yep 1st / 2nd week in April

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Watched a couple of hours of the stream from Somerset today.

 

[1nilandwe...]

Warks up against a very depleted bowling attack this round, but if you'd have told me before the start of the season that they'd have had 4 centuries from one and a half innings, all coming from the top 3, I'd have looked very surprised indeed.

Jimmy looking imperious again today. What a man.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Another rally good day for the Bears and if he can keep fit Rushworth is a real asset in n county cricket as he takes loads of wickets and has no chance of a call up.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Watched the stream this afternoon and AD was on there you can hear in his voice how much he still loves the club.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

You Bears

 

[tisza]

Thought we'd let that one slip

 

[Boosh]

Nice commentary

nice call

Rushworth at it again another four wickets already.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Was going well but 3 wickets for 7 runs has scuppered things a little

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

Exciting at the end of the innings the last two have added 70 odd, Ali hit four sixes and OHD two

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Win

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Win

Table toppers

 

[ccfctommy]

Foakes seems to have been dropped for Ireland test and presumably for the Ashes. Bairstow in the team.

there’s worse ways to spend a bank holiday Monday

Bears winning at a canter, currently 39-0 off 5 overs needing 99 to win

I watched the live stream a very good win.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

The Bears top of the Blast , Warwickshire third in the Championship not a bad start lets hope we keep it up.

Mo to come back in the Blast as well. Tempted to head over to Derby after work on Friday, its a ground I've never visited

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Northants need 203 could be hard to get .Come on the Bears.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

4 from 4 now.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

4 from 4 now.

Maxwell not scored a run either

 

[chiefdave]

Maxwell not scored a run either

And Mo will be back this week

 

[1nilandwe...]

And Mo will be back this week

Interesting to see who Mo comes in for actually.
Already four spinners in the side, but I can't see them dropping Briggs, Mousley or Maxwell. Lintott perhaps, but his unorthodoxy is always nice to have. Could they go with five spin bowling options and drop Miles or Brookes? Or Barnard?
Whichever way it goes, somebody is going to be unlucky to miss out. And the batting order is going to look very powerful, especially if Yates and Davies continue to go well. A middle order of Maxwell, Hain, Moeen is world class.

Does anybody know if Hassan Ali is out for very long?

Why is Joe Root trying to reverse scoop in a test match, the guy can play real cricket shots and is playing like it’s silly ipl cricket.

was doing it last year. Part of this Bazball i suppose. They were all at it in NZ. Daft onewas the Irish bat doing it when they were around 100 for 5.

When he did it if he had played a straight drive he would have got four anyway.

The biased commentary?

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Bad 19th over by Brook 27 runs of it. They finished on 174/5 lost 2 wickets off the last 2 balls last 1 run out

 

[chiefdave]

The biased commentary?

the camera work. the grading is all over the place, every camera looks like its a different match. that's before you get to the camera work and the camera behind the bowlers arm constantly cutting out

Because it's Ireland. It's a test in name only
