Important game this one and a true test about where we stand. The forecast looks ok for the four days but there could be some rain about on wednesday. Will we go into the game with two spinners! I dont think we should.
Possible side
Westwood
Frost
Bell
Trott
Troughton
Ambrose
Piolet
Woakes
Carter
Tahir
Patel

Shouldnt really need a rest after - if he bowls his stint today - 16 overs in the competition. Think Clarke is still a while away according to Brian.

Mentally not physically. I dont want him to play if hes not mentally prepared for this game.

Yeah I dont think you could call him back for this game. It might be hard for him to get back into the game.

Premier Inn within 3 miles, I believe.
Holiday Inn near New Street Station.
Novotel is about 2 miles away from ground.
Buses check http://www.travelwm.co.uk/

Such a relief to have real cricket to talk about again!
Great bowling display by our lads so far!

Real ?
Anyway nice to see we have 4 wickets - an unusaly early bowling point - we had to wait to the 4th day a couple of weeks ago against Notts :thumbup: I hope to make it to Thursdays play.

I think Jon meant "proper" cricket WB.I've just returned from watching the first two sessions & yes it was great to see players in whites again as I didn't make the Notts game.
Thought we bowled well & stuck to our task well.All the bowlers did their jobs.I did wonder why Botha didn't have a bowl until just before tea but we all have our opinions don't we!Really enjoyed it.I may go back for more on Thursday. :001_smile:
