Offal
Warwickshire 123 for 5 (40 overs). Westwood 62, Johnson 5.
Powell, having added 72 in 24 overs with Westwood, attempts to reverse-sweep a straight ball from Patil and is plum lbw. He goes for 29 from 78 balls (no fours, one three).
Westwood is sticking at it to give the innings a backbone but some serious acceleration is needed over these last ten overs to post a challenging target.
Quite a few Bears wickets have fallen to the reverse-sweep this season. Is it a risk-effective shot?

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
If it comes off its great i saw Michael reverse sweep a quick bowler for 6. Probably not a shot to play when your are fighting for your life, but Bob and Dermot loved it.
It can be costly.
