Bears/Pears Thread 2013.

[PGW]

Pears lost by 8 wkts - Essex 52-2
Reece Topley 11-85 in the match
Sussex 116-9 req another 286 - looking like Durhams title they will be 14.5 points ahead of Yorkshire each with 3 to play

[Darlo Dave]

Just said on the cricket thread, Warwickshire are my home county, but as I live in County Durham, and watch them 4-5 times a season, I'll be very pleased to see Durham win it.

Tea Bears 188-6   79 Overs (32 left today)
Maddy 20
Barker 5
Lead 127
Game will, i suggest, now go into a 4th day. Notts trying to get through their overs quickly and in fact bowled a 33rd over in middle session, so a 97 over day at least.
Surrey require a further 262 with 4wkts left v Middx at Tea
Derby 13-0 requiring another 231 v Somerset not Tea there yet.

[PGW]

Notts have taken the 2nd new Ball immediately after 80th over completed. Luke Fletcher having first use.
190-6 now Maddy added 2 to his score.
Could be interesting now runs could come a bit quicker but also wkts could fall. Barker 2 more 192-6 - 131 lead

155 lead
216-7 Patel 7
Maddy 28
84 overs so 27 left in the day
Worringly - currently Woakes will not bowl in the 2nd innings due to injury. I suppose that may change overnight.

[PGW]

Derby 49-0 so require 195 now - so i suppose thats one target out the way.
I said 84 overs above that should have been 88 which in fact is now 89 so 22 left in the day - 221-7 lead 160
Samit Patel just dropped Maddy. His 3rd drop in this innings!!!

[ADVILLAFAN]

A 50 partnership and we'd have a 200 lead pretty much, no pressure Maddy and Patel....

[PGW]

237-8  91.2 Overs
Patel Ct Hussey B Gurney 16
Maddy 40
McKay in with Ateeq Javid as runner to join Maddy and Westwood as runner. I wonder when last time this happened.
Lead 176
McKay being a left hander means confusion Javid at point and Maddy at square leg as not facing.

[PGW]

A 50 partnership and we'd have a 200 lead pretty much, no pressure Maddy and Patel....
