We need to bat until tea to get the draw, any earlier than that is dodgy territory.

50 for the skipper, well played sir. As previously mentioned, a cheeky declaration 220 ahead might be in order?

248 lead - only 50 or so overs left - Shirley enough?

Not sure that Adams is necessarily the answer, has presided over some very expensive under achievers at Surrey plus their various off pitch issues. What about Peter Moores?

I'm assuming that, a, there were not too many demons in the pitch, b, we didn't rate our chances of spinning them out, and c, it was only Warwickshire that could have won this if we had set a target. Therefore we batted out for the boredraw. I think the Tykes are home and hosed but I expect a right battle with Durham ahead as they could just catch them. As for Surrey, they dumped Grizzly and slotted Stewart in but there hasn't been a noticeable change in results.

Only mentioned him because he appears to be between jobs at the moment. Would Peter Moores swap the Lancs job for ours...I'm not sure he would.
Anyway it's irrelevant at the moment.

Not really, I would describe this season as okay, we've done well in the championship (will finish top 3 and still have an outside chance of winning it), finished 3rd in our group in the pro40, and the T20 I admit was a disaster but you'll normally do badly in one of the comps, it's very hard to be a contender in all 3.
Robbo has been a superb coach and has won many trophies, including the county championship back to back, a trophy which before 2003 we had never won in our loooong history.

Yeah, like Surrey really set the cricket world alight, especially as Grizz had at least 3 times Robbos budget.
Robbo is the most successful coach in the country, why would we want Grizz who has a CV that says sacked at Surrey
We are bolloxed without Monty.
He may have not got many wickets this season, but he closed up an end so that the seamers could rotate.
Will Beer is superb in one day cricket, but in CC he cannot contain like Monty could.
There was only two results possible today, draw or Warks win.
As it stands, we could beat Durham twice and Yorks at home and win the CC, so every point in this game, was vital, and we got three for the draw.
We are 29 pts behind Yorks and 23.5 pts behind Durham. Yorks play us Middlesex and Surrey, Durham play us twice and Notts, so all to play forand those 3 pts could be crucial.
If Robbo got sacked, as some are calling for on here, then my membership with SCCC would end
if so Here Here !
