Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2018

Bears are going well, Gloucestershire are 36-5 still 114 runs short of making us bat again.

[Villan For Life]

Bears win by an innings & 47 runs inside two days.

You Bears!

Magnificent by our bowlers. You Bears 😊

Worcestershire well on top against Yorkshire.  One one wicket falling all day as Moeen and Mitchell complete centuries.  A bit of a slow scoring day though with the Pears only 98 ahead, need to push it a bit if they want to get those extra batting bonus points.  Nice to see us not capitulate for once.

[PGW]

Some day for Moeen Ali, doing chances of an England recall no harm, 219 with the bat and in
Yorks 2nd innings currently 122/4 Ali has 4/34.
Plus 2 wkts in Yorks 1st innings

[Steve67]

I agree PGW, great day for the Pears.  I hope the weather doesn't come to Yorkshire's rescue tomorrow. 

[PGW]

Moeen Ali 6 wkts in the innings now and a win by innings and 186 runs.

No fan of Pears but less of a fan of Tykes.

Still don’t think we will escape the drop but have enjoyed watching the Yorkshire live feed, looked more like highlights this morning :-)

Great performance from Mo / Mitchell / Pennington

Things not going too well at Sussex for Bears as Derby have started lose wickets are now 84/4 but Ben Slater had to retire hurt. Due to fact that he is concussed
a substitute batter can be used, so (forgive spelling) so Anuj Dal will come in at some stage.
First time i've noticed this happen in a game.
89/5 now....Derby require a total of 405
Dal in now.
So looks like a maximum 24 points for Sussex so a net gain of 3 on bears.
Bears still to go to Hove in September

I forgot to mention Ravi Rampaul missing through illness so won't be batting...no sub for him.

Sussex will be on 145 to Bears 149

Cannot understand why Derbyshire declared. Okay, it was only one wicket but still, all they have done is cost themselves a chance of a fourth batting point while boosting Sussex's chances of victory.

I had assumed they must have decided to engineer a mutually agreed target but as Sussex set them a virtually impossible near 400 in one day, obviously not.

I agree.

They didn't declare, Rampaul was ill and couldn't bat, same as today.

That makes sense then, thanks. BBC said declared. Disappointing result for us in that game but at least we are still top after our win.

Great session at Oval Surrey have just beaten Lancs by 6 runs. Lancs move to bottom i believe with Pears win.
