***Warwickshire v Sussex, Edgbaston, 13-16 April, LCCC Div 1***

[Shropshire Seagull]

These lads need to be told that the championship is a marathon not a sprint and winning their first two games can only lead to fade and fatigue later in the season. All the other top sides are being far more cautious by drawing their early games.

333/3, well that's put the mockers on the rest of the season. Double 333 and you get 666, the devils number. Oh well, it was fun while it lasted.

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Bowling looking strong, but only on wickets that lend a hand.

Weight of runs spread amongst only a few batsmen.

Great start but we may not be as robust as we appear to be.

 

[Pavilionaire]

This has to be a new low for The Bears. A crashing defeat that will reverberate around the suburbs of Selly Oak, Perry Barr and Digbeth. Dougie Brown better get his tin hat, it wasn't like this with Ashley Giles in charge back in the day.

You have forgotten that we don't have a spin bowler worth the name either.

 

[Pevenseagull]

2 games in and our lower order are woefully short of competitive batting

SORT IT OUT ROBBO

 

[Hiney]

Very GREEDY by the top order.

This is bad news for the rest of the season.

Undercooked.

Poor

 

[mjking73]

Can't believe we've done "an ARSENAL" by topping the league so early. Relegation scrap it is then and a jammy run to the T20 blast final!

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

Another very impressive display. A pal who is well acquainted with Scottish cricket (he reports for a few of the local papers up here) tells me that Matt Macon is one of the best new emerging talents that the Scottish Cricketing cogniscente have seen play for Scotland since the days of Dougie Brown. Brighton born I believe with a Scottish parent.

[Paul Reids Sock]

Enjoy the win lads - it will be the last this season you IDIOTS

Well done burning yourselves out in two games

 

[Tony Towner's Fridge]

You have forgotten that we don't have a spin bowler worth the name either.

Nonsense! We have one called 'Beer'. If that isn't worth the name then what is?

I assume this result is a joke, 15 days too late. Am very impressed that Sussex organised that absolutely everyone was in on it.

 

[Eeyore]

Sussex threw that match away, the result was an embarrassment. Losing three wickets on a worn surface, chasing a paltry score like that.

Joyce out.

 

[Taybha]

Thats Robbo gone to take over england then , anybody who can mastermind doddle victories over the cricketing giants of middlesex and warwickshire must be the man for the job. Susskent will miss you Robbo good luck .

 

[Pavilionaire]

The table is upside down.

 

[The Oldman]

The usual flukey start to the season. It's relegation I tell thee.

 

[Phil B]

Love the phrase " I tell thee" if done with a Yorkshire accent when married with your avatar.

Only bettered by his brilliant casting as a Roman Centurion at the crucifixion and saying in an American drawl " He surely was the son of God !"

 

[Surf's Up]

I'm telling you, two swallows do not a summer make.

 

[hans kraay fan club]

Given how the four innings panned out, do you think Warwickshire just MIGHT regret the decision to bat first?

 

[Mackenzie]

were win.

How strange.
