The Bears/Pears/County Cricket Thread 2015

[manic-road]

Why are Warwickshire called Birmingham?

It's just the name for the 20/20 team, commercialism.

Chopra set the  tone as his his wont. Does not understand the concept of an inswinger apparently. 53 for 4 off 12 probably bmeans the jig is up. On the plus  side,  I can head off to VP earlier than expected.

Evans in too late. We should've risked the possibility of being all out for seventy to give us a chance of a decent total. As it is, we've got a score which, while not actually embarassing, is unlikely to give us much hope.

Need early wickets to have a prayer.

[Richard]

Yeah what a waste holding back Evans and Woakes didn't even get on the park - Clarke and Javid should have just thrown their wickets away earlier

I was going to listen to the Bears game on the drive up but the first voice I heard after tuning in was Daggers.

that sent me straight back to the music

[Chris Jameson]

Watched a bit of the final, with all the stupid sound effects, music and gimmicks it's more like a pantomime than a game of cricket.
