Good win for the bears against the Surrey all stars who despite missing around 15 players to the hundred still managed to play three ex internationals Sibley,Burns and Foakes.

Enjoyed that win .Listened to the final 10 overs when Sibley(ton and on the losing side)was doing his stuff only for the internet where I'm staying to go down before the last ball.
Forget about "The Hundred" 600 plus balls at more than a run a ball ending with Surry needing a 6 off the last ball those at Rugby got value for money.

Interesting that Foakes didn’t keep and the keeper missed a fairly routine chance.

Strange.

Strange.

Also the guy is 25 so not a young lad and has hardly played any first team cricket

Probably the worst county atm to try and come through the ranks at - with their big budget approach. Also with the downgrading of the 50 over comp a lot of counties take on players (mainly from ECB premier divisions) on small contracts tocover this period

I think they said he had come through the academy.

Sad news about Graham Thorpe. Fine batsman in his day.

 

[chiefdave]

55 is no age

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Phoenix women making a right pig ear of batting today.They are 23 for 4 after 50 chasing 115.Hope the men fair better

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

All out for 54.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Stokes gone first ball duck Chargers 24 for 3 off 27 balls

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

I must be the only one watching.Bowlers done their job bowled them out for 83.Pitch not the best but surely got to win this.

I am watching they bowled well

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Win easy.Done the r/r the power of good 61 balls still left.

 

[Terry Gibson's perm]

They made mugs of the sky commentary team who were saying it’s a bad wicket.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Hiding from the heat watching Originals v Chargers .The Originals have set off at a great rate 3 a ball off the first 20 balls.Stokes just come on slowed it down slightly they only got 13 off his first 5.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

The Originals 84 for 1 off the first 30 balls, then only 30 off the next 55 balls.Then 28 off last 18.Very strange innings.

 

[David O'Day]

that doesn't look good

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Stokes injured now looks as though he might have done his hamstring.Being helped off to an ambulance

 

[Jonny]

First the Bears lose and now Stokes is fucked. Can this day get worse?

 

[chiefdave]

Why the fuck is Stokes even playing in this? Supposed to be on a managed workload.

Can't help but feel if it was a Durham game in the Metro Bank or Blast the ECB wouldn't let him within a million miles of playing

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Need 2 runs a ball for the last 62 balls think not.Even with Brook there.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Me and my big mouth Brook and Pooran motering now.

Me and my big mouth Brook and Pooran motering now.

Good knock by Brook but the task has got more difficult with his dismissal.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

All change again Brook gone pressure on again.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Stokes back nothing known yet.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Pooran taking it away what an innings.

 

[StrettoBoy]

Great knock by Pooran sees them home.

Entertaining match.

It seems on Chris Woakes is on a managed workload as he is never available for anything apart from England, he should be having a run out in the 50 over cup to keep ticking over.

Desperately sad about Thorpe. Battling anxiety and depression that ended in him taking his own life. Mental health is a bitch.

Maybe more people like our director of performance or whatever will address this, to late for him, but I'd be reassured that it must exist in the set up now!

Also shows how hard it can be to treat. If you read the article it seems they've tried every type of treatment possible and he would have been in a position, and had the backing of the PCA, to get the best treatment you can get, but in the end it sadly made no difference.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Phoenix win tonight.Still in it.

 

[thekidfromstrettoncamp]

Stokes out the rest of the season left hamstring tear confirmed.
