Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

Looking forward to todays game at Edgbaston to Essex, maybe one of the last opportunities to get to watch Alastair Cook 'in the flesh' so to speak.
Been a wonderful player....so really hope he is playing for them...see no reason why he shouldn't.

Bears obviously missing Sibley have named a 13 man squad with 10 from last week plus Mousley, Miles and Henry Brookes added.
Norwell still suffering with his heel injury.

Essex won toss and r batting.
OHD bowled a maiden first over.

Worcester batting at home v Notts 8/0

Good news is I have solved my info with Cricinfo not working. The ESPN India website seems to do what I wanted. 🙂
