Oh dear....

It just got even more oh dear.

Funny old game, but can't see us getting back into this now.

No , nor me . Plenty of overs left but losing the wickets has been our failing so far.

Tighter than I thought it was going to be.

 

[The Fear]

wow... what a match had a bit of everything that did! Such drama.

 

[Pride of Lions]

I think we did well to get to were we got to.

Too many early wickets made it tough.

wow... what a match had a bit of everything that did! Such drama.

Curran played a fantastic knock. It deserved a win !

 

[The Fear]

Think his previous highest score was 15! Deserved a century at least

Brilliant match that.

 

[wittonite]

What a win this would be for the English !

Well done mate.

Atherton's fault for bigging up England opening pair as the best the world has ever seen before the game, never fail to put the mockers on something and those two being out early killed it for me , I'm surprised we got that close in the end

The IPL starts tomorrow, amid rising infections in India, and a number of players and staff involved have already become infected.

What could possibly go wrong?!!

"Between them, the eight teams have some 200 players living in bubbles. Then there are hundreds of support staff, team management staff, commentators, broadcast crew, groundsmen and caterers living in different bubbles.

Star Sports, the broadcasters of the tournament, alone have some 700 crew members and more than 100 commentators living in eight separate bubbles, the Hindustan Times reported."

Decent enough start fro The Bears today, bowling Derbyshire all out for 189. 13-1 in reply at stumps.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Finally, the Bears have completed their first innings, managing to make it to 221 all out.

In reply, Derbyshire are 34 -4 in their second innings, giving them a lead of 2 at lunch.

After so much lost play due to rain, snow, frost bite?..... Bears v Derbyshire ended in a draw.
