Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

65 needed for the Pears.  Is there enough time left?  What a game.

Starting to lose wickets. Hope my gut feeling is wrong!

Bugger. 381 for 8 and we only needed another 4 to win. Great effort though.

Was a good watch, probably flipped on Azhar getting out so close to the end.  Hopefully Bracewell’s replacement will be someone who can at least trouble tail Enders :-)

Ashley Giles appointed Worcestershire CEO.

[Gareth]

Am happy with that, Worcester needs fresh eyes…been 90% appointments from within the last decade, needs someone to come in from outside…interesting few months with a number of the better players out of contract…fully expect the likes of Haynes & Pennington to be following Barnard & Mo to better paid gigs elsewhere

Ashley Giles appointed Worcestershire CEO.

He would have been delighted at Worcester’s result last night 😉

[Gareth]

He’s allowed to, he doesn’t start work till July 😉

Another Bears win, although Brookes terrifies me as a bowler!  Should be a good game v Pears tomorrow.

Yeah, ended up being a lot closer than it should have been.  All set now for a top of the table clash with the Pears tomorrow night at Edgbaston.

Elsewhere, how on earth did Surrey not defend 253 with three of the best T20 bowlers in the world playing?

17000 tickets sold for tonight so far.

I’ll be one of them, first time back at Edgbaston for a while.

I like Brookes, he's very aggressive but he does still have the odd stinker of an over in him and yesterday he had one in the last over. His other 3 overs were ok, he got a bit of treatment in the opening powerplay but that's pretty common. Injuries have set him back though, a few years ago he looked like he was going to develop into something special rather than a fairly run-of-the-mill county bowler.

[Gareth]

Should be a good game tonight…though I’ve given up guessing what Worcs team will turn up :-) even Pollock got a few runs last night.

[DB]

Some of the crowd singing sh*t on the Villa. Good to know we are always in their heads, sad tw*ts.

[Gareth]

Just looked at the score and presumed we’d been Hain’d all over like normal then saw he isn’t even in the side….fair to say I’m not hopeful for an away win here :-)

[DB]

229 to win.
