Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2016

[Chris Jameson]

No doubt they'll want Steven Finn to play in the game to build up his fitness.

[PGW]

Squad for tomorrow:
Bell, Ambrose (fitness test in morning), Barker, Clarke, Hain, OHD, Ateeq Javid, Mellor, Patel, Poysden, Trott, Westwood & Wright

So i suppose the big question is who is opening with Westwood.
Chopra left out and been told wish you luck in the future and thanks. So thats it for him in Bears shirt.

[PGW]

Bell has lost another toss....Somerset won and are batting.

Gonna watch live feed from Trent Bridge as well as listen to Bears where uncontested toss and Middx are bowling.
Likewise at Headingley where Durham are bowling.

Big chance for young wicket-keeper Alex Mellor, being asked to open the batting.

With the uncontested toss, do the away team have to turn up and say 'we want to bowl', and then at that point there is no toss?

Hadn't realised it was a half ten start today. Lucky I opened Cricinfo early just in case!
