Comfortable win in friendly

Warwickshire comfortably won their one day friendly against Worcestershire at a damp New Road today.

Warwickshire 246-3, Worcestershire 162-9. Warwickshire win by 84 runs.

This scorecard might be slightly out of batting order and is missing the pear's bowling figures; but you get the idea:

Warwickshire 246 for 3 (40 overs).
Maddy b. Batty 51
Carter b. Batty 43
Westwood c. Hick b. Whelan 55
Trott not out 51
Troughton not out 31
Parker
Poonia
Frost
Botha
Groenewald
Daggett
Anyon


Worcestershire 162-9 (40 overs)
Davies b. Daggett 0
Solanki b. Daggett 10
Smith c. Trott b. Daggett 0
Hick c. Poonia b. Woakes 17
Moeen Ali c. Woakes b. Groenewald ??(30 ish?)
Mitchell b. Trott 6
Andrew c. Frost b. Woakes 1
Batty not out 59
Kabir Ali lbw. Trott 5
Simon Jones c. Maddy b. Daggett 22
Richard Jones not out 7

Daggett 8-1-24-4
Carter 8-2-45-0
Woakes 6-1-20-2
Groenewald 8-0-26-1
Trott 4-1-12-2
Botha 6-0-30-0

So a decent opening, the batting looks fairly solid and Daggett and Woakes put in good performances with the ball, Trott also weighed in with the medium pace towards the end. Interesting that he and not Maddy provided the medium pace in the middle of the innings. Only Botha looks a little shakey, taken for some lusty blows by Simon Jones in his quick fire 22.

It may be just a preseason knockabout but a win over the pears should be celebrated any time. You never know, it may provide the bears with a psychological advantage going into their season opener against Worcs.
