Preview: Warwickshire v Nottinghamshire, Friendly

Warwickshire will be looking to build on their LV= Insurance County Championship preparations when they take on Nottinghamshire in a two-day double-header.

Two games are planned simultaneously with 12 players expected to be at Edgbaston and 12 at the Edgbaston Community Sports Ground.

The opportunity to be able to get overs in all of the players legs excites Mark Robinson and the First Team Coach will be looking for his side to continue their upward curve after a pleasing showing against Durham.

"We’ll mix and match players a little bit to try and give them the opportunity," Robinson said after the Durham friendly. "It’s the next step really as we’ve got our first game on the eighth and we’ve had our first game on grass which is always a bit strange.

"Gary Barwell and the boys have given us great tracks and the chance to use the wicket we’ve just played on during the nets on Monday.

"It’s, as I say, about getting battle hardened and used to the consequence - whether that’s an umpire at the other end giving a dismissal and deciding whether you’re going to face the next ball.

"Everybody will be a little more worked and will know what’s needed and where they are. I’m really enjoying what we’re doing at the moment."
