Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

A pitiful showing from the Bears in the Championship game at the Oval.

So we bottle it in the knockout stages of the Blast and One Day cup and now our red ball form is going the same way. Massive winter period ahead, we need some new faces that will provide stability and hopefully we will stop spending a small fortune on overseas stars on short term deals.

I think we're furstratingly close to having a very strong squad that can compete for trophies, I hope they don't rip things up too much in trying to take the next step.

I think the issues go deeper than that, we have been poor for a few seasons now.

Worcs kept in the promotion race.  Logan Van Beek has been excellent so far…shame the Dutch play so much cricket as he would be an excellent signing for any county Div 1 or 2 next summer across all formats.

That sort of my point though, I think the 'shape' of the squad this season looks better than it has for a while and I like that we've seen plenty of players like bethell, mousley and smith. We do need to find a way to avoid collapsing if the top 3/4 don't make runs though, that's killed us too many times this year.

Such a shame he can't stay around for the last 2 games.  I am praying for rain across the UK for both of the last 2 games! Great win against Glamorgan.

The collapses are too frequent, surely it’s time to look at the individual components regardless of the “shape” of the squad?

A Leicester / Sussex draw wouldn’t go amiss in the next round…if Yorkshire could beat Glamorgan too :-)

Looks like the scores are going for the Pears at the moment.

Bears going well again.

Bears going well again.

That hat trick didn’t help.

[Rotterdam]

It's a good job we had a decent start to the CC, otherwise we would be in trouble.
