Bears/Pears Cricket Thread 2014

i left at tea, may have been a wise decision....thunder in selly oak only light rain currently but doesn't look good.....could be a mad 300 yard dash to my local pub.
But yes i enjoyed the day and if we had got a full day in could have been a decent day tomorrow.

Another inspection at 5:20. Been bright for 20 mins or so but a lot of water on the pitch.
Some good cricket today but the match is dead barring a catastrophic collapse.
5 bonus points not to be sniffed at, I suppose.

I note with interest that Lancashire captain Glen Chapple looks disturbingly like professional buffoon Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson and has a bowling action to match his persona.

[Dave Cooper please]

Enjoyed today, I only do the odd day when shifts allow, Got sunburnt and saw a few runs, left when they bought the covers on as it allowed me to get to the Wellington for a couple before going home.
