All still to do

As expected the Bears went down to Surrey just after lunch today by 9 wickets. I didn't go down to the ground today, but instead followed the score on Cricinfo. It appeared that as with so many games this season, it wasn't so much the result that mattered, quite so much as the way the result came about.
It is a damning indictment of the type of cricket that Warwickshire have been playing recently, that left with realistically nothing but pride to play for this morning, they were again found wanting. On a forth day pitch, which had been offering a small degree of turn on the second day, and some help to the seemers throughout, they were only able to muster one wicket between them. And not to mention Surrey knocked off the runs at a rate of just under 4 - faster than the other three innings, indicating that they were not exactly cautious, at least not after the opening 20 or so overs.

Warwickshire must now pick themselves up and get at least a draw at Old Trafford to stay up. They are 9 points ahead of Kent, having played a game more. Both teams will play on Tuesday before Kent make up their game against Durham a week on Wednesday (19th). Realistically they will have to match Kent's points tally this week, forcing Kent to win their last game.
