Boof. That was a great defence of a total at Canterbury by Cheltenhamshire.

Rob Key is good on Sky. His 'dabbing' impression the other day had me in stitches. Although Corky is up his own arse, he's also one of the better ones.

Rob Key is one of the best commentators around. Since I can't see him getting promoted to Sky's test coverage any time soon,  I'd like to hear him on TMS as a Blowers replacement

Another defeat to Yorkshire. This T20 campaign is going pear shaped. OHD hammered for 35 off only 2 overs.....rubbish

OHD (Handbag) is shocking. At least he did better than Bears v Lancs this season Royal London when he went for 35 in one over.

Willey is in decent form with the bat in the hot and run, 118 off 55 balls today. Not proper cricket.

Two games this week which will determine our fate I would have thought.

A Worcester batsman hit six sixes from an over from Karl Carver which included a wide. Not proper cricket.

Yorkshire 2nds attack vs Worcester in 2nds championship tomorrow is Sidebottom, Plunkett, Coad & Brooks - think it might want Yorks to bat first if it's to go any distance :-)

Comfortable 30 run victory for Bears at Grace Rd this evening 187/7 as opposed to 157/8

Bears seem to have stumbled upon a better formula for T20 recently with excellent bowling from Rankin Patel and Elliott backing up more aggressive batting.

The attack is better without OHD & Clarke. OHD is not good enough and for Clarke this seems to be a season too far.

Good win for the Bears and now look like they have a chance of getting out of the group.  Friday night against the Yorkies is now a big one.

Yes big weekend coming up - 2 tough games v Yorks and Lancs. Need minimum 1 win to keep us in the mix for qualification.

I still think Clarke has something to offer when fit, OHD is the worst bowler I've ever seen play for the club.

It's a very tight group with the top six separated by a point and run rate.

The Bears need to keep on winni and hope that the weather is kind.

Apart from one producing one of the best spells I have seen at Lords last September, I'd agree that OHD is a definite weak link.  I honestly think he would go around the park in the Birmingham League.
