**Official** County Cricket 2016

[Howe_zat]

Foakes doing his bit for the dream English middle-order we've all been waiting for.

Indeed, also relevant to that is him keeping wicket ahead of Davies who was supposed to be international standard with the gloves

 

[grecian]

Oh gawd Batty doing well will just get idiots talking about picking him for England

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Surrendering Meakly.

 

[Scaly piscine]

Hmm still kinda want Yorkshi*e to win particularly after seeing Batty's dickheadish celebration earlier. Anything could happen with these bowlers though.

 

[grecian]

Can't really want Yorkshire to win, because they've had all the decisions, and Howe_Zat may die from fapping if Bres took them home.

 

[Viscount Tom]

Given the result, do we banish Batty on pain of death from Yorkshire?

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could go all Scaly and go on about losing to a side containing Meaker and Dernbach but I won't. Well played Surrey, better side on the day.

Makes you appreciate how good the Warwickshire side in the mid 90's that did the treble were when you see Yorkshire come up short in a couple of semis.

thank you for looking out for my well being.

It seems in this isolated case we did not have quite enough Bres to overcome the challenge.

 

[weldone]

fantastic show from Surrey - showed they can win without Sanga's contribution

 

[The_roc]

If Somerset finished top of the South group, how do Warwickshire get the home draw?

 

[91Jmay]

Does seem odd doesn't it. Are the semi final venues predetermined or something?

 

[theegyptian]

Somerset junk medium pace getting milked around. Would have been better off playing leach instead of groenewald going on what I've seen. Vdm the only bowler to have challenged the oppo.

 

[grecian]

Bell not really damaging us that much really, modern cricket you only lose 2 wickets at this stage you should be going at more than this. Still probably going to be a winning score, but not unreachable.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah this is really strange batting. Anything less than 290 would be disappointing with the platform but we won't get there.

Didn't understand why Ambrose came out ahead of a a hitter and now he is injured just needs to slog.

 

[theegyptian]

It's standard Warwickshire fare though isn't. They'll get to an above average score 8/10 times with their lineup at Edgbaston and that'll win you the game nearly every time. They'll never get massive scores and at places like Taunton, chelmsford and the like they won't quite have the big hitters to make use of the smaller grounds but at Edgbaston where it'll turn a bit as well with the largish outfield 270/280 will win them the game nearly every time.

I'd be very surprised if they lose from here Warwickshire.

 

[91Jmay]

Still doesn't mean we had to let Ambrose poke around for 20 balls with Loz and Clarke still to come. 280 absolute minimum required

 

[Scaly piscine]

Yea should really be getting 300 from that platform. 3 boundaries since the 33rd over, two of them from the new bat.

 

[91Jmay]

Yeah, really bad match awareness to not send Evans in earlier

 

[91Jmay]

Brilliantly from Ronnie. Exactly what we needed as innings was drifting. Get 290 now

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Not seen much but I guess the pitch is hard to time the ball well on seeing as the score is what it is.
