Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

[PGW]

Well done you Bears! The batting looks a lot more solid and disciplined this season. What a great knock by Rob Yates! Vihari did well and was out to a poor decision from the umpire. Importantly this will give the squad great belief and confidence going forward.

Up to Emirates Riverside to take on the next installment against Durham on Thursday...the form we're currently showing has me really looking forward to this.
