Indeed - nail biting tension to get us in the mood for tomorrow night .
Wonderful session of cricket.

[Richard]

Thats why we're Champions !

OHD seems a better batsman than bowler 

Bell and Trott to appear for next 2 games as well

[Colhint]

Just think, we couldn't play our 2 England batsmen and were missing an opening batsman and bowler. Superb effort lads

[hilts_coolerking]

Great stuff.  Proper cricket.

[ACVilla]

Chopra's got his century. I reckon he's due an England call up soon.

Woakes deserves to be in on his batting alone.

I reckon he will eventually be a batsman who can bowl very effectively. He should be pushed up the order at Warwick.

A GREAT county player, i really hope he can push on as he seems a genuinely nice chap.

[Steve R]

It's a pity Metters doesn't seem to have progressed.

He's had a shoulder injury for 12 months - likely to miss this season after another op

That explains it then. Real shame for the lad.

[ACVilla]

Team v Sussex -

Chopra
Porterfield
Trott
Bell
Ambrose
Woakes
Evans
Milnes
Patel
Wright
Rankin

What a difference a couple of internationals can make to the line up.

Clarke out injured, anyone know where Troughton is.

Bell is down as captain.

[PGW]

Troughton has a shoulder injury which he sustained in first game of the season.

Won the toss and batting currently 54 - 0

[PGW]

Porterfield gone again...got a start and failed to turn it into a big knock
Out for 33
67 - 1

[PGW]

Lunch 83/1
Chopra 46
Trott 2

Trott had lucky escape dropped on 1 a fairly easy chance to slip.

[Rotterdam]

276-4 at stumps. Trotty 87 no.
Come Warks!

[cdbearsfan]

Could've done with scoring quicker to get the bonus points but hopefully we can get a good first innings lead, make them follow on and fist them.

[Dave Cooper please]

make them follow on and fist them.

Is that a new rule?
