dAVe80 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Yeah I did figure that it would probably be down to the ECB, but it does seem a bit silly. Although I guess it give us the advantage of a rest, should they get though to the final. Plus Warwickshire will make more money over the bar, not having people skipping the first game. I just wanted to find a bitter bluenose to blame or something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted August 19, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted August 19, 2014 I'm sure we'll get the results on the board. Might wear my Villa top anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lapal_fan Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Who gives a **** about football when it's finals day? The 2nd match in a 38 game season is not going to be anything special. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Before the Villa won last week, I'd agree, but if there's a bandwagon, I'm jumping on it! I'll probably watch the first bit of the cricket, turn over to the football, and depending on how each are going, make my decision as to what is my favourite sport at that moment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dAVe80 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 (edited) I expected you to be there! I could have bought you one of those dandy 4 pint carriers which everyone drops and spills.. much to my merriment.. now i'm sad **** you. I can't make it down unfortunately. Got the week off next week, so will need to tie up some loose ends in work on Saturday morning. I'll be wearing my lucky Bears hat into work though, much to the bemusement of most of my co workers. "Why have you got a picture of a bear chained to a post, on your cap?" I'll be back home for start of play though.

dAVe80 Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Sounds like it was a bit of a thriller today / tonight? Ah well, at least the Bears are through, even if we do get an away draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 Although it is easy to be wise after the event, I did think we were perhaps 15/20 runs short - on that wicket but, as said above, we are through. I think they said Woakes was being 'rested' but anyone know why Boyd Rankin didn't play ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think they said Woakes was being 'rested' but anyone know why Boyd Rankin didn't play ? I heard he was being rested for 20/20 finals day. But that's weird considering this was such an important match. Maybe he's had a niggle and it wasn't worth him risking being out for a longer period?

PaulC Posted August 21, 2014 Share Posted August 21, 2014 He didn't play in the 4 day game either. Impressed with Gordon other than that one over...Richard Jones I was less impressed with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted August 23, 2014 Author Share Posted August 23, 2014 (edited) Bell playing beautifully. Two sixes back off the bowlers head so far and is 38 off 16! EDIT: And I sent that he's played on and tickled the bail off FFS. Edited August 23, 2014 by Milfner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
