Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2012

I may have miscalculated though! We're actually one point better off than Durham so we would go through if Gloucestershire somehow manage to lose... it has to stop raining first though.

0.333 to -0.333.

[cdbearsfan]

Play in Northampton due to resume at 6.06. Can't see anyway Northants can win though.

[cdbearsfan]

Gloucestershire have been set a piss-easy target of 23 to win off 5 overs. They are 0/1 though, but we still need a miracle.

That is taking the piss.

[cdbearsfan]

9/1 off 1 over.

Come on Northants, quick double hat-trick and you've got a chance...

[bertlambshank]

22-2 forget it.

[cdbearsfan]

Unsurprisingly, Gloucestershire win. We're out.

I'd like to make it clear, at this point, that Northamptonshire are a big bunch of smelly bumflaps and I hope they all fall over and get nasty bruises on their knees.

Feel better now.

Duckworth Lewis is not suited to T20

Duckworth Lewis is not suited to T20

It's not suited to cricket.

What a lad of bitter one eyed rubbish on this thread. Glos held N'hants to 31-4 off 8 Overs and scored 23 off 2 overs. Nothing to do with duckworth Lewis we'd have got 32 off 8 easily at that rate if required.

If you want to moan about unfairness in cricket how about the counties with test cricket getting massive cash boosts ever year compared to those that don't get awarded England games. Glos have very low budget and have managed to qualify out of the group of much better funded counties. It's the equivalent of a minnows cup upset in football.

[bertlambshank]

Easier to run a 'small county' at the moment.
Warwickshire owe 30 million at the moment,so you are talking bollocks like you normally do.

Come on you Pears!

Thwarted twice by the weather to go to the Twenty20. First Bears vs Pears, then whoever Bears were playing on Friday

#greatBritishweather!

I bet Warwickshire have a bigger payroll than Glos. whether they are in debt or not you miss my point, teams with bigger budgets should beat those with smaller budgets. It might be easier to run a small team than a big one but the big one should be more successful.
Was my statement regarding D/L "bollocks"? Otherwise I can't see what was "bollocks" in my post(s).

How many players have Glos lost to England lately?
