Up to a point but three of our bowlers were way too expensive. Why do we persist with Wood? Never really understood this. Doesn't get many wickets and inevitably gets tonked, Howells looks like a poor acquisition, bowls rubbish and doesn't score many.

127 all out. Much changed scenario today, unless of course we get bowled out for under 40. Wicket is a bit green on top apparently.

Notts beginning to build a total again after we had them at 40-4. We need to stop bowling bad balls first and foremost, lets all the pressure off.

Vince played irresponsibly and eventually nicked one behind. Mind you he must be regally hacked off by our performance yesterday afternoon. We should have dismissed them for about a hundred and started to bat in quite favourable conditions, instead they made 235 and we bat in the morning. A schoolboy could have caught the one Middleton dropped, just unprofessional everywhere this season.

Poor start to our innings, Orr went to his third ball and Organ isn't a first division cricketer. We surely must have better than he somewhere in our system. Vince riding his luck so far, hope it lasts.

Don't know, they just look clueless at about everything. If we were a bit sharper we'd probably be 2 up.

How poor are West Brom ! Should win this fairly comfortably.

Once again poor catching has shifted us from an excellent position to one which might become difficult if there's anything in the pitch for their seamers tomorrow morning. We've gifted them 80-100 runs again. Middleton dropped a sitter and the bloke went on to score about 90.

Poor catching since lunch has let them off the hook. 3 drops, last one was pretty easy by the look of it.

Won the toss, chose to field, 4 seamers, no Gubbins.

Well, i'd probably not go that far, doubt he'll last long though, too frail by far.

Neither of these two sides looks anywhere near good enough to dispute the PL next season. So, they'd have to recrute massively or go yo-yo.

It's just a total borefest. Matches like this one are no advert for 4 day cricket.

Abbas must have some sort of niggle I suppose no one in their right mind would choose Wheal over Abbas. The Turner situation is just incomprehensible.

If you're good enough you're old enough, might not be the case here though. Not much difference really, our "openers" have looked iffy against good bowling for years now. I'd agree with the above comment about Vince though, didn't have a great winter, running here there and everywhere after the green folding, looks dodgy every time he gets bogged down a bit.

Inoffensive bowling. Fuller and Wheal, well it's just straight up and down most of the time. No lift, no swing, nada, always a ball somewhere in each over just begging to be hit. Abbas bowls nice stuff, but it's not going to do much against entrenched batsman like Burns, just keeps the runs down from his end. Compared to class acts like Worrall, it's second rate, even pretty rubbish. Against good sides in the Championship, we've become sort of second rate.

Oh FFS when are we going to get some decent openers? Capable of seeing off the new ball against decent seamers, just like openers are supposed to do.

We are just proving once again that against quality quicks we are lamentably bad at batting. Prest gone first ball. Never mind, we'll probably make about 120 and our seamers will plug away all day whilst Surrey make 500.

Two down already again. Pity, Orr looked pretty handy before he got it all wrong and gave up an easy catch. Middleton got a good ball that was too quick for him.

I don't know about that. I watched the Leeds game yesterday and I'd fancy our chances against them in the play-offs, they defend badly and Meslier seems to have gone backwards this season. Don't know enough about Ipswich to make any sort of prediction in a game against them.

Oh drat, Orr gone already, lbw for not many.

JUst the one bowling bonus point again. That makes two from two home games. Wouldn't think that it's happened very often before. Prest came on and got a wicket in his first over, since gthen Warks jogging along steadily with no further loss. We'll see what Hammond-Dalby does on this wicket later on.

Nothing different this morning, bowling is a bit of an embaressment really. It's literally nothing at all, the seamers are plugging away to no avail but Dawson is just getting tonked.

I see us being somewhere between 5th and tenth.

Bit of both really. The bowling is poor in the main but it's a slow wicket. 2 ball changes so far, one other out but it was a no ball. The Warks batters are doing whatever they please, couple of free hits per over.
