Agreed. Rubbish pitch preparation by Warwickshire Birminghams.
Deliberate pitch preparation by Warwicks who thought, with our hitherto fragile batting, they could spin us out twice. Shirley they should be reported

Seems you only get done for green tops, not dust bowls!Deliberate pitch preparation by Warwicks who thought, with our hitherto fragile batting, they could spin us out twice. Shirley they should be reported
Indeed, otherwise Somerset would have had a fair few points deductions.
Agree on a routine Sussex defeat?

Just need Joyce and Wright to turn the arm and all but the wicket keeper will have had a bowl.

Joyces declaration now looking a bit premature - what sort of first innings deficit will we be looking at
Sussex 601/6d
Warwickshire 522/5 (163.0 ov)
Warwickshire trail by 79 runs with 5 wickets remaining in the 1st innings

Brown's just bowled 2 overs for 4 runs. Should clearly have opened the bowling with figures like that!
Yootha now whirling away at the other end. Anyone get the impression we're not taking it seriously?

Everyone gets a bowl then, lovely stuff. Evans reaches his 200 for the Birmingham Warwick Bears.

Declaration bowling.
Shouldn't be though. This is a disgraceful wicket and should really be reported - it's the sort of surface that will kill cricket

It's noteworthy that Warwickshire declare when Laurie Evans reaches the point where just one more run would mean him catching up with Rikki Clarke's highest score in first class cricket.
