Looking at some of the scorecards looks like the slow/spin bowlers have had more success than the traditional county trundler with the kookaburra for April.

Assuming Durham bat well this is stupid making a road of a pitch for championship games. But it’s impressive from the groundsman with the weather we’ve had
Aye but why is Campbell not fronting up explaining what was presumably his decision to bowl.?

Shocking day road it may be but I can’t remember seeing us bowl so badly Carse is awful and I question the wisdom of Parkinson 160 first class wickets at 40 he’s a limited white ball bowler really.
It’s the first day of the season (for us), I’m with you, it’s a bad day at the office but it’s a slow pitch with tiny boundaries and a stupid kookaburra ball experiment.
Some knacker on a county cricket Facebook group I’m on is getting stuck into our ‘so called best attack in the country’ and calling Boland the worst overseas signing of the summer. He’s bowled 13 overs
It’s a f*cking stupid idea to use it in April. Absolutely braindead thinking from the administrators - which we’ve come to expect.

There might be some spinners around the counties who disagree.It’s the first day of the season (for us), I’m with you, it’s a bad day at the office but it’s a slow pitch with tiny boundaries and a stupid kookaburra ball experiment.

Personally i think they should use the Dukes but i don't see why it should have such a prominent seam especially in April.

The idea of using the Kookaburra is to better prepare our bowlers for Aussie conditions. So there’s no point using it in April when it’s wet and cloudy.
Save it for July and August.

Yeah thats fair enough but its nice to see spinners bowling and taking wickets in April. It gets boring sitting watching 1st class cricket when it's just a diet of the same style of bowling which in this country is right arm meduim pace.
I would also say that probably a more worrying point for championship cricket is why are the "Birmingham Bears" using a wicket on the edge of their square for the 2nd championship match of the season. Probably in seasons past a 2nd Xl wicket.

Could only follow the game today on BBC Sport App. Only got one update for the 1 wicket we took! Obviously we got put to the sword today. But it's very early days. I think as Warwickshire have bagged all the batting bonus points they should have declared before close of play and showed some intent. Possibly a nailed on draw short boundary, placid track etc? But as Cambo likes to say: How are we going to win from here? Game on. Mebbes.
