Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

[Gareth]

Bears fans, what’s the lowdown on Ethan Brookes?  Seems he’s heading to New Road next summer

[Rotterdam]

Younger brother of Henry and another K&D product.
Has been batting at 3 or 4 in BDPLC, but predominantly a medium/fast bowler. Very good fielder.
Could see him batting around 7/8 in big boy cricket.

Thanks Rotterdam, seems to fit the profile of players Giles will be targeting….wouldn’t have minded his brother :-)

[Rotterdam]

Henry has not quite developed as expected. Ian Bell suggested a few years ago that he was a 'superstar' in the making...two back injuries have hampered his progress. He's still relatively young though...

Hain was the one I fully expected to see in the England team by now…might just be that he nearly always scores hatfuls against us :-)

I think Hain stagnated for two or three seasons which set him back, he’s got his mojo back in all forms now though. He should be in with a shout of a place in the white ball squad for the Indian tour, I imagine one or two will retire after the 50 over World Cup freeing up a few squad places.

I had the impression that Hain was badly affected by his dislocated shoulder injury suffered against Yorkshire a few years ago.

The likes of Hearn and Warren talk a good fight but are more interested in milking the likes of Fury & Joshua than putting them on the ring together - they’ll still sell out Wembley or Riyadh Rovers ground in 5 years time when they are both shot but they’ll have done it half a dozen times each before then

[KNVillan]

Warwickshire score 331-7 off their 50 overs in the One-Day Cup…Rob Yates with 102, good contributions from Barnard (79), Rhodes (44) and E Brooke’s ((38)

[Villan For Life]

Looks like a tight finish is in store for the Bears. Glamorgan need 64 off 60 balls with 5 wickets in hand.

[Villan For Life]

Glamorgan went from 284-5 to 307 all out in 30 balls and the Bears won by 24 runs.

[Gareth]

Good win for Pears too, 130 odd from Roderick who has gone from the worst signing ever to 2nd name on team sheet after Libby

[Villa Lew]

Big one on Sunday Pears v Bears

Boo hiss. Rather be a Bear than be a Pear, etc.
