Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2016

Very bad day for the Bears. The wicket was not doing very much at all as we have all got well used to by now, and the conditions conducive to swing for the two previous days were absent. 

I was wandering what the hell Surrey were up to not declaring much earlier as I could not see them bowling us out in 3 sessions on that strip.

Of course, Westy fell to an unlikely inswinger from one of the Curran brothers in their first of 2 allotted overs and put the cat among the pigeons. Now, I think we will lose but it will drag an for the most of the day to make my trip across the city to VP more stressful. That is how these things work.

Some members are now saying relegation is a possibility, and I thought we were in contention for the championship. Oh well.

Batting is weak. Can't see us batting out a draw.

[adrenachrome]

Chopra out trying to hook a bouncer. He had already run Wright out
 48/3. Bell and Trott at the crease.


 

[adrenachrome]

Bell in trouble having been struck amidships by Foottit in a cruel blow which will no doubt blight his efficiency.

[adrenachrome]

Trott caught behind after being softened up by 3 short balls from Meeker. 52/4. The jig is up.

[adrenachrome]

72/4 at lunch. Spinners have been on and Batty is getting a lot of turn causing Bell numerous problems.

[PGW]

77/5
Evans b Ansari 9
I left at lunch sensing it wouldn't be too long....5th gone 2nd over after lunch.

Got to get myself in right frame of mind for tonight!!!!

[PGW]

Bell Ct Burns b Batty 32
111/6

Batting is weak. Can't see us batting out a draw.

How predictable. Top order shite again relying on the lower middle order to rescue the innings, but we'll be bowled out and lose.

So at Tea 142/7

They are not charging the Skyline members, I have just learned.

Very dispointing from Rikki.

Didn't know that...i.m not a Sky Line member anyway. Bought my ticket the other day....weather set fair...be there nice and early for a sausage and a bacon bap for breakfast.
Then dependant where wicket is get out in the sun...blocks 9 or 10 hopefully.

[Villafirst]

169 all out. So predictable. Brown needs to go. Fresh ideas and new signings needed. This could be a relegation scrap.

[adrenachrome]

A wretched performance. If we do not build some kind of momentum tomorrow I can see us sliding into trouble.

[adrenachrome]

Just learned that Rankin has banjaxed the left tibia and is out for the rest of the season.
