I can see us doing well in the "20/20 spunk fest" this year.

May have a punt on it. I wouldn't put anything in the Championship though, our batting line up is far to fragile.

Don't waste your money.

I think the same batting problems will undermine us in T20 too. We've only got Shoaib to add to a misfiring line up and he is only available for 6 games from mid-June. Our chance may have gone by then.
So i never had this bet and was annoyed with myself.

So i put a ton on them today at 10/11 before the final.

You Bears.

Sorry AC.....clearly I know nothing about Cricket.

Took a chance and rocked up at Edgbaston after the Villa, two tickets in the Eric Hollis for £50... great match, fun lively atmosphere and a trophy!

Well done you Bears!

Quite incredible. Refusal to make almost every adjustment deemed necessary for this form of the game, and we win it.

You Bears!

Awesome day out!

Two things I will remember. K.P being booed and heckled. Freddie jogging in front of the Rea Bank and receiving massive adulation.
