Why are Warwickshire called Birmingham?
It's just the name for the 20/20 team, commercialism.
Chopra set the tone as his his wont. Does not understand the concept of an inswinger apparently. 53 for 4 off 12 probably bmeans the jig is up. On the plus side, I can head off to VP earlier than expected.
Evans in too late. We should've risked the possibility of being all out for seventy to give us a chance of a decent total. As it is, we've got a score which, while not actually embarassing, is unlikely to give us much hope.
Need early wickets to have a prayer.
Yeah what a waste holding back Evans and Woakes didn't even get on the park - Clarke and Javid should have just thrown their wickets away earlier
I was going to listen to the Bears game on the drive up but the first voice I heard after tuning in was Daggers.
that sent me straight back to the music
Watched a bit of the final, with all the stupid sound effects, music and gimmicks it's more like a pantomime than a game of cricket.
