[Pride of Lions]

Bears won by 86 runs. Durham all out for 226 in their second innings.

 

[The Fear]

Are we only playing one T20 v Australia?

I know we play India in a T20 next Tuesday.

Yes, weirdly, it was a one-off.

There are more against India as their tour begins.

 

[The Fear]

Very odd that was looking forward to beating them more than once!

The Bears play Nottinghamshire later today at Trent Bridge in their T20 Blast match.

 

[The Fear]

England threw it away last night, we were so in control then bish, bash, bosh!

 

[sirdennis]

The Bears thrashed Notts . Belly was his usual class self.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Yes they bowled really well and had Jeetan Patel not gone for 25-odd at the death, would have been even easier. No mean feat to stuff Notts, especially on their patch.

 

[sirdennis]

No that is a top performance.

Nearly as good as the mighty Moseley.

Do they play on that pitch across from the new Scientology place just outside Kings Heath? We drive that way to the Villa.

Yeah, and Notts. are the holders of the T20 too.....

No that is Moseley Ashfield.

Interestingly enough it used to be the Britannic Assurance ground and when I was 12 I hit my first ever six there.

Moseley's ground is in Shirley !!

Moseley's ground is in Shirley !!

Of course it is!!

 

[Pride of Lions]

Tomorrow, The Bears lock horns with The Pears at New Road in the latest T20 blast. Could be interesting............

 

[Pride of Lions]

Pears 192-7

Bears limping along at 152-8 off 17 overs.

 

[The Fear]

Enjoyed England levelling the series last night, one of those great matches that went to the wire.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

Yes it was a good watch wasn't it? Love watching Alex Hales when he is on song.

In other news, I see the Bears failed at the last against the Pears. 188/9 and a heartbreaking 4-run defeat.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Today sees the Bears up against Yorkshire at Edgbaston in another T20...

 

[The Fear]

Once again we got off to a dominant start and threw it away.

 

[Pride of Lions]

The Bears returned to winning ways today, beating Yorkshire by 8 wickets.

Yorkshire 157-7

Bears 158-2 off 15.5 overs
