They'd do better to replace the lot of them.
All useless. Should never have let Giddins leave. And then they tried to replace him with Betts, what a roaring success that was.
I agree Warwick have nevwer had a good Domestic bowler since Small

I'm presuming you mean English bowler!
Donald, Drakes and Waqar Younis weren't bad!
For that matter, neither was Giddins.

They got it wrong then.

Streak is there from mid-June through to August (as I've said before) and Pretorius for the rest of the time.

A contract between two rival sides

Worcester have only 18 players

Warwickshire have 30

Some will not get into Warwick 2nd xi

If you want to see Heath then yes.
I might take advantage of an offer for 2 free tickets per applicant by an employee of the local water plant, who obviously has connections to Warwickshire.

Is this the fourth time you've whined about this? Are you able to post anything different?

Some counties are ridiculously over-staffed, it is a perfectly valid point.
30 players is ridiculous. How much money is wasted. Why not just have 13 or 14 pros and some back-up players on match-by-match contracts?
It's been discussed time and again, there are too many players by far on the circuit, and far, far too much money being shelled-out that would be better spent on other things. And it causes this "closed-shop" approach to county cricket that plenty see as a problem. Never tried to get into top-level cricket myself so I'm not brilliantly placed to comment.

Warwick have 28 pros and 3-4 on Second Xi contracts, other counties never have this figure but it does not matter really


it only a Matter of 33 and a Half days away

Chris, you're beginning to sound like a broken record.

So what if they have that many players - at the end of the day, it's their money.
