Bears/Pears Cricket Thread 2014

Woakes must be worth a proper look for the England test side soon, he's becoming a more complete all-rounder every summer.

I think we needed 2 more wickets before lunch. Jacques has just hit 2 crisp 4s and is looking good on 48. Hales on 31.

A few of the older members I have chatted with think we will need to win our home matches in September to a mid relegation. And I thought Villa fans were pessimistic.

[adrenachrome]

Woakes has done it again. Seamed back to castle Hales stumps.

[adrenachrome]

Wright just removed Taylor's off stump.
Not bothering with catches or lbws in this innings.

[Chris Jameson]

COME ON YOU BEARS!

[adrenachrome]

Now Rankin is in on the act.
Jacques stumps sent flying.
