Bears & Pears Cricket Thread 2011

[The Left Side]

After the first innings I thought it was all over, coyb

[taylorsworkrate]

Go on the Bears.

2 away games, 2 good wins. 

Good to get a load of points early on.  Especially before a certain C Woakes is taken away from us.

Hampshire v Bears on Sky today, 13.45 start.

[Villan For Life]

Poor bowling at the death by the Bears, with Barker and Rankin expensive. Rankin's last over went for 24.

275 to win will be a tall order.

[Karl Bridges]

I know he got wickets against Worcs but I think Rankin is as average a bowler as Westwood is a batsmen.

[bertlambshank]

The Bears are still in this.

[bertlambshank]

21 off 12 balls needed.Woakes doing what he does best.

[bertlambshank]

15 from 6 needed.

[spangley1812]

Unlucky Woaksie...........Great try

[bertlambshank]

Lost by 2 runs.Woakes is a star.

[Rotterdam]

Good effort yesterday.

[exiled on the wirral!]

I fear for the pears this season, the batting line up is just not good enough at this level, and without a recognised spinner, i doubt we can bowl a team out twice in the same match. From the position we were in against the Bears after the 1st innings we should have at least held on for a draw. Shows how much we miss Shakib al Hasan and how instrumental he was in getting us promoted last year.

Bears doing ok so far today

v Durham we are 205 for 3 (57.0 overs)

Chopra only made 23 tsk, tsk

[cdbearsfan]

He'd better get at least 200 in the second innings.
