« Warwickshire power on | Main | Alphonso climbs the pavilion steps »
Lunch: Warwickshire 225 for 7. Loudon 54, Thomas 6.
Warwickshire continue to pile on the pressure. They now lead by 20 runs. Over lunch, Tim Ambrose is pondering when to declare.
Lancashire started to look distinctly ragged towards the end of the morning session. Heads began to drop, not least when Thomas clipped a single to fine-leg to take the lead to a commanding 15.

Warwickshire once bowled out Hampshire for 15. But they still lost.

Mark Greatbatch is the only player ever to score 28 in both innings of his debut in first-class cricket.

Dear Brian,
Spookily, Greatbatch's average in 84 one-day internationals for New Zealand was 28.28.

If Warwickshire are all out for 300, and Alphonso rattles through Lancashire to dismiss them for 95, that would be quite exciting.

Maybe Warwickshire could sign some players from Bangkok.

I didn't think the fans at the forum were tough enough. It should have been made absolute torture for the management.

Let's hope Walsall don't give you another relegation to cover, Brian.

28 wasn't a very good number for Mark Greatbatch. In his 28th Test match, New Zealand were flattened by an innings and 222 runs by Australia, which was an even bigger margin of defeat than that suffered by Warwickshire at Scarborough.

Mark Greatbatch got 28 bruises during his stint at short-leg at Hove.

I bet the seagulls got him 28 times too.
