The Cricket Thread

[Pride of Lions]

For days now I've been keeping quiet on this thread as I didn't want to tempt fate.

However, is it really time to get the cigars out? Currently The Bears need 2 more wickets to win the County Championship, with Somerset 145-8.... they need another 128 to win.

So we ask Paul McGrath to help us get these last 2 wickets before close of play tonight.

Moeen announces his retirement from Test cricket. 34years of age and has said he wants to continue playing for as long as he can, so will concentrate on white ball only.

In the (unlikely now) event of a draw, the team with the highest first innings total wins.

A bit of a fightback now 47 -7
If anybody wants to watch it is on Pick. Sky 416.

And rain stops play.

My mate just messaged me to say that if Sibley digs in Warwickshire could have a first innings lead by Saturday lol.

 

[astonion2]

Rain stopped and playing again.

So Lancs all out for 78. Wood made 46 so the rest could only manage 32 between them.

Bears are 120-0 at the end of play today.

You watch it piss down on the Bears parade......................

Tea at Lords.

Replying to Lancashire's 78, Ther Bears are 339-2.

With an eye on the weather for the next two days, I would declare when we have a lead of 300 and see if we can get a couple (at least) of wickets before close.

Just keep on batting for as long as they can. If it does end in a draw the team thats scores the most in the first innings wins the game.
