Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

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.

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.

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.

Hopefully Durham are on the beach now promoted :-) all on own hands now

Looks like Matthew Potts will be involved with England for the Ireland matches, rather than bowling for Durham on Tuesday.

That’ll be a bonus…if he plays we have to find a way to get Bedingham out tho…always seems to smash us about

Looks like Hants will win another trophy unfortunately.

Fantastic win for Leicestershire, to recover from 19-4 to eventually post 267 and then go on to win by 2 runs was a marvellous team effort. I thought that it was a fine example of 50 over cricket, such a pity that there was hardly anyone there to see it.

In typical ECB fashion they have diluted the occasion of the Lords final and completely ruined it….but their nonsense BS competition gets priority.

Great for Leicester, they played a great game

This should help the Pears seal promotion

It can’t hurt…just not cricket behaviour!

Shame Leicester have picked up the three bowling points at the moment.  Weather crap today, hoping Worcester get to bat tomorrow but can't see it.

Unless Worcs do the domino bit tomorrow I suspect there is no result possible…have to make as many as possible in the 110 overs and then get bowling.  Vital that Azhar and Haynes actually contribute a score for a change & when get bowling that Bedingham and Lees are let to get away

[Steve67]

Is it 200 or 250 for the first batting point?

Thanks Gareth. Come on Yorkshire!! At least we are in a no lose position and can take some bowling points tomorrow.

[Gareth]

No probs

Hopefully a few crates of beer were sent to the Durham dressing room to celebrate them winning Div 2 today :-)

9 wickets at NR and Yorks hold out for a draw would be pretty good outcome from this round
