I don't think I said anything like that this year...
I do remember saying something about this time last year when he was nowhere near the side and was on terrible form I suspected he may move to get games. But he came back strongly and surprised us all.
Cracking start to the opening game of the season. Quite fancy heading to The Oval tomorrow now (it'll almost certainly be less torturous than watching us play Southend!)
We missed out on maximum batting points as we took more than 110 overs to get to 400, but we're still well set. Sibley is taking his time but Foakes has played a few attacking shots already.
Earlier you'd have thought we'd have no trouble making 500, but our lengthy tail means that's not guaranteed at all. Tom Curran joins his younger brother out in the middle after Foakes skies an attempted pull for Ambrose to run round and catch.
Footitt follows up a terrible, wild ball which flew over Foakes's head for 4 with a fuller delivery that traps Trott in front. Bell comes to the crease.
And now he gets Bell in the same over! Shorter this time and the former England man can only edge it to Borthwick in the slips. Fantastic stuff from Footitt.
Absolute scenes at the Oval. If I'd have checked the score before getting on my train home I would certainly have popped into the Oval to see the last over. Really wish I did. What a bellend!
Just checked the score and after a Charlton win, a place for my each way Grand National bet and Warwicks out for double figures it's a rare good sporting Saturday.

And now I'm stuck on a train home full life loads of Wet Spam franchise fans... could this get any worse....

Sam Curran does almost exactly the same as Foakes. Really think we're in danger of letting Warwickshire back into this now. Batty comes in to bat.

445-9
Batty biffs a couple of fours to take us past 450 before Wright, the pick of the Warwickshire bowlers, cleans up Footitt to end the innings on 454.
Let's hope the weakness of our tail doesn't prove our Achilles heel this season, as we can't rely on the top order to fire all the time.
30-1

Footitt's on fire! Hain plays at a fuller delivery and edges to Borthwick.
39-4, and that's tea.
Footitt continues his stunning spell by teasing an edge from Porterfield through to Foakes.
42-5
Incredible! Footitt has now taken 5-6, and it's the fourth duck of the innings as Clarke falls lbw.
42-6
No words.
42-7
Dernbach gets in on the act, and Borthwick has a hat-trick of catches in the slips.
48-8
Lol
61-9
Warwickshire 91 all out, Footitt 6-14
That'll do!
