Metro Bank One Day Cup

[The Brian Hardie Stance]

Two tense finishes here.

Warks were coasting until Rhodes got out. Smith still there but the boundaries have dried up

I wonder how many county squads have a 19 year old who could play that innings, on the back of 21 List As and 10 Under19 ODIs and no first class experience.

Looks like Home wins in both matches unless Leicester throw it

Great win for Warks away at Edgbaston

 

[Pothas]

Done by Leicester again.

Potentially a quick turnaround for Rew and Aldridge as they are in the Somerset squad for tomorrow

Who misses out? Good luck to Leics...
I see Josh Hull misses out for Leics

Warwickshire need a Kai Smith intervention here.

Shame for Worcester but a good run with a patched up squad.

Glamorgan in the final again, Beating Warwick. Somerset have a chance for some silverware as well

Should be a good final

Didn't happen. Warwick did have a good run with another patched up squad. Kai Smith is a good prospect

Noticed that on comms, I imagine he is England eligible?

Noticed that on comms, I imagine he is England eligible?

Born to South African parents and moved here at 16 for his A-Levels.

Can't see if he qualifies for England but he said this.

“It is really exciting because playing at Lord’s, you only dream of something like that,” Smith said.

“You hope one day that you might play for England, and that one day you could play at such an historic ground"

Guess by the time he completes his current deal with Warks he'll have been here for four years, so may qualify that way.

why isnt the final in lords?

Take your pick, either:
1. A deliberate attempt by the ECB to lower the status of the competition, or
2. They don’t expect a large crowd so are using a venue with a lower capacity.

A bit of both. They only kept this competition so that the members can have something to watch
