Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread 2018

[Villafirst]

Typical, both Sussex and Kent are in play.......raining at Leicester!  Once again, the weather is against us! Hopefully when it stops we can wrap the game up quickly. Kent didn't manage a batting point....I'm amazed they've won so many matches given their lack of batting points! Obviously down to their bowlers....

[PGW]

There will NOT be any play at Grace Rd before Lunch

In the 2 big games in our promotion quest latest:
Sussex 19/1 in reply To Durhams 103
Middx 161 & 25/0 Kent 192

Thankfully we bowled them out cheaply and got a decent lead yesterday all on the first day so it might not impact too much.  If the weather is OK after lunch, we should build a good enough lead to be in a very strong position with two days left.

The blotters r on the ground at Grace Rd trying to mop up the outfield but covers still firmly in place

Despite no play today is going as well as you could hope for the Bears, Middlesex are proving a much tougher test in the second innings and look like they'll post a competitive target and Durham look like finishing the first innings about even with Sussex. If we can get on soon and get a big total on the board (hopefully with 3-4 batting points) this could be a significant round of games for us.

Sussex 110/9

Tea will be 15:50 and 59 overs to be bowled. A loss of 37 overs.
If yesterday was anything to go by i don't think we'll get 59 in.
So need to make hay with the more likely 50+ overs available

Middx 104/5 now....falling apart
