****Warwickshire v Sussex, Edgbaston, 20-23 July 2011, LVD1**** (merged)

[Pavilionaire]

Warwickshire back on an even keel, first batting point in the bag with the promise of plenty more tomorrow.

Ambrose has masterfully ground our bowlers down with his watchful innings and will now exploit their tiredness in this final hour or so. An Ambrose ton and 350 plus for the Bears before close is inevitable.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

I'm amazed they've had so much play. Its poured all day here.

 

[Pavilionaire]

More reverse psychology - merciful rain!

As for the story about Sussex being linked with Ricky Clarke, his performance today showed he'd slot right in to our side.

Extraordinary scenes in the Roses match:

Lancs 328 all out
Yorks 199/9

but...

Yorks WERE 45/8 and their 9th wicket (their 9th and 10th batsmen!) added over 150, until Sidebottom was trapped a couple of mins ago!

Warwickshire put on 155 for their ninth wicket with batsmen 9 & 10.
