Warwickshire accelerating fast now 144 ahead

 

[xgorton]

157 ahead with 9 wicket's left at close of play.

 

[Corky]

Warks will slog out 300 in no time and have 70+ overs to bowl them out. If it is that good a wicket still there is hope.

What on earth have Somerset been bowling ? Dross.

Even Sibley had a strike rate around 70 must be like a road!

Am i right in thinking that a draw gives us the title?

Yes

 

[KS55]

Yes

Thanks. Must say the system this year has confused me. I understand it is being abandoned for next year in favour of two divisions.

Yeah. Why were there no sixes? Why didn't such-and0such score 45 off 17 balls? Why was there no music? Why weren't there hordes of seven-year-olds leaping up and down waving cards with "4" or "6" on them? Why wasn't it over in two hours? Why did they not wear brightly-coloured pyjamas? Why were fieldsmen clustered round the bat instead of dotted round the boundary? Why were their bowlers trying to get wickets instead of bowling wide to try and get a dot ball? No one seemed to be playing silly shots like scoops.
I just don't understand this game.

I couldn't work out the score without the dynamically reducing bright chevron bars taking up a quarter of each side of the screen. And what does "1 run behind" mean?

I know. It's so confusing for youngsters and their mums.

20 overs at 5 an over then declare is my prediction. 275 lead with 70 overs to go?

the rate they'r going they'll be declaring with a 300 run lead and 75 ish overs to bowl at them i reckon

Yes it's going well for them, the benefit of batting with freedom because they hadn't lost many wickets last night. I have them big favourites now especially as it looks like Somerset are a batter down after Azhar Ali's injury.

 

[Corky]

Crash band wallop now, assuming about 81 overs left from there score. Could declare at 12pm at this rare 300 ahead with 72 left based on 16 an hour.
