Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

Hope if any of you are attending tonight that Birmingham bat first or it’s likely to be a short night :-) we are hopeless in t20 this year & no doubt Hain our nemesis and Mo will help themselves to scores

I couldn’t get to Edgbaston tonight so to discover that yet again Sky are showing the Roses match rather then than mixing the fixtures up is disappointing. Particularly as the Manchester sunshine has been influential and the outfield looks muddy, the prospects of play are slim.

It’s all down to Coldplay too.

Not sure why they have to stick to it being 30 minutes between toss and start of play in these situations. Start 10 minutes after the toss and lose potentially 4 less overs.

Cricket still hasn't embraced the present in this sort of thing

I'm not going to trust you anymore.  That was an absolute stinker of a final over.

[Villan For Life]

Thanks…. Found it via my TV to see the final over go for 34 runs. Ouch!

Horrendous. Garton somehow not realising after the first couple of balls that exploring the middle of the pitch was a fruitless endeavour.

:-) Waite has been a good replacement for losing Barnard to you guys

You’ll probs knock them off in 14 overs with Hain 90 not out

He had a poor over at the start as well, just not his day and his head had gone for the last couple of balls.

I think that total is a big ask off 17 overs, 34 off the last over has changed the game and put scoreboard pressure on the Bears.

Piss take of an innings from Moeen

[tomd2103]

Bad night at the office for the Bears.  That last over that went for 34 changed the whole tone of the game.

Prime Moeen has turned up to entertain his today at Edgbaston. Just completed 28 ball 50.

[olaftab]

And he’s out as soon as I said that😟

[Gareth]

Be interesting to see if next year (if he’s still contracted) whether you’ll see more of Mo as surely his England career is pretty much done now.
