We should still win this, probably within 2 sessions, maybe by lunch if we get an early wicket, but it's nice to see a bit more resistance. Need more Cooks and Elgars Yes really hasn't been a great series. The matches are too one sided. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chappy Posted July 31, 2017 Share Posted July 31, 2017 (edited) Fantastic end to the match. I was listening on TMS and sad to say I jumped out of my chair and made the review sign as they described it being given not out Great prank played on Boycott today too Edited July 31, 2017 by chappy 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Oh yes Agnew really wound him up there Hilarious! Thinking about the players that played in that 1970 England v rest of the world series. There were so many of the greats of all time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Avfc96 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Patel and Thomason both brilliant with the ball again. Have to wonder whether it's time for Bell to step down from the T20 side though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 (edited) Yes good stuff from young Thomason at the end and loved the interview. I know he didn't get many tonight but like the look of Hose. Feel more positive about the club with some younger players in the team. Edited August 1, 2017 by PaulC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, the introduction of the Pollock, Thomason, Mellor and now Hose seems to have given the whole team a new lease of life. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turvontour Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Patel's t20 bowling figures must be among the best around over the last few years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Yes he can adapt his bowling to different situations. He bowls quicker than is the norm for most off spinners. I have always wondered why he did so poorly at international level. His record in county cricket is miles better than Moeen's but his record in international cricket is vastly inferior. I think Warwickshire have been a great fit for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Sibley to join Warwickshire from Surrey at the start of next season. A very good signing for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) The Clarke and Sibley switch is going ahead straight away it seems, both joining on loan. Always liked Clarke, shame he didn't get it together in his late-20s, probably should've played a lot more international cricket really.

PaulC Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) Yes both sign on loan for the rest of the season. Great news for us! Woakes is back as well. Looking more promising! Clarke has done well for us but always thought he was a little short of test match quality but the best slip fielder I have ever seen. He was only 26 when we signed him and he had Giles to help him develop so just wasnt good enough for England.

Milfner Posted August 3, 2017 Author Share Posted August 3, 2017 Christ, didn't realise he'd been here 8 years already! Great slip fielder as you said, seven in one innings against Lancs a few years back IIRC. Woakes being back is great, how much will we see of him though? Will England want him back ASAP is the question. Could do with him playing the rest of the Championship season for us really, even if we are essentially down already.

PaulC Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 (edited) He'll be back for the west indies series as Anderson may be rested for that. Nearer 9 with Clarke. I remember being down at Chelmsford and talking to Nick Knight about him and that was when we were last in div 2. No he has done very well for us! its time to move on though and I'm quite excited about this Sibley signing. Any Surrey fans on here have an opinion on him? Porterfield next to leave?

Porterfield next to leave? got a double hundred against Yorkshire in his second or third match but never really pushed on and fulfilled the potential , seemed he wanted written guarantees that Surrey wouldn't give him but Warks having less talent on show were prepared to give him strange really as Sangakkara is retiring this year and you'd think Surrey would have kept Sibley for the top order , unless they think they can get Sangakkara to commit for one more year , he's been bang on form this season , arguably the best batsman in the county this season (well not really any argument in it tbh) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Yes remember Kumar at Warwickshire way back in 2007, he's class. Funny we had Dale Steyn and Kumar Sangakkara that year but still got double relegation. Championship and one day league Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
