The Bears/Pears/County Cricket Thread 2015

[PGW]

Close 43-1
Trott 25
Westwood 17
Only another 391 to get!!!!

[adrenachrome]

Trott and Westy looked mostly comfortable from my lofty perch. Sidebottom was getting prodigious late swing into the right hander again but these 2 worked out how to play it.  Chopra was bamboozled again.

Looking at the current forecast, we will have to survive 2 sessions to avoid defeat. It Trott and Westy survive for the first hour, we might just do it.

[Chris Jameson]

58-3, Sidebottom all 3, Westwood still batting.

[cdbearsfan]

We should've just killed Sidebottom before the game.

[Chris Jameson]

Still think it will be a draw.

[PGW]

Fuck me - Bell gone 1

[PGW]

was about to update on Bears progress when Bell dismissed:
Anyway 95-3 Westwood is still batting but has been dropped twice in slips one of which very easy chance.
