Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

[Gareth]

Bears have put a bit of a rush on and got the 2nd batting point.

Worcester get their 3rd and Hose has a double ton, congratulations to him, that's a great effort. Libby has his century at the other end.

Been a long time in coming for Worcester…good to see tried changing the opening pship however Nicholls has to rank at this stage as one of our worst overseas players ever

Hose hits a good ball but didn’t think he had a 250 in him against red ball…even if it is a Kookaburra :-)

Still don’t get how Hain has no proper international experience

Great day for the Pears, we have celebrate where we can as it doesn’t happen nearly often enough. Wonderful partnership between Hose and Libby. Watch us lose this!! 🤪

Lots of runs in nearly games….

Surrey rattled up over 800 and Sibley 300+ of those…wonder if Durham regret putting them in yesterday am :-)

I reckon most of the games are inevitably going to be draws, which does little to help the arguments against pushing most of the red ball fixtures to either end of the season.

Please don’t rain!! 7 wickets needed.

Please don’t rain!! 7 wickets needed.

Just some light rain forecast before 10 am - should freshen up the wicket nicely 🤞!

I think we're on top in the derby but Hose worries me.

You’ve no worries, we’ve made an absolute pigs ear of this chase

Indeed. Youuuuu Bears!

YOOOUUUU BEEEAAARRSSS!!!

Could cut and paste for Pears pretty much every game this season in all formats…’bowled well, fielded well & utterly shambolic batting’ - last night 10-4 and tonight 22 dot balls in the 36 ball powerplay….was some good bowling but zero plans of how to get the ball away. 

Hopefully some of the squad players get a run in the 50 over comp

At Edgbaston and yes as usual Bears have found a way to throw this away completely. Steelbacks 189/1 after 15. Make that 2 but still…. pathetic

[cdbearsfan]

241 to win. Should get that, fairly modest fifty over score.

Oh, it's Twenty20 😨

[cdbearsfan]

Don't want to jinx it, but we are favourites here, IMO.

[Richard]

Yeah we might just win this! Assume by finishing 3rd we will be away to Somerset or Surrey hmmm.
