Good morning ladies and gentlemen. New Road is awash. It is raining heavily. There is as much chance of cricket today as of Les Dennis and Michael Foot opening the batting for England in the opening Ashes Test next summer.
So again the Bears draw a match in which rain intervened when they were firmly on the back-foot.
The number of overs lost to the weather in Warwickshire's championship season now stands at 1,044. More than ten days' cricket.
Rain also badly interfered with Warwickshire's championship match against Somerset at Wells in 1948.
Somerset's bowling in that game was opened by Wellard, later to feature in EastEnders.

Brian Halford - Brian Halford’s look at Edgbaston.
Ashley Giles is certainly one of those lucky Generals.
Who was bowling first change for Somerset? Roly?
Warwickshire's main run-scorer through the 60s,70s and 80s was, of course, Dirty Den.
What a good thread. We will say rain stopped us winning. Ashley is a lucky chap.
Is it officially off yet.
