Yorkshire v Warwickshire

[Fourteenth Eye]

A game that could have implications for Sussex.

are we thinking a draw would be a good result or a deafeat for one of them would put some daylight between us & them??

Start delayed due to rain - so far so good.

I would take one side thrashing the other limiting the loser to 2-3 points, on current form that should be Warwickshire. If we can then beat one of them at home would make it hard for whoever loses to come back.

Yorkshire have really hit form where as Warks are looking a bit pants, lets hope we can beat them as well to guarentee our survival.

:US:

Serves us right for the ridiculous flattening of Edgbaston to 'play to our strengths'. The only game we've won all season was at bloody New Road, we've lost to Durham at home and drawn the rest

Sorry, thought the 'us' and 'Edgbaston' reference would have given away the fact I'm a Warks supporter. I had the dubious honour of being born there.

Its all going wrong at the worst time for your lot, will be a bit of a tussle down in Hove from the 9th of September. Is that like a weird home game for you.

Giles has been far too negative since he took over, that's the problem. We should have plenty of money, but I suspect some of it may be being saved up for the ground development.

As soon as he came in at the start of last season, he had the pitch flattened, and we signalled our intentions by signing Boyd 'inconsistent' Rankin to lead the attack and Ian Salisbury as our spinner (basically playing as a bowling all rounder). We bored our way up last season, and then simply didn't move forward. Despite being linked with lots of exciting names (such as Hildreth and Mawan) we ended up signing only Jeetan Patel as an offspiner who can bat (and only then because Salisbury announced his retirement). There's far too much reliance on the youth team. The signing of Sreesanth now (to replace the injured Patel) shows that Giles has realised our weakness, but unfortunately it's all a bit late.
