The T20 Marathon of friends life has not yet reached the point at halfway, but it seems, Northamptonshire will concentrate their efforts on the County Championship and competitions CB 40, in which they remain the only unbeaten side in the country.
A fourth defeat in six matches at Wantage Road, Northamptonshire left adrift at the foot of the Northern Group, the result of a shy frappeurs performance on slow land.
Ttwweennttyy cricket is supposed to be subject of thrills, spills of hydrocarbons and sixes. There was little that, in a total of Northamptonshire which produces only eight boundaries and the low note against Warwickshire in the competition.
They were 17-2 after six overs of Powerplay, when the batsmen are expected to cash and transmitted only 88, their lowest total in the competition, with a vital end assault of Johan Botha and David Murphy.
The land, which was used for the third time, has lost much of its rhythm and in Warwickshire, inspired by Chris Woakes pace intelligent variations, had little difficulty in maintaining the Northamptonshire on a tight rein.
When Northamptonshire tried to attack, they are invariably trouble, embodied by Stephen Peters who descended the lawn drive Jeetan Patel, cleared the ball into the ground and was easily blocked by Tim Ambrose.
Botha, who struck half of the limits of Northamptonshire, provided some entertainment and Keith Barker attended Northamptonshire for not bowling two bowls in a wayward final at the wire.
But neither side did successfully defended a meagre total and was a Warwickshire home despite the loss of Neil Carter early.
Darren Maddy lifted James Middlebrook for only six in the 34th over a forgettable contest and passed 2,000 runs ttwweennttyy helping to revive hopes of quarter-final of the Warwickshire with their first victory in five games.
