4 Chairman’s Report by Norman Gascoigne
It has been quite a first
year in office for me and
something of a rollercoaster
ride!
At the start of the season
we perhaps felt we would
be challenging strongest in
the one day competitions
after two years but that
we still needed a bit more
time before we mounted
a strong challenge in the
Championship. As things
turned out we surrendered
Varun Chopra 200 at New Road
our CB40 title meekly and
after a decent start in the FL
t20 let our performances fall away dramatically. We were left
therefore to focus very much on the Championship in the
second half of the season. For most members, I suspect,
it is the Championship that remains the competition to win
and we played some fantastic cricket right from the outset.
Double hundreds for Varun Chopra at Taunton and New
Road made for a strong start and as the season progressed
there was a distinct absence of drawn matches in the
Warwickshire results column as Jim Troughton’s squad
maintained a strong position throughout. By the final round
of matches we were top of Division 1 and knew a win down
at the Rose Bowl would see us crowned Champions.
Second Eleven County Champions
Ultimately of course we came up just short as Lancashire
beat Somerset and our own game, blighted by the most
docile of pitches, drifted to a draw. Given what had gone
before it was disappointing to say the least but overall the
Club has continued to make real progress on the playing
front.
Dougie Brown and Ateeq Javid are to be commended
on winning the 2nd XI Championship after an excellent
campaign. This shows we are developing real depth to
our squad. We have a relatively young group of players
and they will be stronger and all the more determined to
succeed as a result of this summer’s experiences. We
continue to invest in all aspects of our cricket operations
and I look forward to more progress next summer.
I should also congratulate all our international players.
At the senior level Ian Bell and Jonathan Trott our centrally
contracted players have continued to fair exceptionally well
both personally and as part of the very successful England
camp. Jonathan completed a wonderful 12 months by
being crowned ICC World Player of the Year having scored
over 1000 runs in both Test Matches and ODI’s – quite
some achievement. As I write this piece Chris Woakes has
just been named in England’s 1 Day squad to tour India
so we will once again have three Bears wearing the three
Lions. In addition Will Porterfield and Boyd Rankin have
remained key figures for Ireland as they continue to push for
full member status within ICC.
Jonathan Trott and Ian Bell, Warwickshire and England
Away from the cricket we have seen just as much action
with the completion of the new development. Edgbaston
is once again one of the very best cricket stadiums
anywhere in the world. We were honoured when the Duke
of Edinburgh conducted the Official Opening ceremony on
Monday 25 July. The project has been a major undertaking
and to complete the work on time and ahead of budget in
such challenging economic times represents a remarkable
achievement. My thanks go to the members of the Master
Plan Steering Group, to our Chief Executive Colin Povey
and to our Project Director Phil Macdonald. In addition
the support of the City Council and of AWM has been vital
as has the work of our main contractor Galliford Try, our
architects AFL and our Project Management support from
local firm RLB. The completed facilities are wonderful and
will enable us to provide not only great viewing for cricket
but also superb event spaces for non-match days.
Leicester celebrate Nixon’s catch
to dismiss Pollard
We launched the new
Edgbaston to the world with
the England v India Test
Match just four weeks after
taking occupation of the
building. With 93000 tickets
sold this was a wonderful
occasion. It was only a
pity that India subsided so
weakly and that Tendulkar
could not manage his
hundredth hundred to make
the occasion even more
memorable. England’s

victory in the match saw them become the number 1 ranked
Test nation and helped maintain Edgbaston’s status as
England’s most successful ground. No sooner had the dust
settled on the Test Match than we were hosting t20 Finals
Day. It proved to be quite a remarkable occasion. Both semi
finals ended in a tie and Leicester Foxes who started the
day as genuine underdogs came away as winners. Paul
Nixon’s stunning catch to remove Keiron Pollard proved to
be the turning point and ensured one of the games longest
serving pro’s retired on the highest of ‘highs’. Quite a day.
As the season came to a close we received the news
from the Major Match Group that we had been allocated a
further 20 days of international and major match day cricket
through to 2016. I was disappointed that we did not get an
Ashes Test Match in 2013 as well as in 2015 but we should
be satisfied that we do now have long term certainty over
our Category A status, our programme of future matches
and sensible prices for the privilege of hosting them. I know
Colin will say more about the business implications of the
awards in his report.
Of course it is traditional
for the Chairman to
acknowledge the
contributions of those
individuals who are moving
on at the end of the season.
We have said goodbye to
three players: Ant Botha,
Naqaash Tahir and Maurice
Holmes. Ant has ultimately
had to admit defeat to a
series of injuries that have
restricted his appearances
of late. Naqaash is one of
our own, a player who came
through the ranks of the
Neal Abberley
Warwickshire Cricket Board
and we wish him well for the
future. Of course the other sad loss we suffered in August
was the death of Neal Abberley. ‘Coach’ as he was known
to most had been a fixture at the Club for nearly 50 years
as player and mentor. Many Warwickshire players over the
years benefitted from his advice and Ian Bell’s form over the
5
summer bears testament to Neal’s skills as a coach. He will
be sorely missed.
One other Edgbaston ‘legend’ does not formally retire
until next Spring but I would like also to thank Steve Rouse
for his contributions over so many years. ‘Rebel’ will be
handing over his duties as Head Groundsman over the
winter months but will continue to coach some of our
youngsters. He is another figure we will miss.
Steve Rouse with Chairman Norman Gascoinge
Finally in closing my report I would thank all our members
for your continued support. Thanks also to the General
Committee and in particular to my Vice Chairman, Chris
Tickle, Treasurer, Steven Mills and Chairman of Cricket John
Dodge. Thank you to the executives and staff and to all our
commercial partners I look forward to the next stage of the
journey next season.

6 Chief Executive’s Report by Colin Povey
The Club has continued to benefit from strong and
consistent cricket policies. Under Ashley’s leadership we
are developing a strong squad and despite the absence of
a major trophy this season we should be pleased with the
progress that has been made. The squad is still maturing
but is well-balanced and capable of competing consistently
now in all formats. The majority of our current players signed
new, extended contracts at the end of the season and we will
continue to seek only high quality additions from outside when
we feel they can add real value to the long term plans we are
putting in place. We have been delighted by the performances
of a number of our young players when they have had
opportunities in the 1st XI and we have been equally pleased
by what last winter’s signings have brought to the party.
Our philosophy remains to prioritize investment into the
cricket operations and to build the squad around home-grown,
English qualified players wherever possible. We continue
to seek only high quality overseas players with proven track
records and who provide good role models for the rest of the
squad. We prefer longer commitments rather than short stays
and choose not to recruit additional t20 specialists for short
windows for cricketing rather than financial reasons.
Whilst there is more work to do we feel strongly that 2011
has been another year of progress in this most important area.
The re-development of the ground has obviously been a
major project which has come to fruition this season and it
was great to see the final transformation. The new stadium is
wonderful and if anything has enabled us to add to the famous
Edgbaston atmosphere on big match days. The project has
dominated much of the year for my senior management
team and in particular Phil Macdonald is to be congratulated
on his work as Project Director. Phil has in fact been central
to three major building projects – the development of the
Edgbaston Cricket Centre, the delivery of the Hollies Stand
and now this latest project. Largely because of Phil the
project was delivered on time and below the original contract
price of £25m. The total cost of the project after fees, land
acquisition and other costs was over £32m. Whilst this is
clearly a substantial cost the investment should now secure
the ground’s long term future at the forefront of the domestic
and international game.
In addition to the new stands we should not forget that last
winter we installed new drainage for the main outfield and
erected the floodlights. Both these improvements have worked
well for us in their first season. The drainage undoubtedly
helped us see significantly more cricket than otherwise would
have been the case and the new permanent lights have been
WARWICKSHIRE CCC MEMBERSHIP PROFILE 2011
ONE AND SIX YEAR MEMBERS AND FOUNDING PARTNERS
a welcome addition for the players who for far too long have
had to put up with the sub-standard temporary lights when
playing day-nighters at Edgabston
The other significant business development I wish to
comment on this year is the creation of our new Joint Venture
with our catering partners Compass. Edgbaston Experience
Ltd started trading at the turn of the year and is now
responsible for the delivery of all our hospitality, conference
and event sales. The Club retains majority control of the
business but has access to the full range of expertise within
the wider Compass group. The business model is based on
similar models that have been operating successfully for some
time at the Oval and at Twickenham. The purpose of the new
venture has been to secure inward investment for the Club in
order to finance the redevelopment and to ensure we have the
ability to grow our revenue streams on an all year round basis.
So far the operation is working well and in line with the original
projections for the business.
The Club’s transformation both on and off the field has
of course been driven by the desire to secure it cricketing
future. The revenues we can generate from international and
major match day cricket remain central to our success so the
award of future fixtures at the end of September was vitally
important. The Club had hoped to be awarded an Ashes Test
in both 2013 and 2015 as the Chairman has said in his report
but we should be satisfied that the major battles on long term
certainty and reasonable match fees have been won. We
have a strong forward allocation we can work with and the
ECB would argue only Lord’s got a better deal. Our task now
is to work hard to ensure we deliver excellent returns from the
games we host and to continue to round out our business
model in a way that allows us over time to wean ourselves off
the over-dependence we still have on international match day
revenues. The Club now has the means with which to meet
these challenges.
I have been saying for some time the 2011 season would
be a watershed for the Club. It will certainly go down in the
Club’s history as one of the most eventful and dramatic and
I believe ultimately we will all be able to look back on events
with pride.
I would once again want to add my personal thanks to the
Club Officers, Committee members, members, staff, sponsors
and other partners for their support.
A new chapter in the Club’s history has started – let’s make
it a happy and successful one.

1st XI 2011 Season Review by Ashley Giles
“Close but no cigar” I think they say.
Another very exciting end to a County Championship
season, another excellent advert for divisional cricket and
a fourth consecutive season in which the Bears have been
challenging for silverware on the very last day of the season.
This time, however, despite a brilliant effort by everyone on a
long final day at Southampton we came up just short.
In the end we were beaten as much by the Rose Bowl
wicket as by Lancashire, who romped to victory against
Somerset at Taunton, with only a handful of overs left in the
championship season. Our bowlers toiled admirably on
that final day against Hampshire. A day, at the beginning
of which, we would certainly have started as favourites for
the title.
Can we do it as Ervine is bowled by Chris Metters
In reflection it would be easy to look back at the
incredible disappointment we all felt at getting so close but
yet so far. What could we have done differently? Where did
we get it wrong? If only. Believe me; I’ve done my fair share
of this!
However, it’s much nicer to look back now on an
extremely satisfying county championship season. In which
we won nine out of sixteen matches, made significant
progress on our 2010 performance and competed at the
top end of the table for the vast majority of the summer.
I felt, overall, we also got some respect back for the way
we played our cricket.
At the start of our 2011 campaign we made it our
aim to ‘step up’ against the better teams. Sides that had
embarrassed us on occasions in 2010. To do this we knew
we had to play a far more disciplined and skilful brand of
cricket. We had to get scores on the board first innings and
take 20 wickets. Simple really!
So, beating both Nottinghamshire and Somerset (2010’s
top two sides) home and away was great reward for our
planning and hard work. Losing only 4 matches, equally,
showed we had also become much more resilient and
therefore harder to beat.
Varun Chopra had his first 1000
run Championship Season
All of our batsman
contributed at different
times to get us good first
innings scores for the
majority of the season.
However, Varun Chopra
had a fantastic season with
the bat notching up his first
1000 run championship
season, including two
double hundreds.
The progress, and
growth, of our pace bowling
attack was one of the
single biggest reasons for
us challenging for the title
this year. Woakes, Rankin and Clarke were outstanding and
well supported on different occasions by Barker, Wright,
Miller, Carter and Maddy. Our spin bowlers also played key
parts at different times with Chris Metters, in his first year
in professional cricket, showing he has both the skill and
temperament to have long and successful career.
Chris Woakes and Boyd Rankin
Rikki Clarke and Chris Metters
Pleasingly, and most importantly, we still have a huge
amount of growth, development and therefore improvement
to come from our playing staff.

1st XI 2011 Season Review
If our 4 day cricket was satisfying our one day cricket
was far from. This was particularly disappointing after our
cb40 success in 2010.
We undoubtedly missed Trott and Bell this year in the
cb40, as we had missed them hugely during our 2010
championship campaign, and we were unable to fill the void
they left behind. They played a massive part in our 2010
cb40 campaign and after 6 matches were the equal highest
run scorers nationally. We also missed the mid innings
brilliance of Imran Tahir with the ball who was instrumental
in setting up many of our victories. Apart from this we still
didn’t get many other parts of our one day game right. We
have always prided ourselves on our one day disciplines
and this year in both cb40 and t20 we simply weren’t
consistent enough in delivering our skills. Soon after the half
way stage of the cb40 competition had come and gone, so
had our chances of retaining our title.
After a bright start to our t20 campaign, with wins
against Durham and Yorkshire, we stuttered and lost
confidence very quickly. We regularly lost games that in
previous campaigns we would have won easily. Part of
this is down to hesitating and losing confidence and if you
hesitate in a twenty over match you become ‘sitting ducks’.
But, also to blame, and the major reason a side loses
confidence, was that our ‘skills’ simply weren’t good
enough. We weren’t consistently dominant, or dynamic, with
the bat and with the ball we regularly got it wrong ‘up front’
and at the ‘death’.
We work extremely hard on improving our cricket every
‘off season’ and this year we will pay particular attention to
correcting our one day cricket. As well as re enforcing the
improvements we have made in the longer format.
2nd Eleven Final about to start
Congratulations must go this year to our second team
for their success in the 2nd Eleven County Championship. A
brilliant effort by Dougie and his young guns. Doing the first
and second eleven double would have been magnificent,
but, I am personally very proud of what our young players
have achieved this year. Again, they have lots of scope for
further growth and success both in second and first eleven
cricket.
13
One man who would have been extremely proud of our
second eleven this year (and first eleven I hope!) would
have been Neal Abberley. Development of our young
players was a life’s work to Abbers and without him many of
us would not be where we are today.
Neal Abberley
His death on the 8th August was a great shock to
all of us. Abbers was, simply, Warwickshire through and
through. A coach, mentor, friend and key member of my
management team Abbers will be sorely missed.
I do have some thank you’s and goodbyes to say as
always. Thank you to Jim Troughton, and well done on your
first year as captain, and thank you to all of the players for
their efforts, hard work and dedication this summer.
Thank you to Cookie, Doug, Welchy, Mossie, Chris, Stu
and, of course Abbers. My management team. Extremely
hard working and loyal, they put up with a lot from me!
Thank you to John Dodge, Colin Povey and Norman
Gascoigne for their support in different areas and the cricket
committee.
I must also thank our loyal supporters. Keep believing!
As always, unfortunately, we do have some goodbyes
to say. To Naqaash Tahir, Ant Botha and Maurice Holmes I
thank you for all your efforts for the team and wish you well
in everything you do in the future. You are always welcome
back. Steve Rouse, our
head groundsman, also
leaves us for retirement
(and probably a lot more
sun) this year and we wish
him well.
Finally, thank you to
my wife Stine and our
beautiful children Anders
and Tilly. This year has been
extremely challenging at
times both on and off the
field, and I couldn’t do it
without them.
Steve Rouse

Match Result: Warwickshire won by an innings and 382 runs Points: Somerset 3 (Batting 1, Bowling 2); Warwickshire 24 (Batting 5, Bowling 3)
Losing the toss Warwickshire made a cautious start, with
Westwood and Porterfield both out before the interval.
After lunch Maddy raced to his fifty while Chopra had a life
when dropped on eighty two but completed his first century for
Warwickshire with a push through mid-wicket.
Maddy 67, was bowled by Mendis attempting a sweep shot
while Troughton and Clarke fell before tea when Chopra was
unbeaten on 111 and Ambrose, still to get off the mark, with the
Bears 276-5.
Ambrose edged Willoughby with the new ball, to Kieswetter
for forty, but Chopra reached his 150 and joined by Woakes,
completed maximum batting points before the close of the
opening day.
Chopra completed a superb double century for Warwickshire
on the second morning, as the overnight pair posted their century
partnership with Chopra reaching the double century landmark for
the first time in his career before he was eventually out to Mendis
for 210.
Woakes completed his fourth career century after lunch and
Botha was last out for a useful sixty four as the Bears recorded
their highest total for fifteen years and the sixth highest ever when
closing on 642.
In reply, Somerset survived nine testing overs before tea,
but Miller struck in the first over after the interval, removing
Trescothick.
Suppiah and Compton added seventy three for the second
wicket before Woakes then took the wickets of Compton and
Hildreth.
Buttler edged Clarke to Johnson, keeping for the injured
Ambrose, without scoring and then Kieswetter, caught at slip gave
Woakes a third wicket.
Bad light brought an end to proceedings with seven overs left
in the day and Somerset on 147-6 still trailing by 495 runs.
It took slightly more than ten overs in the morning session for
Woakes 6-85 and Miller 2-50 to wrap up the home side’s innings
for 210.
Troughton enforced the follow on and Somerset’s batting
imploded, after Woakes struck early to remove Suppiah and Miller
then trapped both Compton and Hildreth
Woakes immediately removed both Trescothick and Kieswetter
and when Clarke quickly removed Buttler, Hussain and Kirby the
home side went to lunch on 44-8 having lost twelve wickets in the
morning session for just one hundred and seven runs.
After the break, Clarke swept the tail away to finish with 5-10,
as Somerset were bowled out for fifty, crashing to defeat by an
innings and three hundred and eighty two runs.

After winning the toss, Worcestershire made use of the early
favourable bowling conditions, reducing the Bears to 85-4 at
lunch with Westwood and Porterfield out to Wright, while Mason
and Andrew picked up the other wickets.
After lunch Richardson’s dismissal of Troughton, heralded a
further collapse, reducing Warwickshire to 159-9 before a last
wicket partnership of 42 between Rankin and Woakes took the
total to 201, with Wright 5-62.
Worcestershire began their reply in an aggressive manner,
with Mitchell 43 and Cameron 56, until Rankin and Clarke made
late strikes with Worcestershire trailing by just forty six runs at
stumps.
Solanki and former Warwickshire batsman Ali continued their
partnership on the second morning, until Rankin dismissed
Solanki and Kervezee immediately prior to lunch when
Worcestershire led by 45.
Botha took all three wickets in the afternoon session, Ali 92,
caught at slip by Clarke, Andrew caught at deep mid off by
Woakes and Cox lbw sweeping, with Worcestershire 347-7 at the
tea interval.
Pardoe completed a maiden first-class half-century before
Clarke and Rankin 5-57 polished off the innings with a deficit of
174.

Chopra, in superb early season form, completed his half
century just before the close. When Warwickshire were 76-0
The early wickets of Westwood and Porterfield gave the home
side a lift on the third morning, but Chopra reached his century
off the final over before lunch when Warwickshire were 157-2
seventeen behind.
The third wicket pair batted throughout the afternoon, adding
125 runs, with Chopra becoming the first player in the history of
the Warwickshire club to make double centuries in consecutive
County Championship matches after Mohammad Yousaf 81,
had been superbly caught at slip.
Chopra 228 and Troughton 46 were early casualties on the
final morning and when Clarke, Woakes and Johnson quickly
followed, the Bears had lost five wickets for just seventeen runs.
Botha made a quick-fire twenty eight allowing Troughton to
declare before lunch setting a target of 288 for victory.
Woakes struck early and after lunch he collected two more
wickets, while Botha held a return chance from Ali and Pardoe
fell to Clarke before a partnership between Kervezee and Andrew
was finally broken, giving Botha a fifth wicket in the match.
Woakes claimed three more victims in fourteen balls to finish
with 6-49 and it was left to Boyd Rankin to dismiss Ben Cox to
secure victory by eighty eight runs.

Winning the toss and batting an opening partnership of
seventy one from Chopra and Westwood followed by useful
partnerships between Porterfield, making a maiden Bears
half-century, with Yousaf and then Troughton, took the Bears to
215-3 at tea.
The dismissal of Porterfield 87 brought a change in fortunes
in the final half hour, with Brathwaite taking three wickets in three
overs, removing Clarke, Ambrose and then skipper Troughton
76, just before the close, when they were 345-6.
There were early wickets for Onions and Brathwaite at the
commencement of the second day, but Woakes and Rankin’s
last wicket partnership of 80 took the Bears to a total of 429.
In reply Durham raced away, taking tea on 134-0 before
Woakes made the breakthrough after tea removing Smith
This wicket combined with an injury to Di Venuto 115 brought
a mini-collapse for the home side as Woakes, Clarke and Miller
grabbed wickets and just before the close, Rankin’s short
delivery was fended to gulley by Onions as Durham closed the
day on 230-5.
A wicketless third morning for the Bears saw Blackwell
and Benkenstein, complete half centuries, and make steady
progress until two wickets in an over from Rankin.
Blackwell completed his century while Best collected a first
Championship wicket before the home side were dismissed with
a lead of 36.
Chopra 8 was caught but the introduction of leg-spinner,
Borthwick, brought a clutter of wickets as Porterfield, Yousaf and
Westwood all fell before the close, with Warwickshire 52-4 and a
lead of just sixteen.
Rain halted play after Warwickshire had lost Clarke to Onions
and immediately play resumed Troughton and Best followed
Ambrose and Woakes batted for half an hour before
Brathwaite bowled Woakes to leave Warwickshire 94-8 After
the break, Ambrose took the attack to the Durham bowlers,
completing his half century, before falling to Onions and after
Rankin was last out, Durham were set a target of 102 for victory
with forty nine overs remaining in the day.
Borthwick was promoted up the order to open in place of the
injured DiVenuto and he saw Durham home to victory, unbeaten
on forty eight after Woakes had Smith caught on the backward
square-leg boundary by a diving Westwood for nine before tea
and Muchall fell for thirty to the bowling of Best with the winning
post in sight to leave the home side victors by eight wickets.

Match Result: Lancashire won by 147 runs Points: Warwickshire 3 (Bowling 3); Lancashire 20 (Batting 1, Bowling 3)
Warwickshire collected early wickets against Lancashire
after losing the toss, when Horton and Brown fell before lunch
to Woakes and Clarke who repeated their double strike in the
afternoon removing Chilton and Croft respectively before Rankin
trapped the obdurate Moore lbw.
In the evening session, Rankin had Procter caught at slip and
then Cross played on from Clarke and when Rankin took the last
three wickets in an over Lancashire closed on 227.
In reply Anderson trapped Porterfield, lbw for two, in the time
left in the day.
On the second day, the Bears’ top and middle order
folded against some lateral movement and uneven bounce,
as Lancashire grabbed the initiative taking six wickets in the
morning session.
Chopra was lbw to Chapple’s first delivery of the morning
while Trott and Bell both edged chances to slip while Procter
claimed three wickets in the half hour before lunch removing
Clarke 0, Yousaf and Woakes. Ambrose and Barker offered
brief resistance before the tail fell away and Warwickshire were
dismissed for 172 runs.
Lancashire started their second innings poorly, Horton 3 was
well caught down the leg side by Ambrose off Woakes and both
21
Moore and Brown were lbw as the visitors slipped to 27-3 before
a useful partnership of sixty one for the fourth wicket ended
when Woakes removed Chilton lbw for twenty three.
This was to be the final success of the day for the Bears as
Croft reached his half century just before the close after he had
been dropped off some straight forward chances and with an
overall lead of 173 and six wickets in hand Lancashire closed the
day in a strong position.
Lancashire lost wickets at regular intervals on the third
morning with Rankin and Woakes picking up five wickets in the
session as the Lancashire innings closed half an hour before the
interval on 189, leaving Warwickshire a target of 245 for victory
from a little over five possible sessions of play.
Porterfield went before lunch and Bell immediately afterwards
and despite some spirited batting from Trott 39 and Chopra
29, once they had gone to the spin of Keedy and Kerrigan, the
innings collapsed in just over thirty overs as Kerrigan 5-7 and
Keedy 3-2 destroyed the Bears’ outside hopes of an unlikely
victory.
97 all out and beaten by 147 runs, Warwickshire now had
two wins and two defeats from their opening four Championship
games.

After a delay for rain, winning the toss and batting,
Warwickshire lost Chopra and Porterfield before lunch and with
unpredictable bounce, Trott, Bell and Maddy all followed in the
afternoon to leave the Bears on 99-5.
Immediately after tea, two sixes in an over off Choudhry
by Clarke brought the fifty partnership and with both batsmen
beginning to time the ball, they each reached their half centuries
and posted a century partnership for the sixth wicket before
Clarke edged to ‘keeper Scott.
Yousaf reached his century before being bowled early on
the second day, but Tahir was next to go, caught in the gulley.
Ambrose completed his half century while Metters on debut,
batted well and with Rankin added thirty nine for the last wicket
before the innings closed on 382. Pardoe and Cameron replied
with a fifty opening partnership and with Pardoe completing his
half century, at tea Worcestershire were 122-2.
Two wickets for Metters on debut changed the game and
Clarke then joined in with the wickets of Choudhry and Andrew.
Before the close, Metters took the wickets of skipper, Ali, Wright
and Shantry to finish the day with 5-65 as Worcestershire closed
on 228-9.
He then wrapped up the Worcestershire first innings with his
first ball of the third morning and having decided not to enforce
the follow-on with a leads of 154, the Bears lost Porterfield,
Chopra and Trott to deliveries with uncertain bounce, leaving
them 41-3.
Bell also fell to Shantry before lunch and as wickets continued
to fall after lunch, Yousaf completed a very confident half century
before skipper, Bell declared with eight wickets down and a lead
of 327.
Tahir struck three times, with openers Cameron and Pardoe
both out with only seven on the board and Kervezee lbw before
rain returned and play was suspended again. Solanki retired hurt
after turning his head away from a short delivery from Rankin
and being struck on the back of his helmet.
Three wickets in the first hour for the Bears put them firmly in
control of the local derby with Clarke taking two and Tahir picking
up his fourth of the innings as Choudhry, Ali and Andrew all went
cheaply.
When Rankin dismissed Wright and then hit Scott on the
hand, forcing him to retire hurt, Worcestershire’s innings came to
a close with Solanki and Richardson unable and unwilling to bat
through injury concerns.

A change of ends for Shreck brought the breakthrough when
Chopra edged to slip but Porterfield and Bell maintained the rapid
scoring rate despite Porterfield surviving two difficult chances.
The threatening rain arrived half an hour before lunch when
Warwickshire were 102-1 and after a delay of almost 2 hours the
players came out for ten minutes before the rain returned. There was
time for Porterfield to completed his fifty but he didn’t last too long
after the next extended break, but Bell and Trott, playing in their final
games before the Sri Lankan Test series quickly posted a half century
partnership before Trott was caught behind.
Now partnered by Yousaf, Bell, in imperious form completed his
fifty and took the Bears to the close on 233-3.
A century from Bell was the feature of the second morning after
Yousaf had been run out backing up. Maddy and Clarke were both
out to slip catches but Bell dominated the session with a display of
well timed shots.
Immediately after lunch, Adams took two wickets in two deliveries
and when Bell 139 was finally dismissed the innings closed on 376
The Nottinghamshire reply began badly, with Patel and Wagh,
23
falling to Tahir, whilst Mullaney pulled Rankin to deep square-leg and
Brown was bowled by Maddy.
Voges and Franks quickly followed to leave Nottinghamshire 70-6
at tea.
Rankin, Maddy and Clarke wrapped up the innings after tea
allowing Bell to enforce the follow-on and Tahir struck quickly
removing Patel for a duck. Rankin then powered his way through
the top order, taking the wickets of Wagh, Mullaney and Brown as
Nottinghamshire closed the second day on 60-4 still 199 runs behind.
An unbeaten partnership of 143 between Franks and Voges held
the Bears up on the third day as they batted through the morning
session, but after lunch a magnificent diving catch by Chopra
brought an end to Voges’ innings and immediately, Tahir claimed
skipper Read.
Maddy dismissed Franks 96 and Swann although a flurry of runs
from Broad and Adams took Nottinghamshire into a lead before
Clarke mopped them both up to leave Warwickshire requiring just
sixty for victory.
Despite losing Chopra early, Bell and Porterfield took little time to
see the Bears home to a nine wicket victory.

Durham won the toss losing di Venuto and Muchall before
lunch and Stokes immediately afterwards, before Smith and
Benkenstein took them to tea on 234-3.
The final session of the day belonged to Durham after
Smith completed his century, he and Benkenstein took their
partnership well past two hundred as they found a benign
surface perfect to bat on.
At the close Durham were 348-3 with Smith, having been at
the crease all day, 153* and Benkenstein 90*
Metters took the two wickets to fall on the second morning
after Smith 179 and Benkenstein 128 had set a county record
stand of 273 for the fourth wicket.
Blackwell and Mustard, continued to take the attack to the
Bears’ bowlers before Mustard declared with Durham 602-6
Warwickshire lost three wickets to the opening pair of Thorp
and Harmison before tea and a further six in a final session that
saw the Bears close the day on 186-9 trailing still by 416 runs on
what had been a desperately disappointing day.
All out for 186 and trailing by 416 runs the Bears were asked
to follow-on but rain prevented the players resuming before an
early lunch was taken.
Thorp and Stokes dismissed Chopra and Westwood, both
caught by Di Venuto, and Stokes struck again when Yousaf
played across the line to register a king pair before Bears’
skipper, Troughton held on until bad light caused a final
stoppage with Warwickshire still 381 behind.
Troughton and Maddy kept Durham at bay for over half an
hour on the final morning before both fell with the total on 71
and when Ambrose was trapped lbw by Brathwaite for nine, a
possible end to the match before lunch appeared possible.
Clarke 46 played some attacking shots before he edged an
attempted drive off Harmison before lunch when Warwickshire
were 149-7.
The afternoon saw Barker complete a superb century as he
and Tahir batted throughout the session taking the total on to
251 before Barker was caught off the final delivery before tea
for 101.
Tahir and Metters took the Bears into the final hour and with
Tahir completing a maiden half century, Brathwaite bowled
Metters 25 with a quick yorker, before wrapping the innings up
in his next over when Tahir guided a ball to Thorp in the gulley to
bring to an end a rearguard action lasting almost four hours and
two hundred deliveries.

Trescothick dominated the opening morning at Edgbaston,
becoming the first person to a thousand runs for the season
after Suppiah and Compton had been dismissed before lunch.
An impressive spell from Rankin saw him take three wickets in
quick succession while Clarke removed Gregory and Kartik and
Woakes picked up a sixth wicket just before tea.
After the break, Rankin and Woakes took the final two wickets
as the Somerset innings closing on 262.
Westwood and Chopra batted through the final session
reaching eighty six without loss before bad light brought an early
close with three overs remaining in the day.
The opening pair added a further 113 runs in the morning
session to take the Bears to lunch on 199-0 and setting a new
record opening partnership record for Warwickshire against
Somerset before Trego broke the partnership in his first over
after lunch when Chopra 85 was lbw with the Bears 202-1.
Westwood completed his century and after tea Porterfield
completed a half century before Maddy was caught at slip off
the last ball of the day with Warwickshire 398-7 leading by one
hundred and thirty six runs.
Warwickshire were dismissed in their first innings for 448 with
Woakes, Rankin and Metters adding fifty two to the overnight total.
25
There was time before lunch for Woakes to pick up the wicket
of Suppiah.
Progress was slow for Somerset after lunch with the Bears’
bowlers applying a good line but Trescothick completed his
second half century of the match before sweeping Metters into
short-leg Westwood’s thigh and the fielder caught the ball as it
rebounded.
At tea Somerset trailed by sixty five but after the break the
innings collapsed, with Hildreth lbw to Rankin and Kieswetter
recording the first pair of his career when lbw to Woakes.
Clarke joined in, bowling Gregory and Trego, while Metters
picked up the wickets of Kartik and Kirby. Clarke took a third
wicket before Troughton claimed the extra half an hour, but days
but Somerset closed just five runs ahead with one wicket in
hand.
Clarke wrapped up the Somerset innings on the final morning
when Compton 95 was caught on the long on boundary by
Porterfield leaving Warwickshire needing just twenty three for
victory, Westwood and Chopra took only twenty deliveries to
complete a ten wicket win and to record the first double over
Somerset for fifty years.

After winning the toss and batting at the Arundel Castle
ground, Sussex went to lunch on 101-2 on what looked to be a
good wicket.
Joyce, having played several aggressive drives went after
lunch and five further wickets fell to the Bears in the session as
Sussex went to tea on 199-8
Anyon was taken at short-leg off Rankin, but Goodwin
completed his half century before Sussex were dismissed for
251 from 77.4 overs
Warwickshire raced to fifty eight without loss at the close of
an excellent opening day.
Chopra and Westwood completed half centuries taking
the Bears to lunch on 155-1 but the afternoon session saw
Warwickshire lose inertia with their batting as Westwood, Porterfield
and Troughton all went, as Warwickshire were 224-4 at tea.
The final session belonged to Warwickshire adding 146 runs
for the loss of just two wickets with Maddy making a half century
before the Bears closed the second day on 370-6 and an overall
lead of one hundred and nineteen.
A further one hundred and one runs were added by the Bears
on the third morning with both Barker and Clarke completing half
centuries
After lunch, the innings was wrapped up for a final total of 481
the highest ever score by Warwickshire where no batsman had
made a century and with the Bears holding a 230 run advantage,
Rankin stormed in and dismissed both openers, Nash and
Joyce in his opening spell. Immediately before tea, Patel trapped
Goodwin lbw offering no shot and at tea Sussex on 75-3 still
trailed by 155 runs.
Patel collected two more wickets after the interval and with
the prospect of a three day finish looking possible, Wright was
joined by Rayner and they survived the final twenty three overs of
the day and in doing added eighty seven runs taking Sussex to
201-5 at the close.
The sixth wicket partnership between Wright and Rayner
continued to flourish on the final morning with Wright completing
his century before Patel broke the stand that had added one
hundred and sixty three runs taking Sussex into the lead.
Rayner followed quickly, again to Patel, his fifth wicket of the
innings and Rankin was too powerful for Khan and Panesar as
the innings closed on 301.
Chopra and Porterfield were dismissed before then Bears
completed a comfortable victory by 8 wickets.

Early wickets for Anyon gave Sussex the initiative at
Edgbaston after the Bears had been put into bat on a greenish
wicket, but Evans, and Porterfield saw them to lunch with no
further loss on 93-2.
Porterfield and Evans made fifties but it was an unbroken
seventh wicket partnership between Woakes and Ambrose that
helped the Bears close the opening day on 261-6.
After an hour’s delay for rain, Woakes and Ambrose
completed their half centuries, but Patel and Barker’s ninth
wicket record partnership against Sussex of 155 saw Barker
complete his second century of the season while Patel made an
attractive sixty five as the Bears’ innings closed on 521.
In their reply, Sussex lost Joyce and Wells to Woakes in his
opening spell, but Nash was in attacking form and raced to his
fifty before Patel bowled him as Sussex closed the day on 103-3
trailing by 418 runs.
Woakes and Patel shared eight wickets as Warwickshire
continued to dominate Sussex, who were forced to follow on, on
day three.
Having reduced Sussex to 103 for three overnight, Woakes
doubled his two wickets to take 4-67 and Patel added three to
claim 4-52. Only Goodwin provided meaningful resistance with a
What do you mean he’s not out?
27
stubborn 94 before becoming Woakes’ final victim.
Sussex openers Joyce and Nash added 55 second time
round until Patel snared Nash and Clarke removed Wells. When
bad light brought an early close, Joyce had 42 of 71 for two, with
a further 192 required to make the hosts bat again.
An early strike on the final day came for Warwickshire when
Goodwin’s attempted on drive went straight to substitute fielder
Botha and with the wicket giving some help to both seam and
spin, Woakes and Patel took full advantage removing Joyce,
Hodd, Rayner and Adkin as Sussex went to lunch on 165-7.
Naved went in Patel’s first over after lunch and Panesar
edged Clarke to Ambrose.
Yardy completed his fifty before Anyon was trapped lbw to
give Patel a sixth wicket and his tenth in the match, the first time
he’d done that in his career, as the Bears wrapped up victory by
an innings and forty three runs to maintain their position in the
table.
The last slow bowler to take a 10 wicket haul against Sussex
was W E Hollies at Edgbaston in 1953! In fact Hollies is the only
slow bowler to do this against Sussex until this match.

Putting Lancashire into bat, they went to lunch on 63-1.
Brown and Chilton went after the break, but Moore stood out,
reaching his half century with a sumptuous cover drive.
Barker had Croft lbw but it was Carter who changed the
game, taking the wickets of Moore, Cross and Chapple, the
latter his 300th first-class before Mahmood, Smith and Hogg’s
dismissal left him with career best figures of 6-30 as Lancashire
made 189.
Chopra went early, before play was finally abandoned for
the day and it was slow progress on the second morning
as Porterfield, Evans and Ambrose went cheaply before
Warwickshire went to a rain induced early lunch, on 112-4.
More rain preceded the departure of Clarke, Troughton,
one short of his fifty and Barker, having taken the Bears into a
tea-time. Woakes completed his fifty before a last wicket flurry
between Patel and Rankin ended with the Bears all out for 280.
Moore and Horton extended their opening partnership to fifty
seven before Horton steered a catch to Clarke at slip and then
Moore followed, again to a terrific Clarke slip catch off Rankin.
Chilton gave Clarke a third catch, but a solid unbeaten fourth
wicket partnership between Brown and Croft took the home side
to the interval with a lead of forty eight.
The afternoon session belonged to Lancashire with Croft
completing his century before edging Barker with the new ball,
bringing a rush of wickets, as Smith, Brown and Cross all went
after then interval.
Mahmood gave Clarke a world record equalling seventh
catch while just before the close the ninth wicket went down.
After heavy morning rain, Rankin quickly polished off the
Lancashire innings the Bears a target of 290 for victory from a
minimum of 75 overs.
Warwickshire opened with Carter and Chopra and had
reached 72-0 when Carter and then Porterfield departed, Chopra
edged to slip and Troughton clipped to leg-slip. At 92-4, Evans
and Ambrose took them to tea with no further loss and batted
cautiously against the spin of Keedy and the seam attack of
Chapple and Hogg before Evans was caught at slip.
Ambrose completed his fifty but Clarke fell to Keedy and with
the game meandering to a draw Croft bowled both Woakes and
Patel in the penultimate over of the day leaving Ambrose 66* to
block out a final over to secure a draw for the Bears.

Match Result: Hampshire won by 209 runs Points: Warwickshire 4 (Batting 2, Bowling 3, slow over-rate -1); Hampshire 19 (Bowling 3)
After winning the toss and fielding at Edgbaston, only
Hampshire’s opening pair of Adams and Dawson offered any
resistance as they went to lunch on 77-6.
A stand of 64 for the seventh wicket was broken by Woakes,
who then collected his fifth wicket of the innings when a superb
Clarke diving catch brought the end for Mascarenhas. He then
picked up the final two wickets to finish with career best figures
of 7-20 as Hampshire were dismissed for 141.
The Bears found batting equally difficult, losing early wickets,
before a Chopra half-century left Warwickshire 96-4 when play
was abandoned for the day.
After losing Troughton and Clarke early, a partnership of
seventy three between Woakes and Ambrose restored the Bears’
advantage but wickets continued to fall cheaply, as Ambrose,
Woakes and Barker all made good starts but failed to capitalise
and convert into match winning scores, before the innings
closed on 250 with a lead of 109.
Barker made the first breakthrough in the Hampshire second
innings when Dawson was well caught at slip; Hampshire went
to tea on 34-1.
After tea, Barker made a vital strike when bowling Adams, but
Carberry and McKenzie added sixty seven before Barker struck
again when Carberry missed a straight ball, lbw for forty nine.
29
Just before the close Rankin made one bounce and
McKenzie edged to Ambrose as Hampshire closed the day on
163-4 with a lead of fifty four.
Hampshire prospered on the third morning, with the dismissal
of night-watchman Tomlinson the sole Bears’ success of the
session. After play resumed, Ervine completed a half century
and Vince a third first-class century, putting the visitors into a
commanding lead.
The new ball heralded a change in fortune when Woakes
trapped Ervine lbw and Bates followed. Rankin then picked
up the wicket of Vince 145 and Mascarenhas, before Woakes
finished the innings off for his tenth wicket in the match.
Requiring 308 for victory with four sessions available,
Warwickshire were dismissed inside just one, as they crashed
to 98 all out, to leave Hampshire victors by a massive 209 runs
after they’d trailed by 109 on the first innings.
Wood’s opening over disposed of Westwood and Porterfield,
while Tomlinson captured Chanderpaul, Troughton and Ambrose
for ducks.
Chopra, Clarke and Barker quickly followed and Tahir
mopped up the tail to complete a remarkable turn-around for
Hampshire, facile victors by 209 runs.

Shivnarine Chanderpaul makes his maiden century for Warwickshire
Match Result: Warwickshire won by an innings and 58 runs Points: Yorkshire 4 (Batting 2, Bowling 2); Warwickshire 23 (Batting 4, Bowling 3)
Yorkshire won the toss at Headingley and chose to bat losing
Rudolph early and going to lunch on 95-1.
After lunch, three quick wickets saw Yorkshire slip to 134-4
after Wright picked up the wicket of Root and McGrath, while
Sayers was bowled by Barker. Brophy edged Barker to slip and
at tea, Yorkshire were 195-5.
Bowled out after the tea interval, Metters 3-31 and Barker
4-73 well supported by Wright 2-65 on debut, dismissed
Yorkshire for 297.
Warwickshire lost both openers early on the second morning
and at 5-2 Evans and Chanderpaul set about restoring the
innings taking Warwickshire to 80-3 at lunch.
The afternoon session went very much Warwickshire’s
way after Troughton’s dismissal, Chanderpaul and Ambrose
completed fifties going to the break on 208-4.
Ambrose and Maddy went after tea but Chanderpaul
completed a maiden century for Warwickshire and joined by
Barker took the Bears into the lead closing the day on 340-6.
Yorkshire capitulated on Day 3 against Warwickshire to lose
by an innings and 58 runs, providing the Bears with a twenty
three point victory that took them back to second place in the
table just behind Lancashire.
At the start of the day, Chanderpaul and Barker continued
their impressive seventh wicket partnership, extending it to 119
before Yorkshire made a breakthrough, when Patterson’s full
delivery was edged by Chanderpaul to Brophy for a superb 193.
Barker reached his half century before Root removed him
after lunch while Carter and Metters quickly followed as the
innings closed on 482.
Barker struck quickly with the new ball taking the key wickets
of Rudolph and Root before Wright dismissed McGrath and
Ballance.
After tea Brophy was bowled by Wright for 14 and Sayers lbw
to Barker for 25 and at 47-6 Yorkshire were collapsing in a match
they knew they had to win.
Pyrah aimed a drive through the leg-side off Barker only to
send a leading edge to Troughton at mid-off and Rashid was
bowled Wright before Sidebottom was caught at first slip by
Chopra off Wright for the fourth duck of the innings.
Carter secured a spectacular victory when he bowled
Patterson as Wright 5-31 began his Bears’ career in the best
possible way.
This victory took the Bears within three points of Lancashire at
the top of the table.

Winning the toss Warwickshire picked up one wicket before
lunch before Yorkshire commanded the middle session of the day
with both Sayers and Lyth completing half centuries and posting a
century second wicket partnership going to tea on 186-2.
Warwickshire took the evening session, taking six wickets for
just sixty eight runs as Yorkshire closed the day on 254-8. Clarke
wrapped up the Yorkshire innings for 281 next day.
In reply, Chopra and Porterfield went quickly and it was slow
going in the afternoon session after Westwood completed his half
century and then edged Sidebottom to slip. Troughton followed,
but with Chanderpaul still there the Bears went to tea on 142-4.
After Ambrose completed his fifty, Chanderpaul reached a
second consecutive century against Yorkshire before falling to the
new ball with night-watchman Metters following to the final ball of
the day.
Warwickshire lost their last four first innings wickets on the third
morning for just thirty seven runs and by lunch Sayers and Root
had wiped out any advantage to build a five run lead.
In the first over after the break, Wright struck twice, dismissing
Sayers and Lyth before Metters claimed the wickets of Root
and Bairstow and just before tea Wright trapped McGrath lbw
immediately after he’d reached his half century. At tea Yorkshire
had a lead of 140 with five wickets in hand.
31
The evening session belonged to Yorkshire, as Ballance and
Rashid dominated a tired looking Bears’ attack who leaked one
hundred and forty two runs in the session to put the initiative back
in the hands of the visitors.
Ballance completed his maiden Championship century on the
final morning, as Yorkshire extended their lead past three hundred
and after he and Rashid followed the innings was finally declared
on 385-8 leaving Warwickshire a target of 349 for victory
Chopra fell immediately but Porterfield and Westwood took the
Bears to lunch on 35-1.
Continuing to take it slowly Westwood and Porterfield adding
eighty two for the second wicket and at tea Warwickshire still
required 215 for victory.
Troughton and Chanderpaul took advantage of some
concocted bowling to reach half centuries after tea but with the
Bears still needing 135 to win, the umpires brought the players off
for bad light.
This was to be the final action as the match was abandoned as
a draw with Warwickshire second in the table seven points behind
Durham with a game in hand.

Warwickshire made a good start before losing Chopra to
Pattinson while Westwood and Porterfield had reached 70-1
when rain forced an early lunch.
After the interval, Porterfield and Chanderpaul were dismissed
with just 54 runs added in the afternoon, but in the final session,
an acceleration of pace saw Westwood complete his century
and Troughton pass 7,000 career first-class runs before bad light
brought an early close with Warwickshire 235-3.
Westwood 171 fell to Fletcher on the second day and after
an Ambrose cameo, Clarke joined Troughton who completed his
century, his first for two years, as the Bears went to tea on 454-5.
Clarke completed his century before White picked up the
consolation of dismissing both Troughton 151 and Clarke 126
before the Bears declared on 574-7.
There was just one success for Warwickshire in the twenty
one overs available before the close when Woakes had Turner
caught at slip by Chopra for nineteen.
Hales completed his half century before the close when
Nottinghamshire were 80-1.
A tremendous day in the field for Warwickshire saw them
dismiss Nottinghamshire in the afternoon session for 238.
Earlier, Woakes had made the first breakthrough of the day
when Hales 72 edged to Chopra at slip and almost immediately,
Jim Troughton and Ian Westwood both get centuries in a great victory
Wessells followed. Mullaney trod on his wicket and immediately
after the interval, Woakes made a double strike removing Read
and Franks.
Bravo 70 drove loosely tot the cover boundary and resistance
White edged Wright to slip before Adams’ short-lived innings
came to a close when bowled by Wright and Clarke wrapped up
the innings for 238 dismissing Pattinson.
Following-on 336 behind Rankin struck to dismiss Turner
but Hales and Bravo took the total to 100-1 and after a delay
for bad light Bravo’s wicket heralded an avalanche of late
wickets as Wessels, Mullaney, White and Read all fell in the
final thirty minutes to the bowling of Wright and Rankin, leaving
Nottinghamshire 136-6 at the close.
Clarke got the Bears off to a flying start on the final morning
having Franks caught in the gulley by Metters and quickly
afterwards, Adams played on off a rising delivery from Wright.
Pattinson played on to give Wright his fifth wicket and after
Hales 106* had completed his fourth first-class century, the
dismissal of Fletcher gave the Bears an innings and 114 run
victory to take them to the top of the table.

Match Result: Warwickshire won by an innings and 3 runs
With three debutants in the side, Will Porterfield, (the 500th
player to represent the club in first-class matches since 1894),
Tom Milnes and Maurice Holmes, Warwickshire lost the first toss
of the season and the home side having chosen to bat, found
the opening pair of Naqaash Tahir and Keith Barker difficult to
score against, with Barker collecting the first two wickets to fall
and Steff Piolet then chipping in with two more.
Barker collected a first-class career best of 5-31 while Tahir
1-8 from fifteen overs and Piolet 2-26 restricted the students
batting to a first innings total of 135 when they were finally
dismissed in the fifty fourth over.
Holmes and Maddy took the other wickets and with plenty of
time left in the day, Ian Westwood completed a rapid century as
Warwickshire closed the day on 217-4 with a lead of eighty two
after skipper Jim Troughton had been dismissed just before the
close for fifty one.
Darren Maddy and Steff Piolet went quickly on the second
morning, but Tim Ambrose 95* with good support from Keith
Barker and Tom Milnes helped Warwickshire to a useful total of
387 and a lead of 252 on first innings.
Will Porterfield 500th Player to represent Warwickshire in First Class
Matches since 1894
The opening pair of Deuchar and Roper took seven of the
wickets to fall as Durham began the daunting task of avoiding
the possibility of an innings defeat.
South African born Luc Durandt proved to be more obstinate
in the second innings, completing his maiden first-class century
just before the close of the second day when Durham MCCU
were 190-4 still trailing by sixty two runs with one day to play.
The fifth wicket pair of Luke Blackaby and Luc Durandt had
added eighty four runs before Naqaash Tahir bowled the MCCU
skipper Blackaby for thirty four and despite the efforts of Durandt
the lower order collapsed against the fast medium bowling of
Milnes who finished with four wickets for just fifteen from his
eight overs, including the wicket of Durandt for an impressive
131.
The last five wickets added just twelve runs after play
resumed following a delay for rain.
The final margin was an innings and three runs.

Warwickshire made two changes to the side that
beat Worcestershire in the LV County Championship for
their first CB40 match of the season, with Keith Barker
and Darren Maddy replacing Ian Westwood and Andy
Miller.
An opening partnership of 76 between Adams and
Mybourgh was broken at the end of the twelfth over
when Adams 20 chopped a ball back into his stumps
but Mybourgh continued to be severe on the Bears’
bowling attack reaching 64 from just 67 deliveries
before Darren Maddy moved one away and clipped his
off stump.
James Vince’s run a ball 37 kept Hampshire’s
momentum going before he found Chopra in the deep
off Botha and when Ervine 10 played on off Barker the
Bears looked to be taking control, but a tremendous
unbeaten innings of 87 off just 69 balls from Neil
McKenzie with great support from Liam Dawson 40
helped the Royals to an impressive total of 274-5 from
their forty overs.
Rikki Clarke 59 and Darren Maddy 49 to no avail
47
In reply, Will Porterfield 5 was well caught at second
slip by McKenzie off Jones with the Bears 10-1 and
Keith Barker edged Jones to keeper Bates for one.
Cork bowled Yousaf 11 and after a useful fourth
wicket partnership between Troughton 25 and Chopra
54, both batsmen were dismissed with Warwickshire
111-5 in the twenty third over.
Darren Maddy 49 and Rikki Clarke 59 looked to be
chasing Hampshire’s total down, but both fell within the
space of sixteen runs, leaving the Bears requiring sixty
from just thirty four deliveries.
Ant Botha picked out Dawson on the deep squareleg
boundary and Rich Johnson was bowled by Jones
with the final delivery of his spell, finishing with 4-52
After several big shots, Chris Woakes was left
needing to score ten off the final two deliveries and
despite hitting the penultimate delivery for six, he could
manage just a single from the final ball to leave the
Royals winners by just 2 runs.

After the defeat at the Rose Bowl in their opening
CB40 match of the season last week, the Bears were
anxious to get the defence of their title back on track
against the Leicestershire Foxes at Edgbaston.
Jim Troughton won the toss and with Varun Chopra
continuing to enjoy a superb start to the season, his
faith in his batsmen was rewarded as the Bears posted
a challenging total of 294-5 from their forty overs after
Chopra had made 115.
With William Porterfield 32, Chopra helped the
Bears to an opening stand of fifty five but it was the
partnership of 116 with Mohammad Yousaf 56, that
really set Warwickshire up and when the former Pakistan
captain had been caught in the deep, Rikki Clarke’s 39
from 25 deliveries maintained their excellent start.
Chopra was finally dismissed for 115, the third time
already this season he had reached three figures and in
doing establishing a personal best.
A late flurry from Maddy and Troughton helped the
Bears reach 294-5.
Josh Cobb and Jacques du Toit got the Foxes off to
a flyer at eight an over until a brilliant running catch by
Troughton off Clarke’s bowling, removed Cobb.
James Taylor who had made a century in the last
encounter between the sides came to the wicket and
with a variety of supporting partners, edged the Foxes
ever closer to achieving an unlikely victory.
Maurice Holmes on debut took two wickets
including that of Paul Nixon with a sharp return catch,
finishing with 2-47.
Boyce 48 with Taylor took Leicestershire into
a strong position, but when Taylor was bowled,
immediately after completing his century, the Foxes
hopes of victory faltered with them and tight bowling
from Maddy and Woakes at the death, brought the
Bears victory, by the narrow margin of 9 runs.
Varun Chopra reaches his century Mohammad Yousaf makes 56 Crucial wicket Taylor bowled by Chris

Winning the toss and fielding, Warwickshire picked
up an early wicket when Andrew Miller caught and
bowled Peters when completing an opening wicket
maiden and after some lusty blows, Vaas 31 pulled
Darren Maddy to Rikki Clarke at mid-wicket.
Steelbacks’ wicketkeeper Niall O’Brien completed
an attacking half-century before being caught and
bowled by Maddy before Alex Wakely 27 chipped Miller
to Bell at mid-wicket. Sales in subdued mood went to
fifty while White 47 pulled Chris Woakes to Keith Barker
on the cover boundary breaking a fifth-wicket stand of
eighty two. David Sales finished unbeaten on 60 as the
hosts posted 238 for 5 from their 40 overs.
Chasing 239, the Bears lost Varun Chopra in the
first over when he edged Vaas to O’Brien and Barker
followed soon afterwards when his attempted drive over
extra cover was mis-hit to the cover boundary where
Wakely took the catch.
49
Things got worse when Porterfield was run out by
James Middlebrook’s throw to O’Brien, after the opener
reacted slowly to a call for the run from his skipper.
This brought together Ian Bell and Mohammad
Yousaf who each completed half-centuries while adding
158 for the fourth wicket before Bell was run out by
Peters at point.
After looking to be coasting to a comfortable win,
suddenly the Bears were struggling and off the first ball
of the batting power play, Rikki Clarke departed for eight
to Willey and then Maddy’s mistimed drive to Hall off
Vaas, after a quick-fire twenty five, put the home side
firmly on top.
Wicketkeeper Richard Johnson departed without
facing a ball, run out and Willey bowled both Miller and
Maurice Holmes to seal victory by 18 runs.
The Bears lost their last seven wickets for just 45
runs and it means Northants maintain their 100 per cent
record in this year’s competition.

Jim Troughton returned to skipper the Bears at
Grace Road and after missing the last two weeks with a
shoulder injury put the Foxes into bat after winning the
toss.
The Foxes captained by James Taylor, lost du Toit,
12 to a superb one handed catch by Ambrose off Miller,
before a partnership of sixty two between Taylor and the
hard hitting Josh Cobb looked to be putting them into a
strong position until Taylor was run out by a smart piece
of fielding from Darren Maddy for thirty two.
Cobb completed his half century, but was then
deceived by a slower delivery from Piolet, while Paul
Best, on List A debut, drew an out of touch Matthew
Boyce down the wicket to have him stumped by
Ambrose for ten.
The introduction of Darren Maddy 4-29 into
the attack virtually signalled the end of any further
resistance from the inexperienced Foxes line-up, as he
removed White and Dixey cheaply, before Best caught
51
Kadir Ali 60 and the innings capitulated to 205-9 from
their forty overs.
In reply the Bears’ opening pair of Varun Chopra
and William Porterfield took total control, scoring freely
to all parts of the ground and quickly putting the final
result beyond doubt while setting a new record opening
partnership in 40 over cricket for the Bears when
reaching 181 passing Amiss and Jameson’s record set
way back in 1973.
With both batsmen in reach of a century, Porterfield
was bowled by Henderson for 95 trying to get there with
a six and Chopra went, again to Henderson, chipping a
return catch for 86.
Troughton and Yousaf were in no hurry and they
confidently saw the Bears home to an eight wicket
victory.
Varun Chopra and Will Porterfield put on 189 for first wicket Darren Maddy leads the attack with four wickets

Put into bat by the Bears’ skipper Jim Troughton,
Durham made a poor start losing openers Phil Mustard
and Kyle Coetzer to Andy Miller with only twenty nine runs
on the board.
A partnership of one hundred and fifty seven
between Ben Stokes and Gordon Muchall recovered
the situation for the visitors before Darren Maddy had
Muchall 65 brilliantly caught in the deep by Rikki Clarke.
Undeterred, Stokes completed a maiden List A
century finishing unbeaten on 150 including seven sixes
while skipper Dale Benkenstein made forty four and the
Durham innings closed on 286 from their forty overs.
Requiring their highest total batting second in
the history of forty over cricket at Edgbaston cricket,
Warwickshire’s opening pair of Varun Chopra and
Varun Chopra loses his bat Will Porterfield cuts loose
William Porterfield continued in much the same vein as
the previous week at Grace Road, Leicester, posting
a partnership of one hundred and forty four before
Porterfield 80 was well caught at fine leg off Mitch
Claydon.
There was a wobble after the opening pair were
separated, when Jim Troughton 1 picked out Raine
at mid and Varun Chopra 83 was lbw to Breese, but
Mohammad Yousaf and Darren Maddy’s unbroken fourth
wicket partnership of one hundred and nine took the
Bears home to victory with over three overs to spare.
Yousaf, timing the ball to perfection, finished unbeaten on
seventy four and Maddy, in typically aggressive manner
hit a rapid forty four, as the Bears showed the sort of form
that had captured the title in this competition last season.

Scotland won the toss in this rain restricted match at
the Grange Edinburgh and chose to bat losing Coetzer
for a duck to Carter in the opening maiden over of the
innings.
Calum MacLeod was next to go, lbw to Woakes
after scoring sixteen from just fifteen deliveries and when
Clarke had Worker 27 caught by Johnson the home side
were in trouble on 51-3
Wickets continued to fall at regular intervals, as
Scotland tried to accelerate against the accurate Bears
attack, with Davey and Watts lbw to the spinners, Botha
and Patel, while McCallum was caught in the deep by
Porterfield off Patel with two overs to go.
The innings ended with a very achievable total of
120-7 from the twenty two overs and in reply the opening
partnership of Chopra and Carter made a solid start
before becoming frustrated as the Scottish bowlers
53
applied the pressure and slowed the run rate down.
Chopra 14 holed out to Josh Davey who then
bowled Porterfield 3 in his next over and when a silly call
resulted in Neil Carter 17 running himself out, the Bears
were suddenly wobbling.
It got no better as the entire middle order collapsed
and with the Bears in freefall at 86-8 and just three overs
remaining, Ant Botha did his best to salvage victory from
the jaws of almost certain defeat.
Some outstanding long handled hitting saw him
make forty five runs from just twenty four balls with two
fours and three sixes, but requiring four to tie and five to
win off the last ball from Scotland’s skipper Drummond,
he could only dig a full delivery out before being run out
to give Scotland victory by four runs.
Two wickets for Rikki Clarke Jim Troughton only one of four batsmen to reach double figures

Having won the toss, Warwickshire saw Arafat strike
twice in the sixth over, with Carter caught at deep squareleg
and Varun Chopra snapped up at backward point
- both by Matthew Spriegel.
William Porterfield was caught at the wicket four
overs later off Tim Linley, but Tim Ambrose, who
made 39, then shared in stands of 53 and 55 with Jim
Troughton and Rikki Clarke respectively.
Warwickshire only sparked into life when former
Surrey man Clarke came to the crease in the 23rd over,
following the loss of Troughton to Zafar Ansari’s left-arm
spin, lifting Ansari over extra cover for a maximum on his
way to a 51-ball half-century.
Arafat’s return to the attack produced the wicket
of Ambrose, who, backing away, was bowled by the
Pakistan all-rounder, but Clarke and Chris Woakes added
55 in five overs, during which Clarke clipped Arafat over
wide long-on for six.
Runs by Jim Troughton, Rikki Clarke and Tim Ambrose fail to gain victory
Arafat had Woakes caught at extra cover and Clarke
at deep midwicket as the innings closed on 225-8 a total
that appeared well short of par on a small ground.
Surrey’s reply got off to the worst possible start when
Rory Hamilton-Brown was bowled for a duck by Jeetan
Patel and Jason Roy danced down the pitch to Woakes
and cut the ball on to his stumps.
Steven Davies was caught at short extra cover for
23 off a leading edge, but Tom Maynard, with 39, and
De Bruyn then set about laying the foundations for a
successful assault.
Surrey were up against it when Maynard, Matthew
Spriegel and Arafat all fell to catches in the deep but
Ansari’s 22 in 16 deliveries, which included two pulled
sixes, finally provided the impetus his side needed and
De Bruyn completed the job in tandem with Schofield,
who finished unbeaten on thirteen.

After winning the toss and batting the Bears lost an
early wicket when Varun Chopra 4 advanced to Chris
Wood and only succeeded in giving Jimmy Adams a
catch in the covers.
Neil Carter and William Porterfield then added sixty
seven for the second wicket with Carter completing
his fifty after a flurry of boundaries, but was then lbw to
Briggs.
Porterfield 41 chipped Imran Tahir into the hands of
Vince at long off as the Bears reached the mid innings
point on 122-3 and Vince took another superb onehanded
catch at extra cover to remove Tim Ambrose off
Ervine.
Jim Troughton and Rikki Clarke played well taking
the total past 200 with Troughton completing a halfcentury
before being caught at long on by off Tahir.
Keith Barker picked out Wood on the long off
boundary as the wickets started to tumble in the batting
power play and after some big hitting from Clarke Botha
Rikki Clarke 63 and Jim Troughton 61 set the Bears on course to victory
55
steepled a catch to Briggs to give Wood a second
wicket.
Clarke pulled to deep square leg in the final over
before Warwickshire closed on 273-8
In reply, Hampshire lost Adams to a Chopra catch
at cover off Woakes but a partnership of 116 between
James Vince 82 and Sean Ervine 47 was broken when
Patel trapped Ervine lbw after hitting the previous ball for
six. This brought a change in fortune for Hampshire as
wickets tumbled to the spinners Botha 1-33 and Patel
3-41 who destroyed the middle order.
Woakes bowled Mascarenhas while Barker picked
up the wickets of Howell and Wood as Hampshire
slipped further and further behind the required rate.
Steff Piolet had Briggs stumped by Ambrose and
victory was confirmed when Troughton’s direct hit was
too accurate for Imran Tahir and the Hampshire innings
closed on 222 from 39.2 overs leaving the Bears victors
by 51 runs.

The Bears won the toss at the Emirates, Chesterle-Street
and chose to bat with Varun Chopra and Neil
Carter finding runs difficult, posting just twenty five from
the first seven overs before Carter 16 was caught behind
by Mustard off Claydon.
Varun Chopra 34 and William Porterfield then added
fifty eight for the second wicket and after Chopra had
fallen lbw to Paul Collingwood, Jim Troughton 50 and
Porterfield 74 added one hundred and seven until they
fell off consecutive deliveries from Claydon caught in
each case by Ian Blackwell at mid-off.
Chris Woakes failed to score, but a late sixth wicket
of forty four between Keith Barker 29* and Rikki Clarke
17* helped the Bears to a final total of 240 from their forty
overs.
In reply Phil Mustard and Mike Di Venuto got the
home side off to a flyer, posting an opening partnership
of one hundred and ten with both men completing half
centuries before Keith Barker had Di Venuto caught off a
top edge by Stef Piolet for fifty three.
The introduction of Chris Metters, making his List A
debut, saw him dismiss Ben Stokes 24 bowled sweeping
and Gordon Muchall 2 lbw but Mustard continued in
dominant form, completing his century from just ninety
deliveries and passing his previous career best of 108
and with the experienced Paul Collingwood, took Durham
to within sixteen of victory before losing Collingwood for
sixteen and then Dale Benkenstein 6, eight runs later.
Mustard finished unbeaten on a superb 129 not out
as Durham completed a five wicket victory.

Before play commenced both sides and officials
lined up for a minute silence in memory of Neal Abberley
Batting first after winning the toss, Surrey got off to
a flyer, racing to fifty four before Steven Davies chipped
loosely to Varun Chopra off Keith Barker to give the Bears
their first breakthrough.
The fall of wicket brought Jason Roy to the wicket
and he proceeded to bat beautifully, scoring a maiden
List A century from ninety three balls and with Rory
Hamilton-Brown, 33, Surrey raced to ninety six in the
tenth over before two wickets from Rikki Clarke brought
the Bears back on track.
Tom Maynard 28 and Matt Spriegel 40 gave
useful support to Roy as Surrey raced along posting a
competitive 282-7 from their forty overs as they looked to
consolidate their position at the head of Division B of the
CG40 table.

In reply Warwickshire quickly lost Varun Chopra 11
off Dernbach bringing Shiv Chanderpaul to the wicket for
his first match for the Bears.
When he clipped Arafat to Hamilton-Brown for
seventeen he headed a collapse that saw Neil Carter 13,
William Porterfield 2 and Jim Troughton 13 all fall lbw to
Spriegel as the innings teetered on 61-5.
Tim Ambrose 5 was caught by Roy off Dernbach
and after a couple of lusty sixes barker holed out in the
deep to de Bruyn off Ansari.
Rikki Clarke was run out for twenty after a complete
misunderstanding with Stef Piolet while Chris Metters 1
went quickly, edging Jade Dernbach to Davies with the
Bears 134-9.
A spirited thirty nine from Stef Piolet took the Bears
on to 152 before he was bowled by Batty to leave Surrey
winners by 130 runs.

With the Bears including their two Test stars, Ian
Bell and Jonathan Trott for the final CB40 match of the
season at Edgbaston, hopes were high that the home
fans would see the them round off a disappointing
one-day season in style against local rivals, the
Northamptonshire Steelbacks.
Dave Burton had other ideas, as he dismissed both
Trott lbw and Carter, bowled, for ducks, in the very first
over of the match, after Jim Troughton had won the toss
and batted. Burton had previously taken just two wickets
in limited overs cricket.
Burton collected a third wicket, courtesy of a fine
running catch from Sam Sweeney when Ian Bell’s
mistimed drive hung in the breeze and Sweeney took the
catch running towards the City End when Bell had made
an attractive twenty six from twenty two deliveries.
Willey bowled Troughton 3 while the introduction of
young spinner Tom Brett at the Pavilion End saw a spell
of eight overs for just twenty nine runs and two wickets,
as he removed Porterfield 30 and Clarke 5.
Ateeq Javid top scored with thirty four, but Andrew
Hall wrapped up the Bears’ innings as they were bowled
out for 145 with nine deliveries remaining.
In reply, Wakely 34 and Willey 23 raced to forty five
for the first wicket in seven overs and when Rikki Clarke
took three wickets in the space of five balls the Bears’
hopes of a improbable victory were raised, but Kyle
Coetzer with skipper Andrew Hall quickly scuppered
them with a fifth wicket partnership of fifty eight before
Clarke returned to collect his fourth wicket when bowling
Hall for twenty four.
Coetzer, playing for his third different team against
Warwickshire in this season’s competition, remained
solid and won the match for the Steelbacks with a six and
in doing completed his own half century to bring them a
five wicket victory with more than eight overs to spare.

Man of the Match: WTS Porterfield
The Bears won the toss and put Durham into bat
but Mustard and Muchall were in attacking form, quickly
posting a half century partnership in the sixth over.
Piolet and Patel slowed the run rate down, despite
Mustard heaving Patel into the stand for six, but Piolet
then collected both openers’ wickets.
Blackwell was in belligerent mood, but Maddy had
Collingwood caught and Carter’s final two overs went for
just eight runs as Durham finally closed on 151-3 from
their twenty overs.
Carter picked up a four and a six in the opening over
but having hit a second six he then tried a reverse sweep
and lobbed a catch gently to short third man.
61
Chopra’s pull off Breese gave Blackwell an easy
catch but Porterfield was in dominating form and brought
up his half century off just thirty deliveries.
Troughton made eighteen from sixteen deliveries
before being caught at long on by Rushworth off Breese
and Maddy 11 perished the same way off Plunkett with
just 22 needed from 26 deliveries.
Porterfield 83 was run out with 1 needed but Clarke
wrapped up a wonderful five wicket opening victory with
a drive for four with eleven balls to spare.

Gale and Bairstow reached 52 in just the fourth over,
before Miller had Bairstow caught and after reaching his
fifty a superb piece of fielding saw Piolet run Gale out.
Maddy picked up Lyth and McGrath’s wickets and had
Brophy caught off a full toss by Barker.
Yorkshire then lost four wickets for just 14 runs to
be 140-6 in the seventeenth over and Carter collected a
second wicket when Rashid was well caught by Clarke
Barker picked up Sidebottom brilliantly caught by a
leaping Clarke as Yorkshire closed on 161-8.
The Bears lost Chopra for four but a partnership of
seventy one for the second wicket got the Bears back on
track. Porterfield completed his half century but with the
Bears needing just forty eight to win he was lbw and then
Maddy went first ball.
Joe Root then had Troughton lbw with another
missed sweep and with six overs to go forty were
needed, but Ambrose and Clarke were in determined
mood and with both men batting superbly they reached
their target with more than two overs to spare to record a
second victory in as many days to make a great start to
their t20 campaign.

Early wickets for Miller put the Bears in charge at
Edgbaston after winning the toss and despite some
lusty shots from Wakely 35, Piolet 3-25 and Patel 3-19
destroyed the Steelbacks’ middle order as they slipped
to 91-8 after just 14.2 overs.
With the Bears appearing to be in total control of the
match, Brooks and Willey then fashioned a partnership of
fifty nine for the ninth wicket helping the Steelbacks reach
a challenging total of 150-8 from their twenty overs.
In reply, Carter was run out going for a second
run, and then the introduction of Botha saw a clatter of
wickets as Troughton, Maddy and Chopra all went lbw
and Porterfield was caught off the South African spinner.
63
Ambrose and Barker took the total on to 87 before
Hall bowled Barker for nine and then Ambrose 25 in the
same over to leave the Bears staring down the barrel of
defeat.
Patel was caught on the long on boundary off Vaas
as Warwickshire finally reached three figures in the
seventeenth over before Piolet was bowled by Hall to
leave the Steelbacks victors by forty runs after recording
their lowest ever total in their t20 history, 110 all out in just

After a cautious start, the Nottinghamshire Outlaws
equalled the second highest total the Bears had ever
conceded.
Wessels launched into Carter’s second over and
with seven fours and four sixes he made seventy from
just forty three deliveries before failing to beat Maddy’s
accurate return throw.
Botha had Voges caught and despite picking up
Mullaney, Read and Patel reasonably cheaply, Hussey’s
half century towards took the Outlaws to a total of 193-7.
Chopra was the first to go in the second over and
Carter was run out after a mix up with Porterfield, who
followed soon afterwards.
Troughton added fifty four for the fourth wicket with
Maddy, who then completed his half century before being
caught and Barker then followed next ball.
Chasing an improbable victory, Clarke gave Fletcher
a return catch and Botha was caught on the mid wicket
boundary leaving the Bears to make 34 from the final
over as Patterson had Piolet caught off the first ball.
Chasing every run Ambrose was caught on the cover
boundary off Patterson who finished with 5-25 from his
four overs as the Bears were dismissed for 165 off the
final ball of the match to lose by twenty eight runs.

Woakes’ return to the side was greeted by Wessels
hitting his first delivery for six before getting revenge
having him caught by Troughton.
A stand of eighty three between Hales and Voges
was in danger of putting the match out of the Bears’
reach until Piolet removed both Voges and Hussey.
Darren Maddy bowled Hales and then picked up
Read’s wicket to a Woakes catch before some late hitting
from Samit Patel took the Outlaws to a final total of 173-6
from their twenty overs.
Darren Patterson struck with his first ball when
Chopra edged him to Read and after a couple of
boundaries Fletcher bowled Porterfield with the final ball
of the second over.

Neil Carter followed lbw for seventeen missing an
attempted sweep off Fletcher and when Maddy returned
a catch to Mullaney the task was beginning to look
beyond them.
Troughton drove Patel into the hands of Voges while
Clarke followed, miscuing Mullaney with the Bears 104-6.
Chris Woakes played some aggressive strokes
towards the end of the innings but the target was
too great and despite him making forty four from just
nineteen deliveries, the Bears innings finally closed on
163-7 a losing margin of ten runs.

After winning the toss and fielding, at the County
Ground, Jim Troughton’s bowlers put the pressure on
the Steelbacks using the slow wicket to good effect
as wickets fell and runs were at an absolute premium
throughout the home side’s innings.
Newton was first to go top edging Woakes for
Ambrose to take the catch. Wakely and Hall followed
cheaply as the frustration of the pitch began to tell and
when White, Peters and Middlebrook were all back in the
pavilion for less than fifty on the board to the accurate
Piolet and Patel, Northants fans were already sensing the
inevitable.
Botha and Murphy gave the total some respectability
before Barker mopped up the last two wickets with
consecutive deliveries with Northants dismissed for 96.
Barker 3-18, Patel 3-19, Woakes 2-15 and Piolet 2-17
shared the wickets for the Bears.
In reply Carter went early and Porterfield was
stumped off Middlebrook before Maddy and Chopra
added forty two runs for the third wicket until attempting a
quick single, Chopra was run out by Peters’ throw.
Maddy eventually holed out with just five runs needed
but Troughton unbeaten on thirteen steered the Bears
home to victory by six wickets with ten balls to spare.

On an evening when rain remained a permanent
threat, but never actually materialised, winning the toss
and batting for the first time this season the Bears lost
Neil Carter early after Worcestershire had put the Bears
into bat.
A half century from William Porterfield and useful
contributions from Rikki Clarke and Chris Woakes
provided support to an aggressive forty four from Tim
Ambrose, as the Bears raced through the rain to reach
184-6 from their twenty overs.
In reply, Vikram Solanki gave the Royals a flying start
and despite wickets falling at regular intervals to Woakes
67
2-43 and Piolet 3-29, they kept up with the required rate,
however when reaching 96-6 in the twelfth it looked as if
the task would be beyond them.
Gareth Andrew had other ideas and with Ben Scott
added thirty eight for the seventh wicket and forty three
for the eighth with Choudhry.
When Whelan was bowled off the last ball of the
penultimate over, four were needed, but with Andrew in
belligerent mood, he smashed Neil Carter’s first delivery
out of the ground for six to bring the Royals a third
consecutive victory and to finish unbeaten on sixty five
with four fours and four sixes.

Mahmood took wickets with consecutive deliveries in
his first over; having Carter caught attempting a pull and
then trapping Chopra lbw, with his next delivery.
Porterfield was caught at backward point off Procter
and when Maddy’s attempted sweep saw him lbw to
Parry the Bears were 46-4 after seven overs.
Parry then bowled Clarke before Keedy had
Ambrose smartly caught behind attempting a cut which
Troughton copied off Parry’s bowling.
Barker was caught in the deep to give Parry a
fourth wicket and Woakes was bowled attempting to hit
Maharoof into the stands.
At 93-9, the Bears were facing their worst ever score
in t20 cricket and despite a spirited twenty from Piolet
Not a good day at the office
the Bears were all out for 109 from 19-2 over, their lowest
ever t20 total.
It was also the lowest ever total for a side batting
first at Edgbaston in t20 with Parry finishing with 4-23 and
Mahmood 3-13.
In reply Lancashire came out of the traps flying and
never looked to be troubled as Moore 52* and Smith 58*
inflicted the worst defeat in the club’s history after striking
seven sixes and four fours in their unbroken partnership
that condemned the Bears to their fourth successive
home defeat in the competition this season.

Yorkshire won the toss and put the Bears into bat
on an evening when the rain gradually increased as the
game went on.
Despite the poor weather forecast, there was a
large crowd of spectators for the match and they had an
early disappointment when Jonathan Trott, playing in a
rare game for the Bears this season, was run out when
he and Neil Carter failed to communicate and Anthony
Gayle’s throw to the non striker’s end saw Trott short of
his ground with just a single to his name.
After a tentative beginning Carter hit three
boundaries and a six before Rafiq bowled him for twenty
69
five. Shahzad then bowled Darren Maddy 9 and William
Porterfield was caught brilliantly by Rafiq on the deep
mid-wicket boundary off Richard Pyrah for a quick fire
thirty six.
Pyrah then bowled Rikki Clarke but skipper Jim
Troughton 49* was in fine form before the rain brought
play to a halt with twelve deliveries of the innings
remaining and the Bears on 138-5
With the skies filled in and no prospect of any
resumption, the match was finally abandoned as a no
result at 8.00 p.m. with the rain still lashing down.

The early loss of Neil Carter gave the Bears an early
hiccup at Leek after Derbyshire’s skipper Luke Sutton
had won the toss and put them into bat on a relatively
small out ground but with a healthy sized crowd of
spectators.
When Varun Chopra was run out and William
Porterfield followed soon afterwards to a sharp return
catch from Jonathan Clare, the Bears were 33-3 but Jim
Troughton and Darren Maddy 21 got the innings back
on track but, albeit, slowly, against the accurate slow
bowling of Durston, Hughes and Knight.
Maddy was finally stumped off Hughes but Rikki
Clarke joined his captain, who completed a half century
A good crowd enjoying the sunshine at Highfield Leek
taking the Bears to a final total of 137 with Troughton 55
and Clarke 25 unbeaten at the close.
Had Derbyshire held on to three relatively simple
catches during the course of the innings it could have
been far worse for the Bears.
A half century opening partnership between Guptill
72 from 44 balls and Durston was broken when Piolet
trapped Durston lbw but despite a great catch from Piolet
to remove Hughes, the home side were always in control
completing a comfortable victory by 6 wickets with seven
deliveries to spare.

Troughton won the toss again at Edgbaston and
put the Falcons into bat on a night that saw Carter
omitted from the Bears’ side to miss his first ever
match in Warwickshire t20 cricket after 87 consecutive
appearances.
Guptil hit a rapid thirty eight, including three sixes
while fellow opener Durston 64 batted solidly throughout
the innings until caught off the final ball of the innings.
An opening partnership of eighty three in just eight
overs was broken when Guptil was stumped off a wide
from Botha.
Despite a mid-order wobble, Derbyshire had wickets
in hand and with Park and Whiteley giving good support
Park lbw to Darren Maddy for 14 Smith bowled Stefan Piolet 1
71
to Durston they accelerated towards the close of the
innings to post a total of 162-5 from their twenty overs.
Chopra and Maddy opened and with the threat
of rain requiring the Bears to keep an eye on the D/L
an early wicket came when Maddy was caught off
Groenewald’s first delivery.
Chopra raced to forty from only nineteen balls before
slapping a drive straight to Durston off Jones and from
then on wickets fell at regular intervals to the Falcons
spinners as the Bears from 65-2 slipped to 129 all out
with sixteen deliveries still remaining.

Worcestershire won the toss and chose to bat on a
bright but breezy evening at New Road where winning
was an absolute necessity.
The Bears made a fantastic start to the game, when
Manuel cut straight to Porterfield at point in Woakes’
opening over and then Ali was stumped off Patel’s
second delivery of the next over.
5-2 in the second, Kervezee 13 and Shakib added
thirty two before a good low catch at long on by Woakes
off Barker brought Kervezee’s innings to a close.
Shakib and Mitchell followed to the bowling of Botha
and Piolet respectively and despite a careful innings of
thirty seven from Cameron, Worcester struggled on a
desperately slow wicket closing on 112-7.
The Bears lost both openers early and after
Porterfield was run out, the middle order found progress
difficult against some accurate Royals’ bowling.
Troughton and Clarke were bowled, while Woakes
and Barker were lbw to balls that kept low, before Botha
was stumped charging Saeed looking to accelerate the
scoring rate.
Ambrose and Piolet added twenty nine from twenty
seven deliveries in an unbeaten ninth wicket partnership,
but despite defending a moderate total, Worcestershire
held on to inflict a six run defeat on the Bears.
An early breakthrough as Ali is stumped for 1 Tim Ambrose leads a fight back but too late

Smith and Moore picked up from where they’d left
off in the t20 match at Edgbaston, posting sixty five
before Smith was brilliantly caught at long off by a diving
Clarke off Botha.
Maddy took the wicket of Croft with the first delivery
of his spell but Moore completed his fifty while Botha
removed Brown with the final ball of his spell.
Maharoof was stumped charging Maddy signalling
a collapse as five wickets fell for just twelve runs to close
on 139-8 with two wickets each for Botha, Woakes and
Maddy.
Opening the Bears’ response, William Porterfield and
Varun Chopra posted a half century opening partnership
before Chopra was bowled by Parry in the seventh over,

Porterfield completed his fifty and shared in
another half century partnership with Barker who was
then bowled attempting a reverse sweep and with the
overs running out Porterfield was caught by Procter off
Maharoof in the deep.
Troughton was dropped next ball by Moore and with
two overs remaining, the Bears needed twenty three to
win, but after losing Clarke attempting a big pull, they
were always short and ended up on 127-4, losing by
twelve runs as Lancashire qualified for the quarter-finals.

Chopra gave the Bears a perfect start to their final
FLt20 match of the season, before pulling Henderson
to square leg but Carter picked up from where Chopra
left off until he lobbed an easy catch behind to give
Henderson a second wicket.
Porterfield and Troughton added seventy one from
eight overs and with the Bears looking set for a really
large total, the introduction of Razzaq brought three late
wickets as Woakes, Barker and Botha all perished to
catches in the deep as the innings closed on 166-8 with
the rain sweeping in across the ground and the new
floodlights coming into real operation.

Jefferson and Razzaq in the same over.
Taylor and MacDonald then accelerated with some
clean hitting showing why the Foxes were already in the
quarter-finals before they both went with the winning
post in sight. White was up to completing the required
task and with a huge six over mid-wicket wrapped up the
chase with a ball to spare as the Bears disappointing t20
season came to a close.

Second XI Report 2011
2011 was an outstanding season for the ‘Young Bears’.
We had won the 2nd XI Championship for the first time in
15 years. a remarkable achievement for such a young side.
Over the course of the season, the team had matured, they
had learned how to be winners and how solid team cricket
can get you across the finishing line. Laurie Evans and
Ateeq Javid both had outstanding seasons with the bat and
each scored 1100 Championship runs but in many ways it
was the fact that every single player made match winning
contributions was the most pleasing aspect of the season.
We looked a very strong team all year, the batsmen
showing an ability to bat for long periods of time, 10
Championship hundreds showing proof of this. The bowlers
ran in hard throughout the entire season and although Tom
Allin only took 43 wickets, he deserved many more! We
had many positive comments from umpires, opposition
and supporters alike regarding the standard and energy
of our fielding which I know made all the difference in tight
situations.
All the players should be very proud of their
achievements over the course of the season. Statistics are
there as a guide and tell some of the story but the small
details, often unnoticed, along with the unselfish nature of
the cricket we played made the difference.
We have a fantastic group of young players at the club.
Whether they are young contracted players or Academy
players they have proved, yet again, to be a credit to the
club both on and off the field. 2012 will be a challenge for
Second Eleven Championship Winners 2011
everyone as we look to improve again on where we left off
in September.
The end of the season is always a difficult time as we say
goodbye to Naqaash Tahir and Maurice Holmes. Both are
very determined individuals and I have no doubt that they
will forge a successful career wherever that opportunity is.
As always, I would like to thank all the clubs who hosted
us so well over the course of the 2011 season. Also, I
would like to say a personal thanks to Steve Smith, our
scorer, along with Maurice and Colin who have kept the
scoreboards up to date. I would also like to say a huge
thanks to Pete and Mike from Physiokinetics who have
looked after the guys so well and kept them on the park for
the duration of the season. Thanks also to all the members
who have supported us so well all year.
2011 will, unfortunately, be remembered for the sad
passing of a great friend of us all, Neal Abberley. I know
that Ashley, Graeme and myself owe him so much for his
inputs into our own careers, but also the careers of so many
Warwickshire players. as he moves on to that great dressing
room in the sky, I know he will be watching over us and
making sure we look after the interests of the club as well as
he did for the 40 odd years he was involved as a coach. He
would have been so proud of the 2nd XI in winning the 2nd
XI Championship... it is just a shame he wasn’t around to
celebrate the success with us!

WARWICKSHIRE 2ND XI V LANCASHIRE 2ND XI
at Knowle & Dorridge C.C. August 2nd
Lancashire won by 39 runs
Warwickshire won the toss and invited Lancashire to
bat first at Knowle and Dorridge C.C. in the latest Second
Eleven Trophy match and when the visitors were 180-2 after
29 overs, they must have had a few reservations about their
decision.
Lewis Reece 50 and Agathangelou 45 put Lancashire
into a strong position, but Warwickshire hit back, with
Naqaash Tahir 4-39 leading the way, while being well
supported by Maurice Holmes and Ateeq Javid with two
wickets each, they restricted Lancashire to 240-9 from their
forty overs.
In reply, Warwickshire slipped to 70-4 before Hain 41
and Javid 58 gave the innings a boost, but with Lancashire
keeping a tight grip, the innings closed on 202 from just 37
overs leaving Lancashire victors by thirty nine runs.
Warwickshire Captain Ateeq Javid among the runs

Winning the toss and batting at King Edward’s School
Warwickshire lost Jonathan Webb to the first ball of the
innings and Sam Hain followed to the third.
Only a seventh wicket partnership between Coleman
37 and Piolet 23 gave the innings any substance before it
closed on 96. Siddall 4-17 and Beavan 3-0 were the main
wicket takers.
In reply the Unicorns quickly chased down the total, led
by Michael Thornly 56 completing their task in just 14.3
overs to record a facile victory. For Warwickshire Maurice

WARWICKSHIRE 2ND XI V WORCESTERSHIRE 2ND XI
at Ombersley C.C. May 24th
GAME 1 Worcestershire won by 8 wickets
After winning the toss and batting in the first match of the
day, Warwickshire began well reaching 47-0 and after losing
a wicket moved on to 87-1 with Jonathan Webb 36 and
Richard Johnson 26 leading the way, before collapsing to
124-9 from their twenty overs.
A strong Worcestershire side, quickly chased down the
total, in 15-5 overs for the loss of just two wickets with Matt
Pardoe unbeaten on fifty eight.
GAME 2 Worcestershire won by 77 runs
Worcestershire won the second toss of the day, and
batted, reaching an impressive 222-5 from their twenty
overs, with Moeen Ali making ninety three and Jack Manuel
unbeaten on fifty eight.
Warwickshire made a poor start to their response
slipping to 26-5 and then 48-7 before Ateeq Javid’s

from their twenty overs, but suffering a second defeat of the
day this time by seventy seven runs.
WARWICKSHIRE 2ND XI V SOMERSET 2ND XI
at Olton & West Warwickshire C.C. May 26th
GAME 1 No result
The rain ruined the opening match of the double-header
t20 competition against Somerset after Somerset had made
a strong start reaching 117-1 after just 11 overs before the
rain brought the players from the field and they were unable
to get back on before the allotted time for the first match
was complete. Sam Mount from the Somerset Academy
made an unbeaten seventy five for Somerset from 35
deliveries while Thornley scored thirty three. Both sides took
one point.
GAME 2 Warwickshire won by 2 runs (D/L)
In the second match the rain again had an influence,
reducing the match to a fourteen overs per side match
and after winning the toss Warwickshire made 157-7 with
Freddie Coleman 31, Steff Piolet 24* and Ateeq Javid 23 the
top scorers. Waller 3-26 and Meschede 2-26 were amongst
the wickets.
Somerset were set a D/L adjusted target of 155 from
their fourteen overs and again Thornley 62 was in form and
Meschede 35 took the visitors to within three runs of victory
before the innings closed on 152-6 from their fourteen
overs.
WARWICKSHIRE 2ND XI V GLAMORGAN 2ND XI
at the SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff. June 6th
GAME 1 Warwickshire won by 6 wickets
95
The Bears won the toss in the first of the two double
header t20 matches at the SWALEC Stadium and put
Glamorgan into bat and only the experienced Michael
Powell 40, ever really got going against some accurate
bowling from Basit Zaman 2-16, Ian Westwood 2-19 and
Ateeq Javid with 2-38.
In reply, an opening partnership of sixty between Laurie
Evans 26 and Jonathan Webb 33 set the Bears on their way
to a victory achieved with just one delivery to spare with
Javid unbeaten on thirty, and with eight needed off the final
over, he saw his side home with a ball to spare, reaching
140-4.
GAME 2 Glamorgan won by 15 runs
Again, Warwickshire won the toss, but this time put
Glamorgan into bat and they soon lost Jim Allenby who was
run out without facing a ball.
James 69 and Dan Roberts 40* stabilized the innings
with a stand of 106 for the fifth wicket, as Glamorgan ended
on 168 for five.
The Bears made good early progress against the
Glamorgan attack and after Glover, bowled Evans for 20,
Webb maintained the momentum reaching his half century
from 41 balls, but the complexion of the game dramatically
changed in the 16th over, with a hat-trick from James, as
Warwickshire nosedived from 115/2 to 115/5.
Despite some late blows from the visitor’s tail, James’
hat-trick ended the Warwickshire run-chase as Glamorgan
won by 15 runs.
Warwickshire 2nd XI v Gloucestershire 2nd XI at
Coventry & North Warwickshire C.C. June 8th
GAME 1 Gloucestershire won by 7 wickets (D/L)
On a day when rain interrupted play Warwickshire won
the toss in the opening match, reduced to 19 overs per
side, and batted first with Laurie Evans in good form making
an aggressive half-century.
In reply, Gloucestershire with an experienced squad,
raced to their D/L target making 138-3 from just 14.1 overs
to claim victory and with it, eliminating any faint hopes
Warwickshire still clung onto of qualifying for the Semi finals
and Final stages of the competition.
GAME 2 Gloucestershire won by 6 runs (D/L)
In the second game, again rain affected and reduced to
17 overs per side, Gloucestershire won the toss and batted,
making 151-8 from their seventeen overs.
Warwickshire had an adjusted target of 148 to reach
under the D/L system, but fell seven runs short, closing
on 141-8 with Ateeq Javid 37 and Basit Zaman making an
unbeaten twenty one.

Tours of Edgbaston by Alan Oakman (Tours Co-ordinator)
With the completion of the new Pavilion, there was
immense interest by Members when shown the inside of
the building. They had watched it being erected during
2010 and were keen to see the interior. They came in great
numbers and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Visitors
were also impressed and many groups said they would
consider membership for 2012. On occasions, such large
parties made it difficult to keep together, especially in the
narrow corridors when many were left behind when visiting
the cloakroom. On occasions the mobile phone proved its
worth when friends asked “where are you?”. The hands-on
Visitor’s Centre proved of interest to all age groups. The
jewel in the crown was the Press Box and the Skyline
Terrace. All in all, successful and enjoyable tours.
Visitors were particularly interested when Head Steward,
Dave Bridge explained the complexity of the Police Control
area room and how well organised they were should any
Edgbaston Visitor Centre
problems arise either in the new pavilion, or anywhere
else on the ground. Our thanks also to the First Team
scorer, David Wainwright, who explained his additional
responsibilities, along with Scoreboard Controller, Colin
McKenzie.
Schools continued to attend on match days and it is
no secret that, although they look forward to watching
Warwickshire play, they really enjoy the “Cricketing
Experience” in the Indoor School.

Thanks to Rick Coleman, Breeze and, on the odd
occasion when we required more guides, Clive Snelleksz
and Jim Carr.

Warwickshire CCC Academy Report
The 2010/11 season saw eleven players as part of the full
time Warwickshire Academy;
Jonathon Webb, Usman Shabir, Freddie Coleman, Ben
Williams, Jack Cornick, Basit Zaman, Shozair Ali, Tom
Payne, Tom Burton, Sam Hain, Pete McKay
The aim of the Academy is to produce a production line
of first class cricketers for Warwickshire and the players live
by a set of behaviours and values that are identical to the
professional playing staff. There are lots of opportunities for
the Academy players integrate with the contracted players
and this really helps them to prepare for the transition to the
first class game.
Throughout the course of last season, no fewer than
seven Academy players played regular 2nd XI cricket;
Webb, Coleman, Williams, Burton, Zaman, Cornick and
Sam Hain; all of whom played major parts in Warwickshire
2nd XI winning the 2nd XI County Championship for the first
time since 1996.
As players fall out of the age group squads, unfortunately
we say goodbye to Jonathan Webb, Freddie Coleman, Ben
Williams and Usman Shabir as they go off to university but
I’m sure they will all have a major impact in 2nd XI cricket
in 2012.
Congratulations must go to Basit Zaman and Pete
McKay who were recognised by being selected in the
England U17 development Squad and also to Shozair Ali,
who after a chronic shin problem, was selected for the
England U19 squad for the winter months.
Congratulations also to the new intake of Academy
players for the 2011/12 season; Mark Best and Jack Grundy
who have shown excellent progress in the Emerging Players
Programme under the guidance of Gary Steer, Amy Jones
who has forced her way into the England Academy and she
is very close to the senior England team and finally Mike
Hingley who joins us from Old Hill CC.
The next few months will be extremely challenging for
our Academy as they have been asked to be the fittest
and most skilful Academy players in the country. I have no
doubt that they will flourish in this environment and give
themselves the best chance of developing a future in the
First Class game with The Bears.
Best wishes to all of them for the season ahead.

Obituary Neal Abberley
NEAL ABBERLEY - THE UNSUNG HERO...
101
Former Warwickshire batsman and batting coach Neal Abberley passed away on 8 August 2011 in hospital aged 67 after a
lengthy struggling against a debilitating lung condition, but he had continued working on a part-time basis almost until the
time of his death. In fact he was still at Edgbaston for Warwickshire’s home County championship match against Sussex as
late as July 2nd.
By his own admission Neal’s 16-year first-class playing record was modest (10,082 runs at an average of 24.47 including
three centuries) he did tour Pakistan with a strong MCC Under-25 side – effectively England A – in 1967, though he suffered
ill health on the trip. Neal used to refer to himself as a “bread and butter cricketer” although he did pass 1,000 runs in
a season three times, his best in 1966 when he made 1,315 runs including his highest score of 117 against Essex at
Edgbaston.
However, it was as a coach that Neal really made his most significant impression on Warwickshire history when he was
asked to take over the management of the Club’s development system in 1980 and went on to serve Warwickshire for more
than 30 years as Second XI coach and more recently with a roving brief working at all levels from senior to youth sides. The
list of players who benefitted from his coaching skills is almost endless.
Flags were lowered to half-mast at Edgbaston for the third England v India Test match, and England batsman Ian Bell, one
of Neal’s many protégés, wore a black arm band throughout the game as a mark of respect for the man who did so much
for his personal career. India’s fielding coach Trevor Penney also played for Warwickshire in the late 1980s, when Abberley
was Warwickshire’s Second XI coach and took the opportunity to pay his respects at the same time.
Warwickshire’s Director of Cricket Ashley Giles was one of many people in the game to pay tributes to Neal.”To me he was
a mentor, a confidante but, most of all, a friend. We knew he was getting a little bit fragile but we didn’t realise how fragile
so his death came as a shock to everyone. When I last spoke to him just a few days before his death his concerns were for
the team, not his own health, which typified Neal. The team always came first. He gave his life to Warwickshire and there
are a lot of players who owe a huge debt of gratitude to him. He got a lot of us through. Without Neal Abberley I would not
be Warwickshire’s director of cricket and I would not have played 54 Tests for England. When I was first met him I was an
18-year-old triallist and I was still wet behind the ears having come from living at home with mum and dad. He helped me to
grow up. He was old school and it was a tough school at times and a steep learning curve but Neal was a great influence on
me, and he set me on the road to where I am now.”
Neal was a tremendously passionate family man, and for him his wife Christine, son Russell and daughter Colette were
everything. A man of solid, traditional values he never did anything just for the glory of it. He always did what he believed to
be right - “firm but fair” was his motto. Those who worked and played alongside Neal always knew what to expect, and it
was this honesty that made such a lasting impression on so many people throughout his life. The vast numbers of people
who crammed into Knowle Parish church on August 22nd to attend the service of thanksgiving for his life are testament to
the qualities of a great man, whose passing will leave a huge void at his beloved Edgbaston for many years to come.

The activities of WOCCA during 2011 were dominated
by the sad and tragic death of our Chairman, Neal Abberley
in August. More details on this and an obituary appear
elsewhere in this report. Suffice to say that Neal’s passing
has left a large void at Edgbaston which will be hard to fill
for many people. We were also saddened by the death
of Jean Dollery, the wife of former Warwickshire captain,
Tom. Jean passed away at the age of 95 at her home in
Edgbaston.
Jean Dollery
During the year the following former Warwickshire players
were invited to become members of the Association;
Imran Tahir and James Ord. Some wonderful research is
being undertaken by Mr. John Jameson into refining and
improving the current WOCCA database. This much more
107
streamlined and concise contact list will make it easier to
maintain links with our former players in the future. A strong
database of email addresses has allowed us to send a
WOCCA newsletter electronically for the first time. Hopefully
we will see an extension of this in the future and be able to
report on an ever increasing membership list year after year.
ANNUAL GOLF CHALLENGE MATCH v WOPA
After the cancellation of the last fixture because of the
Icelandic cloud debacle, the annual contest between the
Warwickshire and Worcestershire ‘old boys’ resumed this
year at Edgbaston Golf Club on Tuesday, 19th April. Like
most ‘old boys’ institutions there are not enough of the
younger generation taking part and this led to only 4 pairs
each representing their respective counties – more of a
problem with WOPA than WOCCA we are pleased to report.
The outcome remained the same as for the last eleven
years – WOCCA won, this time by 3 and a half points
to one half for WOPA. This may seem convincing but an
examination of the individual results shows that three of
the matches could have gone either way. Nevertheless, a
good day was had by all, especially as the weather for once
at this time of year, was ideal for golf, and a big thank you
goes to Edgbaston Golf Club for looking after us so well,
both on the course and in the dining room! Our guests very
much appreciated the hospitality – and so did we. If only
we can lay our hands on the actual trophy now!
Results of the individual matches were:
Geoff Humpage beat Alan Ormrod 1 up
Gladstone Small Ted Hemsley
Dennis Amiss beat John Elliott 7/6
Tom Jameson Brian Hall
Earl Harris beat Martin Weston 1 up
Alex Marshall David Humphries
Neil Smith halved Steve Rhodes A/S
Geoff Tedstone Chris Whelan

PRESIDENT’S DAY
Monday 29 August was the date of this year’s President’s
Day which was held for the very first time in the Committee
Room within the magnificent new Edgbaston Pavilion
development. In his first full year as Club Chairman,
Norman Gascoigne made us extremely welcome and
in response the 2011 WOCCA President, Dennis Amiss
reciprocated in the appropriate manner. It was an
emotional day for many people with our former Chairman
Neal Abberley having passed away only weeks previously,
and the whole event was made even more poignant in
that Neal’s widow Christine and daughter Colette were
in attendance for much of the day. As ever the food and
company were excellent and a terrific social occasion was
enjoyed by all.

Presidents Day
ANNUAL W.O.C.C.A. DINNER
One again we were back in the Committee Room of the
new Pavilion for the annual autumn dinner which followed
the WOCCA Golf day at Edgbaston golf club on Friday
28th October. Only hours before we had received the sad
news that Jean Dollery had passed away in the flat above
the club house, and all present observed a minutes silence
in her memory and as a mark of respect for her and for
Neal Abberley who had passed away in August. There
were some wonderful stories to tell by those present of
their time with Neal as young cricketers, and it was heart
warming to hear what he meant to so many people. The
evening was a great success once again as we were able
to welcome back almost 40 former Warwickshire players
to the Club to enjoy good food, fine wine and excellent
company. Thanks to the marvellous financial support of
Simon Millington from sportshq we were able to run the
dinner at no direct cost to the guests present. Pat Murphy
did a fabulous job as master of ceremonies for the dinner,
and along with MJK Smith, KD Smith and Dougie Brown
we were royally entertained for a 40 minute question and
answer session which covered many aspects of the modern
game. Thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking for
all in attendance.
CHAIRMAN’S REPORT
WOCCA Chairman Jason Ratcliffe
Congratulations to Ashley and the team for a tremendous
season and narrowly missing out on the LV=County
Championship title.
Congratulations also to Colin Povey , his management
team and all involved in the successful completion of the
new pavilion. It looks absolutely fantastic and very fitting.
Thanks to all of the WOCCA committee in advance for
the year ahead. My Chairmanship comes after the sad and
sudden loss of Neal. Having been my coach and friend
since 13 years of age, his loss has certainly left a chasm for
me and many involved in the club.
It’s always hard to replace people with so much pride,
passion, dedication and experience. The club are fortunate
to have a good coaching team, all with a long Warwickshire
history and whom were all brought on by Abbers, to carry
the team forward long into the future and mirror the success
they attained as players.
I’m proud to be back involved with the Club. Despite
several years away with Surrey, this has always been my
club and I will do my best to follow in Abbers footsteps and
keep WOCCA healthy, strong and importantly playing a
relevant role in the present day by adding value to the club
wherever it can.
Thanks to the club for supporting all of our events and
particularly Keith Cook and our President Dennis Amiss, for
their unstinting support of WOCCA and Warwickshire CCC
generally.

Edgbaston Cricket Centre Report by Nick Archer (General Manager)
2010/2011 was another successful year for The
Edgbaston Cricket Centre, with the majority of
its business coming from net hire, by clubs and
individuals, and group coaching programmes, for 10
to 15 year olds, which were fully subscribed. One to
one sessions continued to be popular, players from all
age groups (including Adults) benefiting from expert
coaching by Dave Cowper, John Griffiths, Rajiv Sen
and Graham Warner.
The Centre hosted the Regional Finals of the
2011 ECB Competition, in February, and continues
to be the home of many of the governing body’s
Regional coaching courses, as well as the favoured
venue for Regional BUCS Finals and numerous local
competitions.
A new “Early Bird” League has been introduced on
Friday mornings, as part of the ECB Adult Participation
programme, and has been well-supported by
sides from Birmingham University, Birmingham City
University, ECB, WCB and the surrounding community.
Pre-season work, by the professional staff,
dominated life, during the day time, from early
November until the end of March, and youngsters,
from the Academy were encouraged to practice
all-year round. The professional staff was based in
the Centre for pre-season training and visiting County
and International sides, as well as Warwickshire
and England, used the facilities when the weather
prevented play on match days.
The Centre continued to be the home for most of
the Warwickshire Cricket Board’s winter activities and
quite a number of its summer ones too. It is, always,
pleasing to note the rise of a small boy through the age
group sides and on to the professional staff, as has
been the case, recently, with Tom Milnes and Recardo
Gordon!
The Physiokeinetic business, run independently
by Mike Gosling and Pete Hatton, has grown,
providing an accessible solution to sports injuries at a
competitive rate.
At the end of September 2011, the batting ends in all
eight lanes and the lights, throughout the Centre, were
replaced, as part of a refurbishment plan and repairs to
the roof are planned for November, 2011.
Tom Galloway and Ray Baker provided stability, as
Duty Officers, and they were assisted by John Chaplin,
Simon Nicol and John Rushton. They all work hard for
the Centre and my thanks are extended to them for
their efforts.

Chance to Shine Programme 2011
The Chance to Shine Programme is an integral part of the Warwickshire Cricket Board strategic plan to strengthen cricket
and club/school partnerships across the county. The WCB worked closely with 26 Focus Clubs to deliver coaching on
their behalf to clusters of schools at year 4, 5 and 6 children in each of the six Districts. In a number of areas we gained
valuable support from PDM’s and SSCO’s who contributed valuable administration, financial and human resources to the
programme special thanks must go to Stuart Davoile and Julie Chrysostomou.
Clubs involved in the scheme were;

A huge thank you must go to E Simms, M Evenson, D
Franklin, B Grundy, M Handy, A Wyles, D Oakes and R
Sen for their continued professionalism and efforts with
delivering such a high standard of coaching to over 10,000
boys and girls. Each of the coaches worked within a
District of the county to develop relationships with clubs
and schools to ensure they could assist with the migration
of children from school to club. The key successes of the
programme this year were the development of new U11
girls’ teams with 300 girls migrating from schools to local
clubs across the county.
Once the curricular coaching had concluded every child
in the programme was invited to attend a local festival at
their feeder club to provide them with a chance to play
some competitive cricket against local schools, but also to
have their first experience for many of playing at a cricket
club. Twenty three year 4 festivals ran across the county
to provide competitive playing opportunities along with
another twenty three festivals for the year 5 children so they
could compete in games of pairs cricket.
Primary School Competitions 2011
Year 4 Continuous Cricket Competition
362 teams participating
This competition is aimed at introducing children to the
game; all children participating in curriculum coaching
sessions are invited to attend a competition at their local
cricket club. Skills are undertaken in the morning followed by
games of continuous cricket in the afternoon.
Year 5 Pairs Cricket Competition
263 teams participating
This competition is aimed at building on the experiences from
the year 4 programme; all children participating in curriculum
coaching sessions are invited to attend a competition at their
local cricket club where games of pairs cricket are played.
Teacher INSET Courses
Paramount to the success of the Primary school programme
is the training of teachers to sustain the cricket activity that
occurs within curricular time. The Warwickshire Cricket Board
ran three teacher training days at Edgbaston. The days provide
teachers with an opportunity to gain new ideas on how to
deliver cricket within school ensuring sessions are FUN, achieve
maximum participation and enthuse youngsters about the
game. It was a credit to the dedication of so many schools that
they supported the training programme so superbly with over
100 teachers qualifying throughout the year.

Anyone believing the oft repeated myth that cricket is
dying out in secondary schools only needs to look at the
list above of cups and competitions played in 2011. This
list does not include the many local leagues and friendlies
played throughout the county and organized by teachers.
That so much cricket was played owes much to the early
season weather and despite an exceedingly short first ½
term all but 3 of the competitions were completed.
The major change in 2011 was the adoption of a dual
competition structure by the Warwickshire Schools. This
resulted in 2 competitions being run at all our age groups
115
for both Emerged and emerging schools which gave a
much leveller playing field for all involved. The feedback
was uniformly positive with more schools involved and
groups being much more competitive. As seasons progress
schools will move in and out of competition based on
the strength of their team the previous season which will
produce better and more even cricket.
Our girls’ competitions continue to grow and in many
cases are reaching the stage at which we will need to
re structure them to allow for more schools to become
involved.

Cricket in the Community
Firstly we need to credit the following clubs which have
achieved ECB Clubmark: Standard, Austrey & Newton
Regis, Warwick, Rugby, Fillongley, Castle Bromwich,
Ambleside and Bournville.
And to the legion of clubs who gained re-accreditation
in 2011: Alcester & Ragley Park, Attock, Aston Manor,
Bablake, Bedworth, Coleshill, Coventry & NW, Earlswood,
Great Alne, Highway, K&D, KNCCC, Leamington, Moseley,
Olton, Sheldon Marlborough, Solihull Blossomfield, Solihull
Municipal, Sutton Coldfield, Walmley, Warwickshire Access,
Water Orton and Weoley Hill!
It has been a pleasure working with all of these clubs.
Many thanks indeed go to the big group of Clubmark
Nominated Officers and helpers: Andy Wyles, Karl Bowes,
Darren Franklin, Mark Evenson, Gerry Bailey, Amy Smart,
Malcolm Handy, Dennis Oakes, Richard Collinson (CSW
Sport) and Stephanie Lawrence (North Warwickshire
Borough Council).
Darren Franklin was employed as the WCB part time
volunteer co-ordinator in 2011 and got stuck into three
major projects, all of which were successful.
Firstly we ran a Club Roadshow in November and
120 people attended this event to listen to a variety of
presentations on funding and NatWest CricketForce.
The second project was helping run a NatWest
CricketForce County Showcase event for Moseley Ashfield
and here is the report from the club.
Thirdly, we had two Warwickshire OSCA events, both of
which were a great success.
Natwest CricketForce comes to Moseley Ashfield
Cricket Club!
Moseley Ashfield was chosen as Warwickshire Cricket
Board and County Club’s Natwest CricketForce showcase
club for 2011 because of our commitment to youth cricket
and its track record of engaging with a wide range of
people. We see ourselves as an inclusive club, so were
delighted when we asked if we would like to be involved,
although aware it would be a lot of hard work.
Our CricketForce journey started during the winter of
2010 when we had to plan exactly what would be needed.
We arranged our first meeting on a cold January evening
to publicise the event and get people to commit to the day.
The clubhouse was full and we were hopeful from this point
the event would be a success. However events like this
don’t just happen and Michelle Cole, club secretary took
the lead on the arrangements for the day and has worked
tirelessly since January to ensure our Natwest CricketForce
day proved worthwhile. She liaised regularly with Ed
McCabe, Cricket Development officer for Warwickshire
Cricket board and Darren Franklin, Volunteer co-ordinator
for Warwickshire Cricket Board, drew up an action plan
for the day, set up working parties for different parts of
the ground, and sourced materials ready for our army of
volunteers on the day. Both Ed and Darren have been a
huge help in attending meetings arranging for volunteers
to help on the day including Warwickshire and England
players, donating raffle prizes and just being there to
offer support. Thanks must go to our sponsors Lawrence
Reynolds solicitors whose donation funded the materials
needed on the day, MCP skip company and Lisa Vaughan
who not only sourced and provided the plants for the
garden area but then planted them all with the help of her
volunteers. Clare Preston took responsibility for publicity
and made sure everyone knew what was happening, what
needed doing and when.
The morning of the 9th April finally dawned and what a
day it was glorious sunshine and the perfect weather for
CricketForce. From 9.00am our army of volunteers began
to arrive – players from Youth teams, senior teams, ladies
team, parents, grandparents, representatives from ECB
coach education including Tim Lumb head of community
coach education and development manager for ECB,
NatWest employees, members of Birmingham University
cricket team. Other notable appearances were Nick Archer
- General Manager of WCB Cricket Centre, Cookie Patel,
Regional training manager, Sue Redfern former England
player - Development Lead Women’s and Girls’ Cricket,
Warwickshire players Boyd Rankin, Tim Allin, Chris Metters
and last but not least Chris Woakes of Warwickshire and
England. All in all we had 85 volunteers on the day!
Jobs were allocated and everyone willingly entered into
the tasks they were given, whether it was painting, cleaning,
sanding, sweeping etc. etc. A huge amount of work was
covered: at one time there were approximately 15 people
painting a sight screen including Chris Woakes! The range
of tasks carried out included painting fences, sight screens
and benches, jet washing the patio, filling skips with
amazing amounts of rubbish, clearing out storage areas,
painting the clubhouse inside and out and cleaning the
changing rooms to name but a few.
A huge thank you must go to the ECB coach education
employees who turned up in force, donated coaching
equipment to the club, bought raffle prizes, worked on
whatever were needed and arranged cricket coaching
sessions for the younger members who were less interested
in painting! Seeing Chris Woakes and Boyd Rankin giving
coaching tips to our lads, some as young as 4 years old
was truly inspirational. The boys thoroughly appreciated
it and really enjoyed the experience (as I think did the
Warwickshire players) as one of the parents said it isn’t
every day you receive coaching from an England player. The
boys will remember this day for a very long time!
To provide some additional entertainment on the day
we ran a Grand National sweep, cake sale, and raffle and
Guess the Name of the Teddy. All of which helped raise
much needed funds for the club.
It was a really rewarding day which gave all of us who
were part of it a huge sense of achievement. We look
forward now to a successful 2011 season both on and off
the pitch. Natwest CricketForce brings people together; we
made new friends whilst improving our club.
Thank you to Warwickshire Cricket Board and County
Club for giving us the opportunity to make a difference to
our club. Thank you also to everyone who helped in any way
to make the day such a success.
If you haven’t been part of Cricket Force before consider
it for 2012, you won’t regret it.

Warwickshire Club Youth competition winners 2011
Many thanks go to our team of voluntary organisers who
commit a lot of time and energy to tangibly support youth
cricket in Warwickshire. There are the old hands (!) – Steve
Hall, Will George, Alan Hyatt and Phil Williams. But we also
had two new boys this year: Neil Thorne & Stewart Garry
who did a great job like old pro’s. This was the first year in
25 years when John White was not involved. The WCB owes
John a big debt of gratitude. Also, many thanks go to Amy
Smart for stepping in to the run the Under 13 Cup as well as
doing the U15 Championship & Premiership and acting as
overall league secretary and web master. We are very lucky
to have such a great team of people.
The team was backed up by this year’s sponsors: Martin

Special mention must go to Moseley CC, whose Under
13 boys progressed to the Midlands Final of the ECB Cup
where they lost narrowly to Wolverhampton. Moseley’s
Under 15 Girls won the Midlands Lady Taverners and then
were runners up in the National Competition. Walmley’s
Under 13 girls won the Midlands Lady Tavernes too and
were also runners up in the National tournament. WCB was
proud to see the progress of these teams.
There were some problems which we encountered,
some of these caused by clubs and some of them caused
by the rules and management of the competitions and the
Competitions Committee will meet over the winter to put
things right as much as they can within their remit.
Overall, it has to be said that the attitude of most clubs
is exemplary and the time and effort that team managers
put in is amazing. As a result of them we have seen these
competitions grow in number year on year to such an extent
that we now have 330 + teams participating.

the competition on the day.

Ace Under 10’s League
As is now customary, the Ace Under 10’s League
competition took place in the second half of the season.
This year, once again, the competing teams were placed
into area groups with the winning teams qualifying through
to the Quarter Final stage. As there were seven groups, the
eighth team to qualify was the best runner-up; decided by
the highest percentage of wins from their completed group
matches.
Thus, forty-eight teams were reduced to eight. Nuneaton,
Olton & West Warks, Walmley B and Leamington all
qualified with 100% records with Berkswell, Moseley and
Aston Manor being the other group winners. Walmley A
were the best runners-up.
The Quarter Finals were all close matches with the
biggest winning margin being only 19 runs. Berkswell,
Walmley B, Olton and West Warks progressed to the Semi
Finals where Leamington and Olton and West Warks proved
victorious over Walmley B and Berkswell respectively.
The final was hosted by Leamington. Olton and West
Warks (272 - 6) completed an unbeaten season and, in
doing so, handed Leamington (248 - 6) their first defeat and
thereby retained the Ace Under 10’s title.
Under 11 League
The season was very good with 61 teams playing in eight
leagues throughout the county.
The winners of the leagues were as follows:-
NE Warks – Ambleside, South Birmingham – Harborne,
Solihull – Olton, S Warks – Stratford, South & Central
– Kenilworth Wardens, Meriden – Marston Green
N.Birmingham – Walmley, Coventry – Bablake.
The playoffs between the league winners proved very
exciting with many of the results too close to call. However
after quarters and semis the final was played between Olton
and Stratford at The Warwick Cricket Club on Monday 25th
July.
What an exciting game. Olton played Stratford on a lovely
sunny evening in Warwick supported by many, many vocally
strong parents and friends.
Olton opened the batting and managed to accumulate
over 300 runs which is a marvelous score and very difficult
to chase down. However Stratford started strongly and
kept the scoreboard ticking along very nicely. But they kept
losing wickets and this proved very costly and as the third
and fourth pair came out to bat the task was really beyond
them.
But they kept going and put up a good battle.
The game was played in the best spirit of cricket and the
boys were a credit to cricket in general and their individual
clubs in particular.
Thanks must go to Amy and Ed for all their help during
the season, to Mike Wilson the Chairman of Warwick CC for
the use of their ground for the final but especially to all the
coaches, moms and dads, and the clubs’ groundsmen who
prepare the pitches, and last but not least all the players.
Well done everyone.
Under 14 League Report
28 teams took part in the league, spread out into four
geographical groups.
The group winners were: Sutton Coldfield, Leamington,
Kings Heath and Bablake.
Sutton Coldfield and Kings Heath made it to the final
which was held at Sutton’s ground in early September.
Kings Heath batted first and made 118-8, Adil Saeed
top scoring with 27. Sutton started off gloriously with Aaron
Thomason hitting a flurry of boundaries. However, Aaron’s
compulsory retirement on 50* precipitated a collapse,
leaving Sutton to score 16 off the last over. With a six off the
first ball the game was suddenly on again but then Akhtar
kept his head to bowl balls at which Sutton could only swing
and miss. Therefore Kings Heath, who were well marshalled
by captain Callum Bird, won by 7 runs.
Kings Heath will now represent Warwickshire in the U15
ECB NatWest Club Championship in 2012.
Under 13 Lady Taverners
There was a lot more Under 13 girls cricket played than
ever before and the following put in teams to a new league
and two festivals: Walmley A & B, Standard A & B, Kings
Heath A &B, Four Oaks Saints, Ambleside and Moseley.
Thank you to Walmley & Standard who hosted two
excellent festivals.
As a result of this activity we had a final which was played
at the County Ground, Edgbaston, watched by His Royal
Highness, the Duke of Edinburgh. Fittingly it was Walmley
and Standard who participated with Walmley winning. All
the girls had a great time and met the Duke and appeared
on the ITV and BBC news that evening doing a great job
promoting girls cricket.
Walmley then progressed on to win the Midlands Lady
Taverners Final and then went on to take part in the National
Finals where they finished second.
Under 15 Lady Taverners
We had a great day at Five Ways Old Edwardians CC when
we held our first fully fledged U15 Lady Taverners Festival.
Four teams took part in this hard ball event most competently:
Moseley, 5 Ways, Standard and Walmley. Moseley won the
event and went on to take the Midlands title but not quite the
National one, but nonetheless these girls have shown what
can be achieved and have helped us build momentum for a
lot more to come! Well done to Moseley’s Marie Kelly who was
presented with the Batsman of the Tournament prize by the
England Captain, Charlotte Edwards.
The Warwickshire OSCAs
We had two wonderful events at Edgbaston in 2011.

ECB initiatives
ECB ran a small grants programme in 2011 and it was
good to see Handsworth, Kings Heath, Berkswell, Griff &
Coton and Ambleside benefiting.
ECB also got stuck into some community grant projects
and substantial resource is potentially going to bear fruit in
Belchers Lane, Saltley, and Holford Drive, Perry Barr, with
the reclamation of cricket grounds.
Coaching Projects
The Lord’s Taverners and Cricket Foundation put financial
support into Birmingham’s inner city with their Citi-Cricket
and Street Chance programmes.
Street Chance saw numerous festivals and coaching
sessions organised mostly in Saltley and Sparkbrook.
Citi Cricket and Street Chance helped pay for the
employment of Eaton Gordon as Community Cricket
Development Officer and he ran projects such as the
Birmingham U19 Indoor Leagues with 24 teams, Birmingham
Under 14s Inner Cities Cup team, Youth Holiday Activities
Fund in Perry Barr, Handsworth CC’s Chance to shine, and
Saltley Saturday coaching club as well as all the Street
Chance coaching schemes twice a week. Thank you for your
tireless commitment to inner city cricket and coaching.
A big thank you must be made to the Bill Lloyd Memorial
Trust Fund which sponsored the following: B’ham U19 Indoor
Leagues, U17 League, WCB OSCAs, The Lord’s Taverners
Under 14 festivals and various other successful cricket events
in 2011.

Under 15 Cup and League Report
Under 15 Cup
Due to inclement weather, the 2010 Under 15 Cup was
held back to early 2011.
From the two Warwickshire regional leagues, Berkswell
had won through from the East and Dorridge from the West.
This 20 overs a-side Final was played out at Dorridge
CC on 5th June with Berkswell winning the toss and asking
the hosts to bat first. The Berkswell bowlers were unable
to capitalise on an early breakthrough as the Dorridge
batsman accumulated runs with a fine array of attacking

120 Warwickshire Club Youth competition winners 2011
shots. Opening batsman and captain Nick Hooper failed
to score as he was comprehensively bowled by Tom Clowe
who also bowled fellow opener Chris Beaumont-Dark for 12.
Oli Haley (22) Sam Montieri (29) were both dismissed by
Jack Clowe: but Jonny Allen (41 not out) and Adam Smith
(35 not out) set up a very formidable target, aided by the
addition of 37 extras, as Dorridge closed on 176/4.
In their reply, Berkswell soon lost Tom Clowe: but Jack
Clowe (14) captain Dominic Marks (18) and Sam Tidy (15)
tried valiantly to move the score along. However, with Chris
Beaumont–Dark and Nick Hooper taking 2 wickets each,
the task was just too great. Berkswell seemed to called off
the chase at the loss of their 8th wicket, falling 90 runs short
of their target.
Dorridge were deserved winners of the WYCB Under 15
Cup and plucky Berkswell will have learned much from this
experience to come back another day.
Under 15 League
Due to the increased number of entries for 2011, the
Warwickshire Under 15 League was divided into three
Regions – Birmingham North, Birmingham South and
Warwickshire. Sadly, once the season started, two sides
from the North, Erdington Court and Saltley were unable
to contest any fixtures, so Four Oaks Saints enjoyed a
comparatively easy path to the top. The other two Regions
were much more competitive with Bournville and Moseley
Ashfield finishing on equal points in Birmingham South with
Bournville winning the league on the basis of defeating
Moseley Ashfield in their head-to-head fixture.
In the Warwickshire Region, Leamington Khalsa, with
5 wins out of 5, finished on maximum points, so they,
along with Four Oaks Saints and Bournville will be invited
to compete in the Under 15 Championship for the 2012
season.

Warwickshire Club Youth competition winners 2011
Report of the 2011 under 17 competition
This was a cracking good season culminating in a pulsating
final between Knowle and Dorridge and Atherstone at Kings
Heath in September.
In 2011 we had five groups. Knowle and Dorridge were
comfortable winners of the Solihull group with Moseley runnersup.
In the N.E. Warwicks group Atherstone were the clear
winners with Standard finishing in second place.
In the South Warwickshire Group Stratford emerged the
winners with Kenilworth Wardens lying second. In the South
Birmingham Group Kings Heath were the clear winners with
Kings Norton and Weoley Hill coming second.
The North Birmingham group produced the closest
competition and Handsworth came top with Sutton Coldfield
just behind.
This year no-one team dominated the group stages. No
club progressed to the Quarter Finals unbeaten reflecting the
competitive nature of the teams.
Eight teams progressed to the quarter finals.
Stratford and Moseley fought out a tight competitive match
with Stratford coming out on top. Kenilworth Wardens travelled
to Handsworth and emerged victors by 4 wickets in a low
scoring game. In the 3rd QF Knowle and Dorridge beat Sutton
Coldfield by 19 runs having posted a big total of 130 whilst
in the fourth quarter final Atherstone won by 9 wickets having
bowled Kings Heath all out.
In the semi-finals Knowle and Dorridge bowled extremely
well to contain Kenilworth Wardens to 84-9 and then won by
9 wickets whilst Atherstone restricted Stratford to 85-7 before
winning only losing three wickets in the process.
We thank Kings Heath once more for hosting the final for the
The Bill Lloyd Memorial Fund Trust Under 17 League won by Atherstone Town Cricket Club
121
fourth year in a row and the Bill Lloyd Trust for their sponsorship
of the day and the competition. Atherstone won the toss and
asked Knowle and Dorridge to bat first. K & D moved along
at an impressive rate with Jamie Hughes making 66 but Matt
Clements chipped in with a 2-19 spell off his four overs. In the
final overs Nathan Roberts made a lively 20 but Atherstone held
their nerve, fielded well with Lewis Hubbard taking two good
catches and Isaac Jeffs taking 2-14. Never the less K & D’s
total of 139-6 looked imposing.
Atherstone set off steadily as Smith and Clements made 31
for the opening stand. A second wicket followed shortly after,
but then skipper Jack Smith was joined by Sam Smart and they
added 53 for the third wicket. Even so Atherstone needed 80 off
their last ten overs. However when Jeffs joined his skipper they
reduced the target to 62 off 8 overs and 41 off five.
With only three needed to win from 5 balls Jack Smith was
brilliantly caught in the deep for 72 but Jeffs (30 not out off 16
balls) settled the win with an enormous six into the adjacent
gardens for Atherstone to be crowned WCB u17 Champions
for 2011.
David Lloyd and Ed McCabe introduced the awards and
Stefan Piolet from Warwickshire CCC presented the players
with their trophies. Atherstone chose Jamie Hughes of K&D
as their man of the match and K&D selected Jack Smith of
Atherstone as their man of the match.
My thanks go to Ed McCabe and Amy Smart of the WCB,
to the Bill Lloyd Trust for their sponsorship and to Kings Heath
CC. But also to all the team managers who promptly sent in
the results of matches enabling the results to be put on to the
new Warwickshire Youth Cricket League website which allowed
everyone to see up to date results and league tables.

122 Club Cricket 2011
Birmingham & District Premier Cricket League
Report by Nick Archer, General Manager
Following on from a poor year in 2010, Warwickshire
Clubs, again, disappointed in 2011 and the number of
member clubs in 2012 will be 15, the lowest since the
League was re-formed in 1998. Berkswell, Champions of
Division One, were the only Trophy winners at 1st XI level,
while Handsworth and Sutton Coldfield were relegated from
Division Three to the Warwickshire Cricket League.
The Premier Division title was won by Barnt Green, a
Worcestershire affiliated club with a heavy Warwickshire
influence. Captain Dougie Brown (760 runs and 37 wickets)
led from the front and, deservedly, won the Player of the
Year Award. Runners up were Wellington and the highest
placed Warwickshire Club was Knowle & Dorridge (fifth)
who lacked the bowling strength to make a sustained
challenge for the title. Leamington Spa, who were never very
far from the relegation zone, finished eighth but Moseley,
despite a last match victory, against Wellington, were
relegated. Their form over the season was inconsistent and
they face a tough season next year, in their efforts to regain
their place at the first attempt.
With six Warwickshire Clubs in Division One, the title
race was always, going to be a close fought affair, and
it was Berkswell who triumphed, having led the table for
most of the season. The final match of the season, against
Attock, saw them clinched the trophy but it was a result
that ensured that their victims were relegated. Kenilworth
Wardens and Wamley, relegated from the Premier Division,
at the end of the 2010 season, rarely, threatened to return,
while Coventry & NW were embroiled in a relegation fight
throughout. Dorridge, hoping to mount a determined bid for
the title, were trapped in mid-table due to a contribution of
indifferent form and bad luck with the weather!
Although Harborne were credible promotion contenders
during the first half of the season, their form fell away,
alarmingly, during the second half, and, although they
finished in third place, they were 65 points behind second
placed Whitchurch. Water Orton, after an improvement
during the last month, finished fourth but Stratford-Upon-
Avon, only, escaped the threat of relegation with a last
match victory at Fordhouses. Sadly, Aston Manor finished
bottom of the division and find themselves in Division Three
in 2012.
While Brewood and Barnards Green were contesting the
Division Three title, the Warwickshire Clubs were fighting to
avoid relegation. At one time, it appeared that three might
go down but, eventually, it was Handsworth and Sutton
Coldfield who suffered the drop with struggling Shropshire
outfit, St. Georges. Studley and Coleshill were, also, in
trouble at various times but they, eventually, finished fifth
and seventh, respectively.
In the 2nd XI Competitions, Knowle & Dorridge finished
runners-up in the Premier Division and Dorridge won the
Division One title but, otherwise, the cupboard was bare,
as it was in the League’s three limited over competitions.
Attock made it to Finals Day of the (BDPCL) Challenge
Cup Competition but fell to the eventual winners,
Wolverhampton, whilst Dorridge were beaten by Old Hill
in the final of the BDPCL qualifying competition for the
ECB National Club Twenty20 Competition. The Graham
Williamson Trophy was retained by Shrewsbury who, also,
won the National Club Knock Out Competition but, sadly,
no Warwickshire Club progressed beyond the 2nd round.
The winners of the Warwickshire Cricket League, Streetly,
will be promoted to Division Three (subject to meeting
the appropriate criteria). As a Staffordshire Club, with its
primary affiliation to Staffordshire CB) they will take their
place in the Staffordshire Club Cricket Championship if they
are relegated at the end of 2012 or any other season!

District Cricket
District Report 2011
Winter District Programme
Following the selection of the squads after the trials in the
autumn, the district squads at under 11, 13 and 15 started
their training sessions in January at various centres around
the county. Each squad was appointed with a lead coach,
who would also take the team to the district festival in the
spring and also a support coach. All of the coaches are ECB
qualified and importantly are local coaches to the district.
This means that they are more likely to know the players and
should hopefully mean a close working relationship.
All of the district squads trained for 12 weeks and the
sessions included development of technique, tactical play,
fitness and also the mental side of the game. At the end of
the winter coaching sessions, a squad was selected for the
district festival which also included the players who were
selected for the Development of Excellence Squad. To ensure
that all players are given the opportunity to continue their
development, those who were not selected for the district
festival would be selected to play in district matches during
the summer holidays. The district matches not only provide
opportunities for those who did not make the squad for the
district festival but also to any young players who perform
particularly well for their clubs during the summer.
Outdoor Practice Sessions
Prior to the festival, each district squad attended four
training sessions at a local club or school venue. These
sessions were an opportunity to have middle practice,
fielding and also to further develop the tactical side of the
game.
District Cricket Festivals – U11, U13 and U15
Now that all of the training has taken place, it is on to
the business part of the programme – the district cricket
festival. Whether a player has been training with the district,
development of excellence or even the emerging players
squad, it is now a level playing field – all players are now
playing for a place in the county A or B squad.
We were fortunate to be able to use Warwick School for
the under 11 festival, Bishop Vesey’s Grammar School for
the under 13 and King Edwards School (B’ham) for the under
15 festival, all of which were excellent facilities and most
hospitable.
The weather was fantastic at all of the festivals which gave
every young player the opportunity to bat, bowl and in some
cases keep wicket on several occasions during the week.
The first 3 days of the festivals were longer formats of the
game ie 35, 30 and 45 over cricket, however on the last day,
two 20/20 matches were played to encourage players to be
aggressive and to see bowlers bowl when under pressure.
The District cricket festival continues to be a vital part of
the player’s pathway to the top as it allows the players just
below county level to compete against our very best young
cricketers. It is a level of cricket that a player should be
proud to have reached, even if they do not manage to gain
selection for the county side.

124 District Cricket
Coventry District Cricket Report
The 2011 season has been one of the most challenging
for the CDCB in its short history.
Winter trials were well attended and squads at Under 11,
13, 14, 15, 17, 19’s as well as a development Under 10’s
squad set about the winter training at King Henry VIII School.
This year the CDCB coaching staff was supported by
Steve Perryman who brought a wealth of knowledge to the
team. The winter squad sessions were very well attended and
following the final trials the summer squads were selected.
Summer coaching sessions took place at a number
of clubs (Corley, Bablake Old Boys, Massey Ferguson,
Standard, Highway and Coventry & North Warwickshire who
all gave their facilities free of charge to the District of which
we are really grateful.
The District Festival saw mixed fortunes for our sides but
the CDCB managed to get 17 players selected for County
Summer squads.
The usual large summer fixture programme was set in
place and apart from the Under 17’s and 19’s sides who
were let down by opposition, all other squads had a full fixture
list. Corley, Bablake Old Boys, Massey Ferguson, Standard,
Highway and Peugeot all staged games for the District.
The CDCB have staged tours each year for the past 5
years and 2011 proved to be the most challenging but the
Under 13’s and 15’s had a great tour to Ireland and the
Under 17’s and 19’s visited Holland for the first time. Both
tours were a great success with a good standard of cricket
being played and the CDCB has made a number of good
friends. A massive thank you goes to Richard Cox and
Brian O’Rourke for helping to arrange fixtures in the
respective countries.
Massey Ferguson was the CDCB’s chosen club and as
such hosted a number of fund raising events and functions.
The Under 9’s soft ball festival was staged at Massey’s in
July and over 80 players attended. It was a fantastic day
with a good standard of cricket being played. The selected
players from this went on to the hard ball festival where they
represented Coventry and did the District proud.
The CDCB always ends the season with a presentation
evening. Over 170 people attended the function at Massey
Ferguson and awards were presented by Tom Milnes. A
total of 24 awards were made recognising both players and
people involved in Coventry Cricket.
Thank you to Gary Steer, Nick Archer and Chris Tickle for
their invaluable support given over a challenging year.
Finally, a very big thank you goes to John Askew,
Mike Fletcher, Terry Patchett, Balmer Bains, Azad Tariq,
Dave Shelton, Stuart Brennan, Brian Nairn, Craig Thompson
and Tom Yardley who without their help the programme would
not be possible.
We look forward to an even better 2012.
South Birmingham District Report
South Birmingham has had a great season with lots of
promise and potential, on and off the pitch. Thanks must go to:
Howard Clay, Alan Hyatt, Mohan Diwakar, Mike Smith, Angela
Brown and Matthew Read as well as all the great work our
coaches, Oliver O’Brien – U 9’s, Raj Sen – U 11s,
Charlie Mathews – U 11’s, Luke Brown – U 13’s, Will Kitchen –
U 15’s and Gary Denstone – U 15’s.
All three age groups were put through their paces during this
year, after a 12 week winter coaching scheme at King Edwards
our Under 11’s, 13’s and 15’s were then selected to go through
to a four week outdoor training programme ready for the district
festival during Whitsun half term. From this festival, players
were selected to play for either the county or the district squads
and congratulations must go to all players who were selected
for county teams. The standard was very high and South
Birmingham stepped up to the mark at each age group.
Players who were selected for district then played a number
of hard ball games throughout the summer against other
districts within Warwickshire, South Birmingham were well
prepared and played well in all their games. Congratulations
must go to all the players that participated in these games and
well done to all the outstanding performances that was seen by
South Birmingham players.
An Under 9s tournament took place at Weoley Hill CC with
6 teams taking part; the standard was very high and very
impressive with competitive totals being made in all the games.
Well done to all the winners and in particular Harborne CC
who won the tournament and went through to the next stage
which was held on the opening ceremony of the new stand at
Edgbaston. The day went smoothly with lots of hard work from
Weoley Hill. South Birmingham Cricket Board thanks them for
hosting this and well done on a great evening of cricket.
A big thank you must go to all the clubs in south Birmingham,
your commitment and support is much appreciated and
long may this continue, without the efforts of the clubs district
cricket and youth cricket within south Birmingham wouldn’t be
able to continue. Furthermore, a big thank you to all the clubs
who supported a game or a training session, this is much
appreciated from the district board.
Looking towards 2012 our aim is to keep up the good
standards set and to build on the quality and success we have
achieved this year. Long live district cricket and the development
of our youth players in South Birmingham. Thanks to all involved,
South Birmingham District Cricket Board appreciates all your
efforts.

District Cricket
Solihull District Report
2011 proved to be another success for the Sol hull Board
and its efforts to help increase cricketing opportunities in
the District.
The year began in the snow with Sunday morning district
training at Tudor Grange School. The 3 district squads (U11,
13 and 15) trained for 12 weeks under the guidance of
the district boards coaching team. The culmination of this
training saw 3 teams selected from each group to represent
the District at 3 Inter district Cricket Festivals in early
June. The prize on offer to the boys from these festivals
is selection for the various County Age group teams and
it was very rewarding for all the coaches when 23 of the
charges were selected in the various County teams.
The summer programme began with one of the season
highlights the U9 festival at Old Edwardians CC. We are
indebted to Old Edwardians for another well organized day
plus their ability to deliver the sun every time we go there.
The day saw the sides from across the district playing a
series of mini soft ball games with great skill and intensity.
The day is one which parents and grandparents always
enjoy in great numbers. The day saw some excellent cricket
with Knowle and Dorridge and Moseley eventually emerging
as finalists. The final was an excellent game and it was hard
to remember the players were Under 9 but Knowle and
Dorridge ran out winners. Both the finalists were invited to
represent the district at the opening day of the new pavilion
at Edgbaston. With the Duke of Edinburgh in attendance the
sides competed with great skill on the main ground against
the top 2 teams from each of the other 5 districts. After a
day of great skill and enjoyment the large crowd witnessed
Knowle and Dorridge reach the final. Unfortunately they lost
a close fought game to Walmley.
Following on from the U9s festivals we selected a side
to play in an Inter District Festival at Bishop Vesey School in
August. The side represented us with great distinction with
the side playing 4 and winning 2. The second win came after
coach Gemma Carpenter promised them all an Ice cream!
The school holidays saw the district put out sides at U11,
13 and 15 in 3 weeks of Inter district cricket. These games
are for players who haven’t played County A team cricket
thus giving a great opportunity to players who have enjoyed
good seasons with their clubs and /or took part in winter
training. Whilst results were mixed the games proved to be
a great development tool for a number of our young players.
Our work on the coach education front continued with a
Level 1 Course being held at Smithswood School as a result
of a request by the district which resulted in 20 coaches
being qualified in time for the new season.
More hard work was completed by our clubs with 7 either
receiving the ECB club mark certificate or re accrediting
for the award. The Certificate recognizes the club as a safe
place for children to attend and it must be a great source of
comfort to parents.
Last but not least we must say thank you to the following
for all they have done over the year.

season with lots of positive cricket taking place for all age
groups. Many thanks must go to: Mark Davison, Patrick

South and Central have had another busy year of Cricket
at Under 9, 11, 13, and 15’s. Following12 weeks of intense
training for our 11, 13 and 15’s at Warwick School, players
were selected or four further outdoor training sessions
prior to the district festivals, which were played during the
Whitsun half term. From the district festival and trials well
done to the 31 players, boys and girls who went on to
represent Warwickshire Youth cricket teams at their age
groups this summer. This is an improvement on last year’s
21 players.
Summer hard ball matches were played at all age groups
of under 9, 11, 13, and 15’s against other district sides from
within Warwickshire. Hard fought games of cricket took
place with more wins than loses across all ages. Well done
to all the boys who played in these fixtures.
An Under 9 and Under 8 soft ball tournament took
place at Kenilworth Cricket club, Kenilworth Wardens and
Leamington Cricket Club with an excellent turnout of 5
teams entering U9 and 4 teams at U8 at each venue. The
cricket was of a high standard and was a fantastic day,
huge thanks to all the clubs for their wonderful hospitality on
these days.
Many thanks to Warwick sports for their continued
support in producing the cricket shirts for the players
to wear with pride, we look forward to continuing our
partnership. Also a big thank you must go out to all the
clubs in South and Central Warwickshire who supported the
district games throughout the summer, the support of the
clubs is vital and thoroughly appreciated.
We have a great team of people driving cricket forward in
the district. Our aim for 2012 is to maintain the quality and
build on our successes from this season and provide even
better opportunities for all to play cricket. Many thanks to all
who are involved!!!

126 District Cricket
North & East Warwickshire Cricket Board 2011
2011 has been another good year for North & East Cricket
area.
We started in January with a 12 week winter training
programme for our Under 11, Under 13 and Under 15 district
squads at the Bounce Cricket Centre in Nuneaton, under
the excellent coaching of Matt Phillips and Tom Nightingale
at Under 11’s, Steve Smith-Walker and Dale Glastonbury at
Under 13’s and Huey Caratella and John Allen at Under 15’s.
Following this programme we selected the squads for the
County Festivals where we played some fine cricket to win 10
matches out of the 15 played – the under 11’s in particular
played very well winning all their 5 matches.
The district were rewarded for their hard work, with our
largest number of players being awarded ‘A’ and ‘B’ caps for
the county squads.
During the summer we arranged 12 friendly district matches
(4 at each age group).
An under 9 competition involving 8 clubs was won by a very
young and enthusiastic Nether Whitacre CC team who beat
Bedworth CC in the final played at Atherstone CC.
The under ‘9’ District squad chosen from this competition
played very well at the Warwickshire under ‘9’ festival, enjoying
the 2 days enormously under the guidance of their excellent
manager John Allen.
District Festival 2011
We once again arranged, 3 weeks of summer holiday
courses at Bedworth CC, Dunchurch CC and Griff & Coton
CC. These were well attended and raised valuable funds to be
channelled back into local cricket.
Sixteen schools took part in the ‘Chance to Shine’ scheme
in the Bedworth, Nuneaton and Coleshill areas. Bedworth,
Griff & Coton and Coleshill CC were chosen to create a club/
schools link for children wanting to enjoy playing more cricket.
With the help of Ambleside CC, Matt Phillips and Kelly
Evenson, 24 girls have been selected for a training programme
at under 11 to under 13 age group. This will form the base for
a North & East district girls’ squad.
Thanks to the numerous clubs in the area, who are now
providing excellent facilities for County & District matches
during the season.
Congratulations to Austry and Newton Regis CC,
Ambleside CC and Rugby CC for achieving Clubmark status.
Also, to Coleshill CC, Water Orton CC and Bedworth CC who
have been re-accredited after 3 years. Clubmark is the ECB
standard for a safe and well run club.
- to Atherstone CC for winning the under 17’s Warwickshire
league and Bedworth CC for winning the under 13’s
Warwickshire league.
- and to Phil Daniels who has been recognised and
awarded a Lifetime Achiever ‘OSCA’ by Nat West for services

Season Report
This has been an excellent season for the U10 team in
winning all of their matches. In many cases they not only
won the matches but beat teams comprehensively.
Two main aspects of the season which stood out were
the way they played for each other developing a very good
team spirit and how they applied themselves in situations
when things had not started well. Many times bowlers and
batsmen stuck to their task and got us back into a winning
position when the match did not seem to be going our way.
The first game against Derbyshire was a good contest
where wickets were mostly shared (Holland 3-7) as were
the runs (Lord 43). Derbyshire batted first but we scored
the runs in good time. Buckinghamshire did not manage to
cause us too much trouble as we beat them twice in one
day! On each occasion they got less than 50 runs. Peter
Shackleford completed a hat-trick when he got a wicket
on the first ball of his spell having got two wickets with his
last two balls in the previous match. Well done to him! Over
the two matches there were some good performances –
notably bowling – Grice 3 - 8, Khan 3-8, Brookes 2-9 and
Mousley 2-8.
Against Shropshire runs abounded Malvernkar 70,
Mousley 46, Brookes 46* with a flurry at the end from
Hopkins 22*. Once again our bowling was too strong and
we bowled them out comfortably with Brookes 3-7, Mousley
2-9 and Holland 2-7.
Surrey we felt was going to be a much stronger
proposition but with good performances from Khan 3-14
and Grice 3-7 their batting had the heart taken out of it.
Good performances with the bat by Malvernkar 40 and
Banton 49 put us in the position to win in style. A very
satisfying win indeed!
The bowlers once again ripped the heart out of the
Berkshire batting – Holland 4-2, Brookes 2-10 and the
batsmen followed up in good style with Malvernkar 52,
Brookes 79. The game was rain affected and when it was
eventually abandoned – with Warwickshire needing just 14
runs – the Umpires and the Managers agreed it to be a win
to Warwickshire.
The Malvern Festival went very well with good wins
against Leicestershire, Oxfordshire and Staffordshire.
Notable batting performances were Malvernkar 76, Mousley
140, Brookes 50*, Banton 33 (v Leics), Banton 41* Brookes
24* (v Oxfordshire), Mousley 42, Lord 43 (v Staffs).
Notable bowling performances came from Malvernkar 3-10,
Lord 4-17 (v Oxfordshire) and Brookes 5-14, Grice 3-7 (v
Staffs). Against Leicestershire wickets were shared around.
We always struggle a little against Northamptonshire and
this year was no exception. With a score of just over 140 we
felt it was a little low though the wicket was rain affected.
However, with good performances from Lord 4 – 10,
Holland 2 – 18 and Malvernkar 2-7 we managed to bowl
them out in a very tight finish.
As can be seen many of the boys made good
contributions over the season and it was not just left to one

or two of the boys to ‘produce the goods’ – an excellent
team effort.
Congratulations must also go to Kelly who guided the
boys through some difficult situations giving sound advice

Season Report
The under 11’s have endured a mixed season with both
highs and lows. The highs have been victorious against
both Yorkshire and Lancashire, the lows being unable to
defend what should have been winning scores against
Cheshire , Wales and Surrey. The only comprehensive
defeat coming at the hands of Middlesex.
Overall we won 8 out of 12 matches played which was
a very good effort by this squad. We relied heavily on
Rob Yates, Oliver Lawrence, Will Rigg and Sahal Malvernkar,
although all members of the squad made valuable
contributions with the bat, ball and in the field.
Will Rigg top score of the season with 179
2011 Averages
Home grounds used during the season included
Ambleside, Bedworth (twice), Harborne, Kenilworth and
Nether Whitacre Cricket Clubs. The hospitality and welcome
experienced from all clubs was first class and all expressed
a willingness to help and support us again next year.
This was my first full season with the under 11’s which
I found to be very enjoyable and easier than I anticipated.
All parents were very helpful and supportive and with the
help and guidance of an excellent coach, Kelly Evenson, I’m
looking forward to next season.

Season Report
A very good year from a coaching prospective as the
squad gelled very well and progressed with every game.
After 2 early losses we were unbeaten and won games at a
canter. Then teamwork got us home in the last game thriller.
The downside was the amount of extra runs conceded with
wides and no balls. An area for most of the bowlers to work
on.
Our first game was a long trip to Barnsley. We were
presented with a wet, well grassed pitch and were happy
when our captain Jamie Nicolson won the toss. Yorkshire
openers found batting very tricky and crept to 46-1 after
20 overs. Our quickies Mark Laing (7-3-10-1) Brad Gledhill
(6-3-13-1) and Felix Abbott-Black (6-1-16-1) followed by off
spinner Robbie Cox (7-1-20-1) kept a cap on the scoring.
Yorkshire had wickets in hand but were unable to break
away. We were happy with a target on 106 in 40 overs. It
was when we batted that we realized how awkward the
pitch was, and a short heavy shower did not help. We
lost wickets regularly and were all out in 30 overs to lose
131
by 9 runs. Having six bowled and two stumped was very
disappointing. We have yet to beat Yorkshire. A chance
missed today.
Our next county fixture was not for 4 weeks, so we
arranged a friendly with our county u10s. They batted first
and posted a very creditable 218 for 8 from 40 overs. We
set off well in reply with openers Edward Briggs (66) and
Jamie Nicolson (43) leading the way. From 143-2 at 30
overs we lost wickets in the pursuit of 7 runs an over to
close on 185-7.
The Leicestershire game was played after a morning
of heavy rain, and was interrupted by frequent showers.
Reduced to a 20/20 we batted first and Jordan Hoffman
(55, 33 balls) and Rob Hutchings (56, 63 balls) bossed the
game. Leicestershire were never able to reach the required
rate and we used seven bowlers with leggie Charlie Bewick
being the pick (3-1-5-2).
Cambridgeshire were a new addition to our fixture list
and on winning the toss we put them in. Their batsmen
struggled against good bowling and fielding with only 3
players making double figures. When their top scorer was
run out by David Ison their lower order folded to the pace
of Jordan Hoffman (6-2-11-3). A further two runs outs saw
them all out for only 108. We won the game by 8 wickets in
the 25th over. Jamie Nicholson (24, 37 balls) and
Masharraf Shazad 35 not out.
Derbyshire usually give us a close game so on winning
the toss captain Nicolson put them in. Mark Laing bowled
their opener first ball and their No.3 third ball. They never
recovered from the shock and lost wickets regularly to be
all out for 36. Laing (5-3-8-3) and fellow seamer’s Ison,
Hoffman and Abbott-Black, with 2 wickets each, shared the
limelight. We lost two wickets in reaching victory in only 10
overs.
Our third game in a week took us to leafy Oxfordshire.
We were desperate to bat first after two easy victories. The
pitch was cracked but hard and we lost the toss. Put in
we used our full 40 overs to make 163-7. Opener Edward
Briggs top scored (31, 39 balls) with good support from
Ben Covill (23). The highlight of our innings was a 52
partnership between keeper Mason Robinson (36, 35 balls)
and Felix Abbott-Black (26 no, 22). Oxfordshire opened
with a big hitter who looked able to cause some damage.
He was caught and bowled by smart work from Jordan
Hoffman. Their innings was built around Taylor their No.3
who made 49. No other batsman managed to stay with
him long enough to produce a partnership of substance
and soon they began to fall behind the required rate. When
Mason Robinson stumped Taylor off the bowling of Tom
Hornby the game was up. A closer game, but victory with a
bit in hand.
Our final game was at Coleshill and another new fixture.
Bedfordshire won the toss and put us in on a good looking
pitch. This was easily our worst batting performance of the
season. A very disappointing 113 all out in 27 overs. It was
not just that we wasted 13 overs, we had 7 batsmen bowled
and we made poor decisions. The half time wake up call
from the coach looked to have been in vain as our normally
reliable opening bowlers tried too hard and lost their control.
Change bowlers Felix Abbott-Black (5-1-21-2) and
Robbie Cox (6-3-13-2) gave use some hope until Bedford’s
No. 8 Sheema started to find the boundary. When only 9
runs were required he was removed by a wonderful catch
at point by Jordan Hoffman as Mark Laing returned to the

132
County Representative Boys
attack for a final assault. A cool head at the other end was
needed and Josh Craven was the man. He bowled wicket
to wicket with 14 dot balls increasing the tension and the
pressure. Josh took the final wicket for a win by 1 run.
Remarkable!
In closing I would like to thank; our coach

Season Report
After a ‘shaky’ start to the season, the squad enjoyed a very
good season, with every player improving. The commitment and
team spirit was excellent. The batting figures will show a number
of outstanding performances throughout the season. The fielding
improved and was backed up by some excellent bowling.
I genuinely believe that there are a number of players in the
squad, who could and should make the grade if they continue to
show the commitment and dedication.
I would like to pass on my ‘thanks’ to my coach Ed McCabe for
all his hard work, support and commitment. Also to my scorer
Phil Pyke and to all the back room staff at Edgbaston.

Season Report
It’s fair to say a difficult season, with rain and poor weather
affecting a number of results and stopping momentum from
growing as we appeared to be getting our team focus right
and results going in the right direction.
The season starts with a friendly v’s Wales – always very
strong and on a good sunny day again proving to be so,
catching our competitive score of 222 for 9 (Luke James
smashing 48 in 32 balls) within 36 overs unfortunately. Our
score a little short and the bowling then being pressurised to
give extra’s away – very much the issue of our whole season.
Nottingham game at a lovely new Warwickshire league club,
Wilnecote CC, then rained off again.
Onto the competitive games and an opening win in a very
tight game v’s Shropshire. After only scoring 164 in 40 that
seemed low, but was just enough by holding Shropshire back to
160 for 8 from 40 – excellent fielding and handling of the nerves.
Perhaps the biggest disappointment of the summer was
next game v’s Bucks, played at Aston Manor on a good
batting track, with runs to be made we only reached 151,
giving away sloppy wickets in catches and run outs.
Another tight game, this time away vs. Oxfordshire
followed on a very poor and wet wicket, where good steady
bowling finished their innings on 143 for 6 – Jack Butts
getting 2 for 7 off 5 overs. In reply a good positive start was
held together by healthy contributions by the middle order,
although losing wickets consistently meant the pressure was
on for the last guys in Kieran Wordsworth and Aadil Rashid to
get us over the line in 38 overs.
A lovely mid season friendly is played at Hunningham CC
in mid July – with the fixture v’s Middlesex (212 for 6) being a
typically positive game. Due to club commitments we were
able to follow our plan of bringing in a few “B Squad” players.
Easily the best batting performance of the summer was,
unfortunately for us, by M. Holden of Middlesex who scored
a superb 93 punishing our attack - with Craig Turner taking a
well controlled 2 for 21 off 7.
The opening bowling was quick and incisive making inroads
early, but an excellent partnership between Tom Banton
and Captain Ross Parnell got us back on track. Wet weather
didn’t help as wickets fell, before Jack Bewick came in and
nearly won the game with an excellent 56*, for us to finish 192
All out off 37 overs.
Our good form and attitude from that performance then
lead us through the next few games and actually allowed
us to develop the focus and team spirit which was maybe
lacking beforehand. The game v’s Bedfordshire was an anticlimax
– bowling them out for 100 in 40 overs – Jamie O’Hara
with 2 for 3 and Ed Smith (Players’ player of the year) 3 for 15.
Three solid 30+ knocks from Bath, Narotra and Banton then
brought victory in 15 overs.
The toughest game of the season was v’s Staffs – but our
team spirit and attitude was superb, not even being affected
by Mark Evenson’s car crash on the way to the game –
thanks to Kelly for helping at short notice.
Another wicket falls

County Representative Boys
Staffs batted really well, while our bowling looked flat with
L. Allison scoring 131* from a total of 265 from the 40 – on
a fantastic track at Bedworth (thanks loads to all of the
guys there). Chasing down looked to be a no goer – but an
excellent 44 from Mr Consistency – George Westlake, an
attacking 39 from Jack Butts and fantastic quick 41* from
Easah Suliman got us close – best game of the summer all
round, for us to finish short on 237. (The usual 30+ extras
proving pivotal)
Bad weather time now and the game v’s Northants we
would have won, having restricted them to 203 on a baking
hot afternoon – 2 wickets each for Suliman, Butts and
Trivedi (although 28 wides again!), before the thunder storm
stopped us from batting.
To Leicester on the Sunday. Excellent batting by Arjun
Bath 64, plus Banton and Smith into the 20’s pushed us to a
competitive 178. Then rain again – after only 4 overs. Would
we have held out? At this point our team spirit was building
and it would have been a really interesting conclusion.
The result of the season was at Astwood Bank v’s
Worcester. An aggressive opening was then taken up by
Jack Bewick with a superb 74 – punishing bowlers, but also
taking strong running to the fielders when they didn’t expect
pressure, a lesson to all. Bowling on a green track was just
right for our medium pace specialist of Ed Smith (bowling
performance of the season 5 for 33 off 7.3) and Chief Narotra
3 for 13 off 6. Holding Worcs back to 136 AO – Great fielding,
great effort and fantastic spirit.
Hereford then in the final game would never be a match
for the super positive guys. Arjun Bath finishing in style
with 102* , Jack Bewick again with a positive 34 and Mr

for 3 off 40. Corky O’Hara 2 for 6 from 6, Aadil Rashid 3 for

finished them off for 99.
Finding and building team spirit being the key message
throughout the season – where occasionally superstar quality
may not have been seen, working as a team and listening
proved the answer, well done boys. To finish with 5 wins (and
one more we would have won) was perhaps not what we
expected in June, but in the end was satisfying for all involved.

Season Report
A mixed season, with some very good individual
performances, but the results were disappointing.
The season opened with a game against Malvern
College U14’s, in which the team were sadly outplayed
with bat and ball, and in the field, although Malvern College
did field a team with 3 Worcs County players. It was a
wakeup call to the lads, reminding them that the attitude,
concentration, attention to detail required to play at this level
are significantly greater than anything they had encountered
before.
This was followed by a game against the very strong
Yorkshire U13B’s, which quite frankly the boys should have
won. Their bowling and fielding was unrecognisable from
the poor display against Malvern College, although the
16 wides and no-balls bowled in a Yorkshire total of only
130 were eventually telling. Chasing only 130 to win, on
a low slow worn pitch, the lads failed to heed the advice
of their coach and decided playing on the way forward.
Warwickshire were dismissed in a dismal batting display
for only 105, with Jack Bewick being the only lad showing
competence with the bat, scoring an unbeaten 58 not out.
No other batsman made double figures.
Next a win against North & East Wales. Left to chase
160, Warwickshire won by 5 wickets, with an over to spare,
Warwickshire Under 13b’s
largely due to an excellent Karanjit Sahota of 44, and a
really mature display of batting by Harry Johnson (U12) –
who also by this stage of the season had proved the benefit
of bowling consistently straight – a bit of a novelty from the
Warwickshire bowling attack during the season.
Next the return fixture against Yorkshire. Warwickshire
found themselves at 26 for 5, but then a really positive
batting display from Harry Johnson 43, Craig Turner 34 in
a partnership of 70 allowed Warwickshire to post a total of
167. However a disappointing bowling display once again,
with the bowlers struggling to provide any control through
an inability to bowl any sort of consistent line and length,
allowed Yorkshire to complete a fairly comfortable win.
The match against Leics was abandoned due to rain.
Finally we had a good win against Derbyshire with
Warwickshire batting first and scoring 213 for 3, with
Adil Saeed being run out on 99, and Karanjit Sahota scoring
58. The bowlers then bowled Derbyshire out for 153 with
good bowling from Raul Ram and Craig Turner.
Positives from the season – Jack Bewick showing the
benefits of the B team system, coming through to win the
U13A player of the year. Matt Blaylock’s captaincy.
Harry Johnson showed immense maturity and skill as a 12
year old in the U13Bs with both bat and ball. Good seam
bowling by Raul Ram and Craig Turner. And finally, by
accident, the possibility of picking up 2 more regular fixtures
without affecting the budget, against Rugby School and
Malvern College – both of whom would like to entertain us.
Thanks must go to coach Danny Longhorn, parents, and
all at WCB who helped in the admin (and arranging stand
ins for myself and Danny when we were unavailable).

Season Report
This was a mixed season which saw us fail to qualify
for the finals of the County Cup competition courtesy of an
inexplicable hour against Northants which saw a calamitous
collapse from 63-2 to 89 all out when chasing 92 for victory.
In all honesty, I felt we didn’t quite deserve to qualify as
the winners of the group, Staffs, would almost certainly have
beaten us if the weather hadn’t intervened.
We tended to lose against the stronger counties e.g.,
Nottinghamshire, Yorkshire, Essex and Wales but beat
the minor counties and the smaller first-class counties
e.g., Leicestershire and Worcestershire. That said, we
managed to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory against
Nottinghamshire and Northamptonshire, whilst also pushing
a strong Yorkshire side and eventually losing by 15 runs in a
high scoring game.
Individually, our season was dominated by Robbie Povey
who scored over 350 runs at 44.37 and took 11 wickets at
just under 15. He was also our best fielder overall. Well done
to him and he was deservedly the players choice as their
man of the season.
Adam Williams generally captained the side well and also
made useful contributions with the bat (100 runs at 33.33)
and ball (13 wickets at 17.23).
I felt our most consistent bowler by far was Akbar Ahmed
whose lengths were good ball after ball. I was surprised he
only took 9 wickets as I felt his consistency warranted better
than that.

There were also good performances at times from
Luke Jones and Aaron Thomason who finished as our
leading wicket taker with 14.
In respect of the batting, Jimmy Clifford’s 141 against
Herefordshire was our only century, but I felt his 75 against
Essex to be a better knock against more demanding bowling.
It was a pity he missed the first few games of the season with
injury.
There were also useful batting contributions from
Saahir Mubarik and Harry Adams, the latter missing games
through injury with his absence being keenly felt.
Generally the fielding was satisfactory – Adam Nevitt came
in and performed well behind the stumps but the field placing
occasionally left something to be desired. Bowlers should
know their preferred fields by now. It shouldn’t always be left
to the captain to set it for them.
I wish the side every success for 2012 however, the top 5
batters need to be putting higher scores together if they are
to either set or chase high totals and the bowlers need to
build up pressure a bit more by bowling dot balls as this will
bring wickets.

Season Report
Would that our fourteen Festival selectees had ever been
available for the match programme; would that the weather
had not deprived us of two of our arranged nine games –
especially cruel as they were both scheduled v Worcester who
sadly ended bottom of our pool. Would that the ECB would
permit washed out games to be re-arranged! If we sound
jealous to note that our Under 14 elite squad had 14 fixtures,
that is, because we are!
A trip to Oakham National play-offs provide two extra
games and we are normally there. However, true English
141
rescilliance leads us now to recall the best moments:
the thorough spanking Staffs at Bishop Vesey where
Christopher Beaumont-Dark grabbed the limelight; the sight of
Raiza Jabarkjeil and Brinder Phagura roaring in delivering with
the bowling machine velocity!
It seems unthinkable a Warwickshire Under 15 side could
lose four of its seven games but there are few easy games
these days and top order batsmen had to provide a solid
base for middle order and tail; strike bowlers are there to rip
the heart out of the reply and clear the way for the spinners
to clean up – spin triumphed with 28:20. We were consistent
impressed in the field and Dan Brosnan and admirable
keeper. Sadly we must conclude we need to field our
strongest 12 and our “stars” have no shine. No fewer than five
lass had to be called up from the B squad – four in one game!
Matt Clements has made giant steps of progress and
over the winter; he captains with calm assurance, is tactically
astute, use his bowling resources in good measure and rightly
was voted Players Player. We congratulate him on becoming a
regular first team player with Coventry and North Warwickshire
in the Birmingham League, where he has top scored a couple
of times. Similarly we applaud Chris Beaumont Dar on early
setting into Dorridge First XI, where he both bats and bowls
with no little success. Matt Lamb will not regret not repeating
the repeating the dizzy heights of his 2010 season where he
scored over 800 runs and was often the match winner; in both
July both he and Chis gained selection to the Midlands team
which played on the Bunbury Festival and Monmouth school
and Matt then gained selection into an ongoing development
group where his will be monitored with a view to future
elevation.
Lots of hard work lies ahead over the winter.

Season Report
The season started at Yorkshire at South Kirby with the
players, managers, umpires of both sides meeting the mayor
of Wakefield unfortunately the game ended in a loss for
Warwickshire.
After losing their first 3 games to Yorkshire twice &
Shrewsbury School the Under 15b remained unbeaten
for the rest of the season with wins against Oxfordshire,
Herefordshire, Derbyshire and games against Leicestershire
and Lincolnshire abandoned.
We used Weoley Hill Cricket Club ground for the first and
were made to feel very welcome, also Wellesbourne, and
Griff & Coton many more fixtures could have been arranged
with a lot new counties interested in playing us.

Season Report
Thirteen days cricket was scheduled and we are grateful
that whilst four sessions v Staffordshire were lost we still
managed a 40 over contest in the remaining two sessions.
The now traditional one day warm-up v Lincolnshire
proved a very tight encounter with us just missing out by 4
runs. When Wales failed to find suitable dates we opted for
two one day matches with fresh opponents Gloucestershire
and Buckinghamshire, both of which brought success and
will hopefully be added to our card.
The final three-two day games were lost to
Worcestershire, Cheshire and Devon but contained some
outstanding performances.
19 players took part in our programme and on paper
the prospect that the list contained Peter McKay and
Basit Zaman, both having benefited from a first winter in
the EDCB’s Under 19 World Cup Development squad,
made the mouth water. It subsequently transpired that
neither played a single game for us; similarly James Fry, an
outstanding performer and captain in earlier years, was only
available to play once, where his stylish and confident 60
and 2 for 22 was evidence he has not lost his flair. Given he
now has a contract with Birmingham City FC; we hope he
will continue to play for us when released.
How pleasing then that the players who did play were
such a tight and supportive unit under captain Reece
Saunders and they were a pleasure to work with, backed
as ever by enthusiastic parents keen to see the fruits of the
winter coaching.
What will live long of course will be the champagne
moments. John Newis 6 for 44 v Leicestershire which
won the match, Mark Best’s (aggregate 576) five match
purple patch of 144, 53, 99, 157* and 76 – what does
his future hold? Lewis Harrison’s 60, 85 and 48 were a
gentle reminder he’s not just an opening pace destroyer
and Reece Saunders 106 when he was feeling ill! Quite
outstanding were the fielding skills of Mo Sajid; cleverly
deployed by his captain, Mo is a formidable sweeper. His
speed and arrow-like returns are a spectacle in themselves.
George Allen is proving a capable deputy to Peter McKay
and he is an able batsman; sadly he broke a finger in the
penultimate match. Valuable contributions with both bat
and ball came from Alex Kirkpatrick and Angus Mathieson.
There is plenty of talent to build on for the future.
Mark Best scored 576 runs and averaged 96

Season Report
It’s fair to say that this season has been a real mixed bag
in terms of performances, however the lads pulled together in
the end to win our group which then meant we qualified for the
semi finals of the ECB Under 17 two day competition.
The season started with the ECB one day competition
group games which unfortunately did not go our way. Despite
some excellent contributions from Mark Best and Basit Zaman
with the bat and Jack Grundy and Nabeel Asghar with the
ball, we never really got going and ended up losing all four
group games. It was never a lack of effort or desire why all
four games were lost; we just didn’t take the opportunity to win
games when the opportunities arose.
Despite a poor start to the season, the under 17’s had the
two day competition to look forward to and we got off to a
great start with a good win against Shropshire (who eventually
finished 2nd in the group). A superb 118 from George Findlay
was the backbone of the innings, however he was well
supported by Lewis Harrison (29), Jagtar Singh-Dulai (17) and
Nick Sale (22) to eventually post a total of 289 for Shropshire
to chase. Jack Grundy (3 Wkts) struck early with the new ball
to get the start we needed and with support from fellow left
arm seamer Jagtar Sing-Dulai (3 wkts) the Bears worked their
way through the Shropshire batting to bowl them out for 140.
Shropshire was asked to follow on as the Bears pushed for the
outright win. Again we had a good start with 2 early wickets
again from Grundy, however despite a fine spell from
Matt Briggs (2-30); Shropshire battled hard and were 6 wickets
down at the end of play which meant Warwickshire secured a
first innings win.
The next two games against Staffordshire and
Nottinghamshire saw the Bears underperform and we lost both
games. However well done to Nabeel Asghar who scored 50
and took 3 wickets against Staffs. Whilst the key performances
against Notts were by Jack Grundy (3-50) and Mark best (36).
Warwickshire moved on to the last game against Northants
in 4th place in the group, so winning the group never really
looked likely. However superb performances from Basit Zaman
106. Peter McKay (40 and 7 catches) and Jack Grundy (6-18)
put the Bears in a fantastic position. Warwickshire finished with
a total of 240; however Northants were swiftly bowled out on
the morning of the 2nd day for just 50 by lunch time. Northants
were asked to follow on and despite a much better batting
performance by them, wickets from Singh-Dulai, Findlay and
Briggs saw Northants bowled out again for 223. This left a
tricky 32 runs to be scored in 8 overs, however clean hitting
from Best (19) and Shoaib (11) saw Warwickshire cruise home
to a 9 wicket outright victory. It is very rare that an outright
victory is achieved in two days, so the extra points gained from
this game, meant that we leapt from 4th place to 1st place to
secure a place in the national semi finals away to Yorkshire.
The semi final against Yorkshire was played at the Yorkshire
Academy ground (Weetwood Hall) and losing the toss proved
to be crucial. Warwickshire batted first and battled very hard
in bowler friendly conditions against a good Yorkshire attack.
Jamie Klapper batted just over two sessions for his score of
50 not out. Although he did take a long time to get his runs,
he did exceptionally well to battle it out as wickets fell around
him. Despite a quick fire 23 from Asghar at the end of the
innings, eventually the Bears were dismissed for 214. On the
2nd day, the sun came out which did make it a little easier for
the Yorkshire batters, who comfortable knocked off the runs
for only the loss of 4 wickets. Whilst the toss was important,
nothing should be taken away from the Yorkshire players as
they deservedly won the game by playing good cricket. Well
done to our lads on battling hard and it was no disgrace to
lose to the eventual competition winners.
All in all, it was a topsy turvy season but well done to all the
lads who simply kept going and eventually they received some
reward for their efforts.

Season Report
The season was very much like the curate’s egg. There
were some good team performances, but these were
interspersed with some disappointing ones, producing
a mixed set of results. The programme comprised nine
matches, 4 two-day games in the unofficial 2-Day County
Championship, a two-day friendly fixture against Cheshire
and 4 one-day games, a total of 14 days cricket.
The first match was a two-day fixture against Cheshire at
Dorridge Cricket Club, where we received our usual warm
welcome. Warwickshire won the toss and elected to bat.
Joe Carter and Matthew Parker opened the innings and
put on 74 runs in 24 overs, before Carter was dismissed for
26. Parker followed soon afterwards for 44 and the captain
Usman Shabir fell cheaply. The score at lunchtime stood at
90 for 3 after 33 overs. The Cheshire bowlers were accurate
and testing in the afternoon session, but Asim Shoaib,
supported by Basit Zaman and Gary Hawkins, batted with
commendable concentration and took the score to 180 for 5
after 76 overs at tea. Shoaib was finally dismissed for 62 with
the score standing at 227 for 8 after 86 overs. Liam Gateley,
well supported by Grant Thornton and Michael Bevan,
showed a fine range of strokes and took the score to 311 all
out just as close of play approached. Gateley finished on 51
not out, which included 7 fours and one six.
On the Tuesday morning Cheshire began their reply and
had reached 73 for 3 from 28 overs, when Shane Getkate
was taken very unwell.
Everyone was devastated by the incident and there was
no alternative than to abandon the match. I am pleased
to report that Getkate has made a good recovery and has
actually played cricket again this summer. We all wish him
well for the future.
The second match was against Derbyshire at the
picturesque Ticknall ground. On the first day, Warwickshire
won the toss and elected to bat. Jack Cornick and
Joe Carter opened the innings and in a remarkable
partnership compiled a stand of 306 in 46 overs, before
Cornick was run out for 156. Carter finished on 133 not out
and Gary Thornton in a whirlwind innings smashed 42 not
out from just 16 balls, enabling Warwickshire to reach a
total of 371 for 1 at the end of the allotted 50 overs. In reply
Derbyshire totalled 180 all out from 43.3 overs, Akeel Haider
taking 3 for 13 and Basit Zaman 3 for 36. Warwickshire won
by 191 runs.
On the second day Warwickshire again won the toss and
elected to bat. Warwickshire reached a total of 214 for 9 at
the end of their allotted 45 overs with Cornick again batting
impressively in an innings of 81. In reply Derbyshire were
able to maintain the run rate required, thanks mainly to an
innings of 67 from Hamilton. When he was dismissed, the
run rate slowed and 10 runs were required from the final
over. Massingham skied the first ball to backward point, but
the catch was dropped. A second run was attempted and
the subsequent appeal for a run-out was turned down by
the umpire. A four was struck off the third ball and another
off the fifth to give Derbyshire victory.
Glamorgan were our next opponents at Kenilworth
Cricket Club. It was our first visit to the ground for a few
years and it was a real delight to renew our association with
Geoff Edmonds and the other Kenilworth officials. They
looked after us regally.
Glamorgan won the toss and elected to bat, making an
impressive 326. Tom Burton was the most successful of the
Warwickshire bowlers with figures of 4 for 61 from 18 overs.
When they started their reply, Warwickshire soon lost
Parker and Carter cheaply and their score stood at 70 for
2 at close of play. On the following morning the captain,
Usman Shabir and Basit Zaman batted with commendable
patience and skill in a partnership of 169. They took the
score to 185 when Basit was bowled just before lunch for
71. Warwickshire were in a position to press ahead and
achieve the important lead on the first innings. Shabir set a
captain’s example and went on to complete a fine century,
before he was dismissed for 139. The rest of the batting,

County Representative Boys
however, was disappointing and the last 6 wickets fell for
just 45 runs. Warwickshire’s score was 49 runs short of the
target.
Shropshire provided the next opponents in a 50-overs
match at Shrewsbury School. Shropshire won the toss and
invited Warwickshire to bat. Jack Cornick, 71, supported by
Asim Shoaib, stood firm and took the total to 152 for 4 from
43 when the rain came with a vengeance and no further
play was possible.
Lancashire provided the opposition in the next two-day
match at Olton and West Warwickshire. What a delight it is
to play there and be welcomed and cosseted by
Phil Williams, the genial Secretary. On a cloudy but fine
morning Lancashire won the toss and elected to bat. They
made a disastrous start, losing a wicket in the second over
and two more in the seventh and eighth overs. After 70
minutes play their score stood at 42 for 7 wickets. Maguire
(35) staged a recovery, but Warwickshire were always in
control and Lancashire were all out for 119 after 36.2 overs.
Ali’s figures were 4 for 22 in 9.2 overs, Thornton’s 4 for 30
in 10 overs. Asim Shoaib and Jack Cornick opened the
innings for Warwickshire and put on 121 in 51 overs, before
Shoaib was dismissed for 43. Cornick went on to score
83 and further contributions from Burton (35), McKay (52)
and Hawkins (48) enabled Warwickshire to declare, having
earned maximum batting points, on 312 for 6 wickets after
100 overs. When Lancashire batted again, they fared much
better than in the first innings and reached 259 for 8 after
64 overs, but Warwickshire had gained a further 3 bowling
points and had had much the better of an enjoyable
encounter.
The next match against Middlesex at the impressive
Merchant Taylors ground at Northholt presented a much
different picture. Warwickshire had a much changed team
because of 2nd Team calls, injuries, holidays and work
commitments. Middlesex won the toss and elected to bat.
When the Middlesex score stood at 149 for 7, Warwickshire
could feel satisfied with their performance.
The situation changed, however, with the arrival of Paul
and Podmore, who in a hard-hitting partnership of 66 took
the score to 215 for 8, before Podmore was bowled by
Grundy for 45. Paul received further support from Jones (24)
and Middlesex finally declared with their score standing at
275 for 9. Cornick, who was keeping wicket in the absence
of the two regular wicket-keepers, had a hand in five of the
wickets which fell with three catches and two stumpings.
Warwickshire’s innings started disastrously and the
Middlesex opening attack of Podmore and Barrett wreaked
havoc. Three wickets fell in just 6overs and after 40 minutes
the score stood at 9 for 5. The captain, Usman Shabir,
coming in at three, batted with great concentration and set
a fine example of determination and guts, carrying his bat
to finish on 30 not out. No other batsman reached double
figures and Warwickshire was finally dismissed for 56.
The following match was against Northamptonshire at
the delightful Holcot Oval. Northamptonshire won the toss
and elected to bat. They found run-making difficult against
the Warwickshire pace bowlers but managed to make 236.
In the reply the result was very much in the balance when

Asim Shoaib fell for a fine 84 at 212 for 6. Nabeel Asghar
and Jack Grundy played sensibly together and reached
the target for the loss of 7 wickets, Asghar finishing on 39
not out. This was a pleasing result after the disappointing
performance against Middlesex.
In the final match of the season Devon provided fresh
opposition at Kings Heath Cricket Club, where we received
the usual friendly welcome on the last Sunday in August.
Play started on time and on winning the toss Devon invited
Warwickshire to have first innings. Usman Shabir made a 50
but rain soon halted proceedings and there was a stoppage
of almost two hours, which reduced the number of overs
to 41 per side. When play resumed, after an excellent
lunch, Basit Zaman and Tom Burton, in a cavalier display of
batting, put on 102 runs in just 12 overs, before Zaman was
run out for 46 after smashing 4 fours and 3 sixes. Burton
went on to reach 90, which included 13 fours and 2 sixes,
and this enabled Warwickshire to reach the impressive total
of 254 for 5 from the allotted 41 overs.
When Devon batted, Huxtable was dismissed L.B.W. by
Jack Grundy from the first ball of the innings and though
they made a reasonable fist of it, they lost wickets at regular
intervals and never really looked likely to reach the required
total. At the end of the allotted forty-one overs, the score
stood at 184 for 8, the wickets being shared pretty equally
between the seven bowlers used, and the Devon batsmen
never managed to attain the required run-rate of 6-an-over
against an accurate Warwickshire attack.
So ended a somewhat mixed, though by no means
fruitless season. There were some disappointments, of
course, but these were outweighed by some outstanding
performances and I am confident that several of these
players will play a prominent part in Warwickshire cricket
in the future. The strong Middlesex team again won the
unofficial Two-Day County Championship, but Warwickshire
finished in second place and had the satisfaction of beating
both Lancashire, who always provide strong opposition,
and Northamptonshire.
28 players represented the Under 19’s this season and
this may seem an excessive number for just 9 matches.
However, all the younger players also played in the Under
17 team, some were required for ECB representative
matches and training sessions and there were frequent
call-ups for the Warwickshire 2nd XI. The essential fact is
that these players are being given the opportunity of playing
competitive cricket against strong opposition on good
wickets. All the players fitted admirably into the squad and
they were without exception a great credit to Warwickshire
both on and off the field. Gary Steer again did a superb
job as the coach. He established a first-class relationship
with all the members of the squad and without doubt they
learned a great deal from him. Paul Harper was as efficient
as ever in his role as scorer and our thanks are due to him
for his sterling work in providing the essential statistics.

Season Report
The 2011 season was going to be a tough season with
only two players remaining from the previous year’s squad.
There have been some outstanding performances by a few
players this season, special mention to Grace Ballinger
who at 9 years old top scored with 44* v Oxfordshire and
was leading wicket taker. Tiarna Gilkes and Sophie Davies
put in some good consistent performances throughout the
season. The highlight of the season was the week away
to Canterbury although the results didn’t go our way the
opportunity afforded to the girls was invaluable in their
personal and game development.
Oxfordshire away was the first game the girls had played
together they set a decent target of 127-5 T.Gilkes 15 and
S.Davies 13*however, an inconsistent bowling display
allowed Oxfordshire to reach the target with the loss of only
two wickets despite the strong fielding display stalling them
until the last over.
Wales away cancelled.
Wales home cancelled.
Canterbury festival kicked off with a game against a
strong Lancashire side, the girls put in a strong bowling
display with T.Gilkes and G.Ballinger picking up two wickets
apiece, unfortunately a strong Lancashire bowling attack
and an under par batting performance lead to a heavy
defeat.
Kent were the next opponents again a very competent
side, the girls put in a much improved batting performance
from the previous day but struggled slightly more with the
bowling and fielding.
The last game of the tournament was going to be a
closer game against Hertfordshire, unfortunately the great
weather we had had all week came to an end and the game
got rained off. The 11 girls had a great time in Kent and
put up some strong defence against counties fielding girls
in the U12 age group. Mention must go to Olivia Harrison
who came into the squad for this festival and put in some
positive performances.
The last game of the season was another close
encounter with Oxfordshire; we were out to seek revenge,
however despite a magnificent 44* from G.Ballinger plus a
bowling display of 3-4 the game once again came down to
the last over and unfortunately for us were on the wrong end
of the result.
My thanks go to the parents for their invaluable support
for the girls and myself throughout the season especially
during the Kent Festival. Eaton for his enthusiastic and
valued coaching that the girls thrive off. Paul Ballinger for
scoring each game. Finally to the girls for such a thoroughly
enjoyable season especially during Canterbury.

Season Report
The U13 Girls played 8 matches in the ECB tournament,
winning 5 of them.
1 v Leicestershire: Warwickshire made early
progress, taking 2 wickets in the first 10 overs, but when
Leicestershire’s Esta Stock came to the crease things took
a different turn. Her 93 not out set an impressive target of
176 for the girls to make. Despite good contributions from
captain Amy Weir, (20) and Nicola Potts (31) Warwickshire
were bowled out well short of the target.
2 v Northamptonshire: On home turf the girls recorded
their first win of the season. Louise Brazier (28) and
Amy Weir opened the batting and put on 60 for the first
wicket. The third wicket fell on 156, when Georgia Davis
was trapped lbw on 37; a partnership of 88 with Georgie
Longhorne, (19). Warwickshire stopped Northants in their
tracks with an impressive display of bowling from Rebecca
Brazier 4-11, Katie Stannilas and Charlotte Newis 2-6.
3 v Derbyshire: On an extremely windy Sunday at Griff
and Coton CC Warwickshire 65, struggled to find their form
as Derbyshire bowled tightly in a low scoring match. A
good start left Derbyshire 15 for 2 but a quick 41 from Glenn
won the match.
4 v Nottinghamshire: A home fixture against Notts saw
Captain Amy Weir (29) establish a good partnership with
Rebecca Brazier (15) to get the innings off to a good
start In reply, Brazier 2-17, was the pick of the bowlers for
Warwickshire, but Patel and Weir restricted Notts to 104,
three runs short in the final over.
5 v Northamptonshire: Warwickshire opened the batting
and Louise Brazier (32) with everyone else contributing
helped the girls to 106. In reply, Northants were struggling
on 21 for 4 and despite Hewitt’s solid 53; they still fell well
short of their target.
6 v Leicestershire: A rare mid week fixture saw
Warwickshire beat Leicestershire in a tight game that went
the full distance. It was not a high scoring game, as the
girls reached a total of 97. In reply Amy Weir, 4-12 and a
superb run out by Courtney Evans tipped the balance as
Leicestershire crept to 103, 5 short of their target.
7 v Nottinghamshire: Warwickshire struggled and 86 was
always a low target to defend. Georgia Davis 3-19 made
things look possible, however, Notts made it home with
overs to spare.
8 v Derbyshire: Derbyshire won the toss and made 120
but in reply Warwickshire’s girls kept their concentration and
perfected the art of steeling runs on byes and wides. They
made the target with overs to spare.
The Colwall Festival at Malvern College
A team of 11 girls spent 3 days at Malvern College in a
friendly tournament with other counties not met with during
the ECB tournament. The first match against Oxfordshire
saw the girls end up 16 runs short of the 154 needed.

County Representative Girls
The following day saw the team play the Welsh Daffodils,
and excellent batting performances from all, gave the girls
an easily defendable score.
The final match was against Devonshire and after
Warwickshire put them into bat they set a target of 145 runs
for victory. After 11 overs Warwickshire were 23 for 6 but
despite Rebecca Brazier (78) who steadied the innings,
Devon pulled out the stops taking the last 2 wickets leaving
Warwickshire 3 runs short.

Season Report
What a great season to finish runners up in the national
final. It started with a warning as we only just managed
a win in our first match. This was definitely a match of
swings. We started with the bat quite well but then fell
away posting just 109 runs. Then we had a great bowling
start and seemed almost certain winners until the last
Nottinghamshire batting pair showed the rest how to bat.
This then finished with a lucky run out. Maybe this gave us a
warning as we then set about all other oppositions in a killer
spirit. We restricted Derbyshire to just half of our score. As
we got into the season we had some great batting by our
top order, unfortunately meaning several girls could not get
batting practice. Our winning margins grew match by match
with probably our greatest strength being in the field. Frugal
bowling and some excellent fielding gave all our opponents
immense problems. We achieved becoming league
champions before our last league match, which we also
won scoring 208 -1(Marie Kelly retiring on 109, Sian Kelly
retiring on 55) and restricting Leicestershire to 116.
The quarter finals saw Oxfordshire visiting us. Again we
provided a super bowling/fielding performance removing
their batting stars. They crept up to 116-7 but then the twins
– Marie (78) and Sian Kelly (20) virtually knocked the runs
off themselves, Marie being the only wicket we lost and the
win was achieved in just 16 overs less than half we could
have used.
The semi-final was against much fancied Yorkshire.
Again excellent bowling and fielding restricted them to
103-7(Miriam Heritage 3-18). However our batting struggled
against a steady Yorkshire attack together with some of their
great fielding. Marie Kelly and Sophie Glanfield being the
only girls to get into double figures. At 95-9 things were not
great but Zoe Gray added 7 runs and some fine running
together with defiant defence from Chloe Hill saw us past
the winning post.
The final against Devon beckoned. With Devon batting
first we all hoped for a perfect display from our bowlers and
fielders. Unfortunately the first hour saw our fielders making
more mistakes than they had done in all the previous
matches put together. It soon became an uphill battle with
an obvious lack of confidence affecting our girls. Devon
finished with 151-8 with Zoe Smith and Sophie Glanfield
being the pick of our bowlers both taking 2 wickets. We
needed a good start with the bat. Marie and Sian started
steadily. We managed to get 125-5 with Marie Kelly going
well scoring 74 but on her departure runs became scarce.
Nathalie James held things together with a careful 14 and
we were getting close but finished up just 3 runs short.
Finally I would add that every girl gave her all for the team
and special mention must be made of those who frequently
found that they were only asked to field - without them we
would not have had a successful season and they never let
us down.

Season Report
The girls experienced a frustrating season due to
weather and the cancellation of a number of fixtures in
their league stages of the ECB competition. Due to a
number of fixtures not being fulfilled the girls were not
able to progress any further in the competition this year.
There were some notable performances throughout the
season with M Kelly 4 – 23 against Northants, A Patel 4 –
24 against Worcestershire, L Russell a county best of 128
against Worcestershire. Other players played a major role
throughout the summer taking vital wickets and scoring vital
runs to support the team.

Season Report
The Senior Women had a season of mixed blessings,
playing some real fantastic Cricket both in the LV County
Championship in Division 2 and in the Midland North Division
1 of the T20 Cup competition. They were one of the four teams
that locked horns throughout the season who could have won
the League. However, the back end of the season brought
injury to two key players coupled with poor availability, which
took us out of the running and finally finished in fourth position.
The highlights and notable performances of the season are
as follows:
Delissa Kimmince scoring 322 runs and taking 21 wickets.
Best score 94 runs and 5 wickets for 12 runs.
Helen Shipman scoring 185 runs with best of 67 against
Surrey.
Amy Jones and Elizabeth Smart both had a respectable
season with runs of 185 and 165 respectively.
Isabelle Watson took 17 wickets at 28.52, her best being
three wickets for eight runs against Cheshire.
Becky Grundy, Laura Crofts and Kayleigh Alsop all with 11
wickets.
Despite finishing a disappointing fourth in what was a
strong division (at one point Warwickshire were top) there
was a strong team spirit and work ethic by all the players
throughout the season and with this in place 2012 should be a
promising season for them.
From a personal note, I would like to thank the Volunteers,
Paul Harper for scoring throughout the season and
Sarah Sandland who scored during the T20 Competition.
Delissa Kimmince had a great season with bat and ball

Season Report
Warwickshire Access CC enjoyed their first overall winning
season since 2006 following 3 wins in a row to finish the
season off in style. Playing in the Southern half of the County
Championship the side started with 2 difficult away games
2011 Averages
163
on the Isle of Wight and away to Surrey. Despite recording
2 losses in these games the signs were encouraging as the
young Warwickshire side competed strongly in each game.
As we entered June the side played their first game
at Alcester and Ragley CC in what it is hoped will be the
beginning of a long relationship between the 2 clubs. The
warm summer sun saw the side’s fortunes change and a 6
wicket win was recorded against Devon. This was followed
by convincing wins against the Isle of Wight and Essex.
Whilst there were some outstanding individual performances
throughout the season what proved to be most pleasing was
that each player contributed and enjoyed the successes of
their teammates. This was typified when Patrick Phelan took
the ball in the last game of the season in a tight game. It was
only his second bowl of the season but he took the remaining
2 wickets to clinch the game for the Bears.
On an individual basis we should note the following events
- Congratulations to Sam Wyles on being selected to
represent the England Physical Disability Squad to play
Pakistan in Dubai in February
- Congratulations to Liam Brothwood on representing the
Midlands in the Super 4s.
- Farewell to Khush Patel who leaves to join Middlesex
after 3 years at University in Birmingham
The side is made of players with either a physical disability
or learning difficulties playing open age hard ball cricket. We
are always looking to grow the squad so if you are interested
in playing or even becoming involved as a volunteer please
contact andywyles@edgbaston.com
We must express our sincere thanks to following.
- Martyn Collis for his work coaching the side and
helping the players grow as individuals.
- Alcester and Ragley CC for being such welcoming
hosts for our home games.
- Sarah Norrell for her scoring and supply us
photographic records.

Season Report
At times the season was frustrating, yet memorable
matches and results are still fresh in the mind. The majority
of matches went in our favour, apart from Gloucestershire
and a not very impressive performance against Cricket
Wales. The Play-Off against Lancashire was followed by
another win against Suffolk, which took us to the Semi-Final
against Derbyshire. Captain David Murphy had his sights
firmly set on reaching the Final, but it was not to be. On
the day, Derbyshire were the better side so the captain
and all those involved in Warwickshire 50+ cricket were
disappointed, but now eagerly await the 2012 fixtures.
Newcomers David Hawkes and Chris Bramley made
impressive contributions, which suggests the future of the
team is in good hands. Peter Dawson has decided to call
it a day and we thank him for his input and enthusiasm over
the last few years. Mention must be made of the consistent
batting of veteran Simon Wootton and, in particular, his
century against Worcestershire.
Nets at Edgbaston during April 2012 will prepare the
players and, at the same time, give trialists the opportunity
to impress.
Many thanks to all the cricket clubs who provided
excellent hospitality and good pitches, the Umpires and our
scorer Sarah Sandland.
