What lies ahead...
Nearly ready for the off then. Some forecasts for the season ahead...
Warwickshire will finish in the top three in the championship.
Warwickshire will finish in the top two in the Friends Provident Trophy.
Jonathan Trott will score five championship centuries.
The first run on the board in the opener against Worcestershire on Wednesday will be a leg-bye.
Jimmy Anyon will lodge at least one championship score of 17.
The championship match at Derby in early May will be heavily interfered with by rain.
The Twenty20 game against Northamptonshire at Campbell Park, Milton Keynes, will be interrupted at least
twice by a dog on the pitch.
At some point in first-team cricket Lee Daggett will take wickets with two successive balls.
The scoreboard at the Pavilion End of Edgbaston will freeze, misfire and display gibberish on a regular basis before conking out once and for all just before tea on the second day of the champo game with Essex in August.
Michael Powell will score the only five of the season, a scampered single with four overthrows. In a morning session. In June. In Wales.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
I disagree. According to sources at the met office (easter region) it will be sunny in Derby in May.
Troughton is a doubt for the Worcestershire game, by the way, having suffered a back twinge in training today. Poonia stands by for a chance he deserves for applying himself far more diligently than most of his batting colleagues did at The Parks last week.
Not very heartening that Mr Povey's ludicrous and interminable list of goals and plans in Beyond a Boundary ("treating people with respect" is an objective?) didnt include promotion as a short term goal.
"Recruiting a decent overseas bowler" was included so not much going out on a limb there.
Management speak OUT!
The more I hear Warwickshire's hierarchy talking about how essential Test ground status is the more I worry. They seem to regard Edgbaston just as an England outground.
