Bears/Pears/Domestic Cricket Thread

Hopefully Derby is a battting paradise because it looks like Pears will be chasing 650/700 for parity….Andersson is well on target for 300+ to start the season.

An enjoyable day at Edgbaston despite the umpires desperation to go off for "bad light".....

Hopefully this is a breakout year for Dan Mousley. Way too talented to be averaging 28 in FC cricket

Well done, Bears. No county ground with lights should ever have the players go off for bad light. I don't think there has ever been a sport so desperate to annoy its paying customers as cricket.

Saw this image on social media, the gap where the hotel and new stand is going looks very small!

What is the general feeling on this development? It seems a shame to me that they’re not just building the biggest fuck off stand they can in that position, to increase the overall capacity over 30k. Presumably they’ve decided that having more than 25k for a handful of days a year just doesn’t benefit them as much as the hotel running all year round would? It’s the only part of the ground that could accommodate a deeper stand and significantly increase the capacity.
