I know it's the first Cham[pionship match of the new season, but the Bears will have to sort things out.

Against Kent currently, they are struggling at 79-4 following on from Kents' 504-9!!!
Bears were 346 in their first innings, and made to follow-on.

They are going to struggle this season.

The batting looks so weak.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Yeah, we had a right going over. The batting, to be fair, wasn't that bad... 346 & 280, but the bowling???....... Kent 504-9 dec.?

Hence us losing by 8 wickets. Kent 124-2 in their second innings.

I see The Bears tied their Royal London 50 over cup match with Yorkshire.

Bears 270-8
Tykes 270-9

MELON OUT.

 

[HeathfieldRoad1874]

Think I will go back out. I have watched 5 mins of the cricket ODI and we have lost two wickets.

LOL, I thought it was just me. Turned on about the same time as you, by the looks of it.

 

[JuanPabloAngel]

England should have been nudging 400 but will be lucky to get to 350 now.

Good recovery from Pakistan, who were taken to the cleaners in the first 10 overs.

Some dubious shot selection by England though, it has to be said.

 

[The Fear]

Great series for England that, lovely timing for the World Cup. Enjoyed those matches
