You don't need to tell me I'm a blue nose I blame my dad for that he actually played for the Blues. I have his contract at home dated 1948, five quid a week plus two if playing in the first team (Harry Storer was the manager then)and he also had a trial for Warwickshire as well which apparently didn't go well they bowled too fast at him by all accounts.

Nearly there, one to go !

They've done it!

Excellent Bears performance.

Did wonder if the declaration was too generous. Perhaps a certain international captain could learn from it....

Sincere congratulations to Warwickshire on a deserved win today and worthy County Champions.

Wonder what the late, great Bob Willis would make of day 1 (of 5) for the trophy bearing his name.

Lancashire, put in by Warwickshire, have reached 26-6. A minor recovery from 12-6. No need for Chris Woakes, they're managing without him!

Watching on Sky they have taken an early tea due to rain Warwickshire are 49-0. Individually Warwickshire don't appear particularly outstanding but it seems the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.
