Hamza Sheikh, who has been in really good form, got out trying to reverse-sweep the spinner. He just didn't need to play that shot.

Barnard was beside himself when he realised he'd thrown his wicket away with a second consecutive hundred there for the taking.

We are at the tail end of the season and yet again the same old problems are evident. We have changed virtually the whole coaching staff and on the pitch nothing seems to have changed. With the money that they have and the facilities at Edgbaston we should be doing consistently better than we do but it’s all going to be ok because we are demolishing stands to build a hotel and new stands that doesn’t increase the ground capacity.

It’s so frustrating being a Bears fan at times, it feels like domestic cricket is low down their list of priorities.

Lategan has hit the ground running, looking forward to seeing him over the next season or so. Cullen I assumed was being moved on because he never seemed to get a game but now he’s signed his contract and is playing I’d like to see him given the gloves red ball and Roderick just bat.  Shahzad takes wickets, seems to go at 6 an over but has the golden ball…particularly yesterday, his spell effectively ended the game

Thanks Gareth, with relegation coming, hopefully this three will take div 2 by storm. No doubts getting picked off by other counties but at least we will have a bit of fun along the way.

Said to my wife, will be interesting to see how the Bears fuck it up from here.

It really wasn't.

Yep, quite an achievement to lose a game when the other lot need 39 runs off the last three overs with six wickets down.

Fair play to Dixon though -an incredible scoring rate!
