Dougie may have to play!!!

There is talk of bringing back Carter!!!

This is the best team I can think of...

Porterfield
Maddy (makeshift opener no other option)
Troughton
Evans
Ambrose (can't rest him again due to lack of options)
Clarke (can only bat)
Milnes or Alin (not sure we can play both)
Piolet
Patel
Carter (????????!!!!!!!!!!)
Rankin (not really a one day player but no options)]]>

I know we liked to play two spinners , but don't think we have two fit ones on the books right now.

Maybe Maddy / Piolet will be in team?

Maybe Rankin will be left out and Wright 'rested'?]]>

Quick introduction as I'm new here: My name is Andrew Bloxham, soon to be 26 year old Warks fan that does a bit of freelance cricket writing outside of my regular job as a quantity surveyor. I was informed of the site by Kim, so I'll hopefully be able to contribute from time to time.

This season I'm doing a monthly 'supporters network' blog for ESPNcricinfo on the Bears, so hopefully you guys will take the time to have a read and, if so inclined, leave your comments. It'd be greatly appreciated.

I believe Kim posted a link to my season preview in a thread a few weeks back, but here is my second offering, discussing the fragile nature of our top order.

Hope you enjoy it, and any feedback is more than welcome.

Apparently their obsession with T20 cricket is effecting the ability of young players to build a long innings.

Here is a quote from the article:

“In the first class system here there was only one person who had scored two hundreds in Sheffield Shield cricket by mid-January, not including the guys that played in the Test matches,” says Hick. “That’s unheard of, and when I spoke to Stuey Law and Troy Cooley (the former England bowling coach) that was something they identified."

Looks like the XI will be:

Chopra
Westwood
Porterfield
Evans
Troughton
Ambrose
Clarke
Woakes
Barker
Patel
Wright

A strong line-up for the Bears . . . .but with Durham's confidence high after a win last week and Onions and Rushworth bowling well it could be a tough game for the Bears!

Thoughts guys?]]>
