Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

Bugger……KP commentating 

A complete arse as a commentator. I have a Bluetech album playing instead.

Phoenix look light on the bowling side, though Issy Wong looks like one for the future. As a batter, an on-form Shefali should pound any opposition into the ground.

I like the kit too.

Dates of games mentioned above:
Mon 30/08 Lancashire Away
Sun 05/09 Hampshire Home
Sun 12/09 Yorkshire Away (according to BBC at Headingley???
Tue 21/09 Somerset Home

No Saturdays, well colour me shocked. Fucking fan-hating idiots.

The Hundred. I’m getting used to it (though I’m yet to be convinced that it’ll revolutionise world cricket)l the thing I’m struggling to get over is exactly that - the death of the over!

KP is getting worse by the minute.

All he does is repeat what the other commentator has just said and shout

Chris Benjamin looks a good player.

Chris Benjamin looks a good player.

So young and so unaffected by pressure.

I’m enjoying the Hundred but although I was rooting for the Phoenix  (I can’t bring myself to support a team with Birmingham in the name, it feels wrong), I don’t feel a connection with them like I do with the Bears. Maybe it will come.

Don’t you support the Bears in T20? They’re ‘Birmingham’ up in that as well

To me they’re the Bears in that competition.

To me it's just 'U Bears'

The thing that I'm liking about The Hundred so far is the mix of players; a few England stars, some overseas players, some County regulars and some youngsters/Second XI players.

Good to see Benny Howell and Miles Hammond playing

The Hundred is a shortened version of the t20 Blast but jazzed up to fuck with the weird colours.  I don't like it.  I am sure I may be in the minority.

I'm not keen either, Steve. Not that I don't think it's any good, it's still cricket, but nothing that couldn't have been done by revamping the 'Blast', in my view.

I agree Rory.  It really only a 20 ball shorter game than the t20.  What's the point?  Got to be for money and selling around the world.  Do away with T20 if that's the case because there won't be enough time to play 50 over games or T20.  Love cricket but we can do without the Hundred.

Last six Bears wickets gone for eleven runs Another pitiful showing against a Notts team who were far from full strength
