Mousley's first first-class ton for the Bears is a special moment for all at Edgbaston

“Being out in the middle and finally getting over the line with mum and dad in the crowd was really special."

The first match of the year at Edgbaston has brought a season’s highlight already.  

There is a special ‘roar’ that you hear from Warwickshire’s supporters, beyond the usual celebration of a wicket or a milestone, that comes when something special has happened. Such a roar rang out on the second afternoon against Surrey when Dan Mousley reached his belated first first-class century for the Bears.  

In his 64th first class innings for his beloved county, having reached 50 on 14 previous occasions, Mousley advanced to a century. It was a moment and an achievement to warm the woolly hat and overcoat-clad spectators braving the cold winds that whipped across the ground, spectators who included Mousley’s very proud mum and dad.
