Tea. Lancashire 76 for 2 (24 overs). Horton 45, Law 12.
Warwickshire's seamers (led by Carter's 6-2-10-1) have plugged away nobly enough, as they have done all season. But so pitiful was the batting that the bowlers have an impossible job to do.
A gentleman just entered the press box and inquired: "Who's here from the Yorkshire Post?"
It was gently pointed out to him that the Roses Match here was, in fact, in July.

As this game looks like it could be all over tomorrow, has MG invited you, George and Clive to a 'last supper'?
It would be fun to have a crucifixcion on the Rea Bank Sunday!

Paul, I suspect that such an invitation will not be forthcoming - although I have to say supper with MG I can do without.
Did you find that book, by the way?
Heathen, not many travelling Bears here what with it being a midweeker. They're probably off somewhere doing something relatively pleasureable. Like having root canal surgery.

Mr Iverson has been located, I somehow think that even at his best he'd struggle to get us back into this game.
Listening to a very depressing online comentary, the overwhelming impression is that Warwicks are totally outclassed (again).
Have you ever covered a more depressing season, in any sport?

All the signs for this were there last year - in neon.

Quite. The worry is, having unfathomably allowed the disarray to drag on so long, how long will it take to repair and rebuild it all.
