I wonder if the club has just concentrated on commerce and ground developments, and lost a bit of focus on actually playing cricket. I don't think they were ever likely to defend the title, but getting relegated is a bit of a shock (if it happens) compared to what I thought would happen - maybe 4th or 5th. It's even worse being a Sussex fan. I can't believe how many players come and go mid-season in county cricket these days. They should have some sort of transfer window like in football. I genuinely have no idea how many players Sussex have picked this year, the overseas must be nearly in double figures, we even played a Greece international for a few weeks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They've raided my team for a couple of players (Moeen Ali and Ed Barnard) Should be two very good signings for them, especially Barnard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate the constant movement of players now, going on loan for one game or teams having 4 or 5 overseas players in a year across the formats.

Milfner Posted September 15, 2022 Author Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Bears chasing 143 off the last 24 with 7 wickets left for what would be a huge win... EDIT: And as I sent that, Will Rhodes gets bowled ffs. Probably settle for a draw now. EDIT again: two wickets in three balls Edited September 15, 2022 by Milfner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh29 Posted September 20, 2022 Share Posted September 20, 2022 Bonkers day in the Championship today Hampshire got Kent out for 165 , before being bowled all out for 57 Lancashire were bowled out for 131 , skittled out Essex for 107 .. and are currently 12 for 6 in their second Innings ! I think a Surrey win or draw and Hampshire defeat means Surrey are Champions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyh29 Posted September 22, 2022 Share Posted September 22, 2022 I think following that win , that Surrey are back where they belong as Champions 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted September 22, 2022 Author Share Posted September 22, 2022 And at the other end of the table... Warwicks lose to winless Gloucestershire so it's very, very likely we'll be playing in the second tier next year. An absolutely pathetic season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a couple of players of little old Worcs, and we might be replacing you in the top division! I'm assuming its 3 to get promoted still? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It measures how many runs per balls faced. A strike rate of 125 is what they would score based on 100 balls faced.

sidcow Posted September 28, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2022 Looks like Warwickshire are going to get relegated because of yesterdays crap weather, lost way too much play so had to declare when only 4 wickets down.

sidcow Posted September 29, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted September 29, 2022 Warwickshire have tried to accelerate this morning to enable at least a chance of some kind of victory but instead the wickets have just tumbled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
