Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2017

334-8, lead 299.

We need to take a chance of a declaration as Tom points out.

Definitely should be looking at it if we can get up to 310 - 320 lead due to the bad weather forecast.  With Woakes in the attack we should back ourselves. 

Edit - just had a look at the forecast for St John's Wood and apart from a bit of rain at 4pm, today looks OK.  Tomorrow is a different story though, with the rain looking like it is going to come in at lunchtime and stay for the rest of the day.  Need to be bowling at them asap.

355-8, lead is now 320.

Barker has 59 and the stand is approaching 100 between him & Wright.

[PGW]

Middx require 327 to win.

Hard task ahead for them especially as likely to be without Nic Gubbins who got injured in the field

[Villafirst]

Bears all out, 361. Middlesex need 327 to win; surely in our favour with a bowling attack including Woakes?

[PGW]

Gubbins comes out with a runner!!! Robson in with him

[PGW]

Cocking up commentary...No Gubbins after all but Robson has a runner, Compton opening with him.
4/0

Compton Ct Ambrose b Barker 3

[Villan For Life]

Barker is one of our most important players in all forms of the game.

As it stands, his figures are 5-3-11-3

[cdbearsfan]

28 for 4. Surely to fuck... PLEASE DON'T RAIN!
