain any sense of fairness Davies gets dropped

On a different note why no match preview on the website until this morning

I enjoyed last year at Rugby and today's game but not the approach taken to spectators.
I'm entitled to my opinion as is everyone else and I'm not blind to the issues Edgbaston stadium poses and would like to see more games at out grounds facilities permitting. However having my reasoned comments labelled as "ludicrous, pointless and destructive" means I'll leave the forum to others

Enjoyed the game but don't enjoy being made to feel inferior/second class to hospitality. The only other ground that had had this affect is the self styled home of cricket (Lords rather than the actual 2025 home of cricket, Mumbai)
A perfect illustration of what's wrong with the game IMO
To be clear the stewards and other public facing staff were fine. I assume it's Rugby school who decided where we were welcome (or not)

Given we’re limited to half the ground it’s strange I’ve sat all day next to the Pavilion in the shade under a gazebo.

We were moved from the right hand side if the sightscreen, 1st thing this morning. Told apologeticly only media and VIPs to the right Spectators to the left the screen.
No one in the space we started in all day
