https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/68723665More from Gilo about the New Road flood plain and exploring other options, I new that it flooded annually but seven floods this winter is astonishing.It is costing a small fortune to remain there and the flooding gets worse every year so can the Pears afford to stay there?
Season underway with the topic derby :-)As a Pear not sure how our batting order will perform in Div 1….can see plenty of 50-5’s ahead. Rushworth nearly always takes bucket loads against us so not holding out much hope :-)
Warwickshire have fought back on the first day with the mighty Pears 316 for 7 at stumps. Good knocks for Kashif Ali and Gareth Roderick. Libby, Jones and Waite all getting a start. Be interesting what tomorrow brings as the weather is mixed. A decent start but I can't help feeling a bit disappointed to go from 235 for 2 to 316 for 7, equates to 81 for 5 but would have taken this score.
The Bears contrive to lose their last 5 wickets for 27 runs and trail Worcs by 27.
Kashif Ali averaged 23 coming into this game and he's got 2 centuries. Doesn't say a lot for the Bears bowling attack. Have Gleeson and Garton only been signed for the limited overs stuff? Surely they would be better options?
