Oh dear. It's going to be a long day.

 

[Marxo]

Seems he has a 'knock' on his knee.

 

[Rodney Thomas]

Oh dear. It's going to be a long day.

Looking at our bowling attack I can't help but think the same!

 

[sten_super]

Our (Warks) top order batting has looked pretty shithouse so far this season, although Bell and Trott coming in for Troughton and Javid strengthen that considerably. The big miss is Rikki Clarke, who has been generally excellent (with bat, ball and slip catching) for the past couple of years; Milne replaces him, who I must confess I know very little about. Boyd is fit again and in for Hannon-Dalby, who despite his heroics in the last match with the bat was crap with the ball, so that's a definite upgrade.

 

[Marshy]

Were super shit, Warks will destroy us

 

[hans kraay fan club]

No Goff = no hope.

 

[brightonmark1234]

tim ambrose is bound to get runs as he use to play for sussex

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Without The Goff our attack looks much weaker. He may not have got all the wickets but his accuracy and pace meant other bowlers picked up wickets as the batsmen tried to score runs at the 'easier' end.

Why have warwickshire not declared yet ? Something fishy going on here

Obvious match-fixing and an investigation is currently underway into unusual betting patterns. Asian bookmakers with links to the West Midlands have apparently been taking huge bets all morning on this lasting into a second day...

Warks 50 for 0

Genuinely ominous given their line-up and the absence of Mags. Monty will do a great holding job but wickets with the new conker were important this morning.

Big test for our boys - expect them to battle hard and make themselves tough to beat (after losing the toss have to hope the pitch is built to last).

73/1 Anyon gets Porterfield

 

[vegster]

Trott dropped on 1 , thats it.. we are stuffed, Trott 225 n.o. by the close.

 

[brightonmark1234]

115 for 1 and come on sussex need a couple more wickets and we are missing Magofffin

 

[Krusty]

125-1 (45 overs)

Trott 10 from 47 balls.

YHWH this is TEDIOUS.

 

[Moshe Gariani]

Lancashire have reached 1229 against Glamorgan and are predictably making a farce of Division Two.

 

[1901Phil]

Trott now 15 from 60 balls
