Go out for lunch and Bears take 4 Derbys wickets! Should I go back out?

No i would like this to last until after tea - otherwise i'll forced into going to pub.
Bear in mind as well only got 4 more to fall as Palladino won't bat.

Could do with another couple of matches now we are in form!

[Villan For Life]

The turn around in the Bears Championship performances since the start of August has been remarkable. If it wasn't for injuries, call ups and on occasions the weather we'd have challenged Durham for the title.

That's it no more domestic cricket for the Bears until 2014.

You Bears!

[PGW]

Bears move up to 3rd temporarily with Middx going down to 4th. Sussex should win to oust us from 3rd place

Bears Championship record finishes as:
Played  16     Won 5     Lost 2    Drawn  9      Batt Points 37   Bowl Points 42    Total 186

Durham 204-6 40 ahead Sussex need to take 21 points from match to get 3rd and they already have 6 so if they win they will muster 22.

[ADVILLAFAN]

I thought you got 18 points (excl. bonus points) for a win nowadays? With 3 for a draw and 8 for a tie.
