The Cricket Thread

[Villan57]

Poor England side, I'm no Cricket expert, never played except at school but even I can tell half of those aren't even good county players.

 

[Fulford]

SELECTORS OUT!

The Bears beat Derbyshite by 3 wickets in their Vitality Blast match today.

Derbys. 160-8

Bears 161-7 with an over to spare.

What is it about English sport that we never put out our best teams.

A brilliant and quite correct rant. The slashing at balls especially, I am sure sirdennis could confirm, is just amateur nonsense. Or more slashing across and at the ball.

Nasser is spot on. The technique or lack of it is dreadful.

Seems to me the batting coaches are trying to be too clever maybe to appear to justify the money they are earning , but in essence the basic principals of top class batting especially in test matches haven't changed at all.

Should have been enjoying a good day today, but instead we lost almost 2 days.

 

[astonion2]

Bears away at Northants tonight (18.30) and away tomorrow at Leics (18.45)

 

[astonion2]

The Bears won again scoring 170 and then bowling out Northants for 115.

Bears 190/7 off their 20. Leics 155 all out.

Just another day at the office

Lancs up next on Friday at Edgbaston.

I missed last nights' win by the Bears - too busy watching Wales if I'm honest.

The Bears appear to have some good young talent with the ball, but to me, there's still a question mark on the batting atm.

An even more impressive batting collapse than the England men's team can usually manage

And this after England amassed 396 for 9d

It's Vitality Blast day again today.

This time, the Bears are away against Durham at Chester-le-Street with a 2:30 kick off...... that's of course if it gets under way, as we are into the monsoon season now.

 

[astonion2]

Durham 185 so will need a good effort from the bears to win this one.

 

[Pride of Lions]

Bears lost by 22 runs.

We go again...........
