Bears & Pears Cricket Thread 2011

How many games will Trott and Bell actually be able to play this year? By all accounts they had an exhausting winter. Now both are firmly established in the One-Day and Test teams I doubt we'll be seeing too much of them.

They should play most of May and then we wont see them again I wouldnt have thought until we qualify for the 20/20 finals day, one day finals, etc

until we qualify for the 20/20 finals day, one day finals, etc

Go on, count them!

A good recovery int he 2nd innings from the Bears in the derby.  Lets get a lead of 300 - 350 and have two sessions tomorrow and try and win.

[Villan For Life]

Varun Chopra is in the form of his life. 210 last week against Somerset, 223 n.o. against Worcester today. That is some feat.

If he continues in this vein then we could potentially lose another player to central contracts.

As an England fan I'm pleased that young, English qualified talent is shining in county cricket. As a Bear it's a real feeling of mixed emotions!

Completely outplayed by the Bears today. Ah well, back to football tomorrow.

[The Left Side]

Great stuff from Chopra and the Bears!

[Dave Cooper please]

Chopra's average so far this season is 233.

461 for 8 declared. Worcester need 288 to win. Exciting day in prospect. COYB.

Certainly interesting now.  Pears 123 / 5 at tea, needing another 165 (very very unlikely),

Bears need another 5 wickets (pretty likely).

Come on you Bears.

[taylorsworkrate]

pears 7 down now, come on Bears, take a bit of the frustration away from Villa's poor performance.

[The Left Side]

120-9 come on you Bears

[The Left Side]

How long do they play for, can't be long left?

[dubont]

The Bears have won.

[taylorsworkrate]

17 overs left in the day

[The Left Side]

199 All out, another win for the Bears, get in and after the Villa that is a right pick me up
