Lousy record at the QF stage of this comp, not sure how we get over this mental block.

It could just be that the teams in the South division are much better than the North.

Good point. We usually steam roller the North but there's a lot of very weak sides in there.

There may be something in that. However, player for player, Warwickshire look a lot stronger than Gloucestershire. Its a lack of character

Went to Edgbaston earlier and witnessed another poor knock-out stage performance by the Bears.  They were so passive in the first 6 overs of Gloucester's innings and seemed content to let them go along at 10 an over.  To be fair, they bowled and fielded well after that and 138 looked a very achievable score.

They just went out though and had absolutely no momentum in the powerplay and the batsmen always seemed under pressure.  I do think the batting line up was light and they surely could have sacrificed a bowler for another top order batsman.   

Great crowd though and enjoyable evening apart from the result.

10 off the first ball set the tone. Completely bottled it again.

Weak mentality in that team. Pathetic effort at a run chase.

Ten off the first ball?!

How did that happen?

No ball that went to the boundary first ball and then a 4 off the subsequent free hit.

Felt like we barely scored from our opening 3 overs, so half of the Powerppay wasted.

We’ve lost an astonishing amount of wickets for very few runs between the end of the first innings and this second innings.

A comment on the Test Match, I presume?

Seems plenty of rain and cloudy weather predicted, I can see it being a draw.
