Blues. Awful shots from Yates and Bethel in the context of the game. I'd have fancied us with 200 on that wicket.

Really bad time to have an absolute stinker of a performance.  Seem to have reserved our very worst performances for knock out games the last couple of seasons.

After 14 years with Worcester, Ben Cox is leaving, joining Leics on loan for the rest of the season, the transfer will be made permanent on 1 October. A sad day for all Pears fans, no question one of the legends of our club.

Are you a Pear Lew?  That makes three of us you, you, me and Gareth.  And I love the fact that we all speak with common sense and are so very knowledgeable!!  Not a bit like those Bears fans at all.

Always be remembered for that Blast finals day! Legend indeed.

Shame he couldn’t have had a proper send off appearance as it’s been open secret for weeks it seems.

If he had stayed in for a couple more overs on Sunday that might have been on.

Useless hillock Azhar Ali goes cheaply again for Worcestershire. Just when we really need people to stand up and be counted with the prospect of promotion at stake!

A pitiful showing from the Bears in the Championship game at the Oval.

So we bottle it in the knockout stages of the Blast and One Day cup and now our red ball form is going the same way. Massive winter period ahead, we need some new faces that will provide stability and hopefully we will stop spending a small fortune on overseas stars on short term deals.
