Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2016

[ACVilla]

Lancashire looking like running up a huge total in The One Day Cup against Warwickshire.

Currently 220-4 after 38.5. Buttler is ominously poised on 77 off 59.

Chopra not In the team. After Friday's heroics I sincerely hope he is injured or ill.

The season really is fragmented isn't it?  Teams playing three different formats of the game in a week really doesn't make a lot of sense.  Why not have county championship and 50 over tournament in the early part of the season and then finish the season off with a T20 competition in one block, culminating with the T20 finals day?

I'll be disappointed if they get over 300 now
268/6 47 overs.
OHD bowling Buttler for 91 has hopefully decided that factor.

Hell of a finish to the Cidershire v Gloucestershire Derby

Somerset were 9 down with 60 odd still to get.

Overton and Groenewald got there in the last over.

Superb performance

[PGW]

Bears finished on 254/9....a tad disappointing to say the least.

[ACVilla]

Having only caught up with it occasionally on the Internet that seems a hugely poor batting performance.

It's akin to all the things that were wrong with England's ODI side not too long ago.
