veloman Posted August 1, 2011 Share Posted August 1, 2011 Yep, great result for England and another great result is possible for The Bears against Wankashire - excellent performance from Neil Carter to put us in a strong position. Agreed about the 'youth' of the Engalnd squad and there is another player who appears to have great class - James Taylor of Leicestershire. I think I heard Warks have made enquiries about 'buying-up' his contract; reckon he would be a great acquisition. It may enhance his England propects moving from bottom of 2nd Divison to top 3 of the 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jezza Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Great game and result - need to finish them off at the true home of cricket - Edgbaston(!!!). At least India have an upcomong tour of Australia to rebuild their shattered confidence!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Currently 181-6, Troughton just went for 49. Hopefully we can get to 250 at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Ah ! I didnt realise they had dodgy pitches there, so take your point. However, I wonder if they will have 8 points deducted for it - like we did :evil: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 280 all out, Woakes with 60. What a player he's going to be and a Villa fan Just seen that Lancashire had 40 extras, with 28 no balls. :shock: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I wonder if they will have 8 points deducted for it - like we did :evil: Completely different - Warks were fined for a badly prepared pitch, the liverpool pitch is a results pitch. That's the advantage a home team are allowed - I didn't mean to infer underhand methods - 'dodgy' probably an incorrect choice. "Another 'lively' pitch" would have been more approproate.

blandy Posted August 2, 2011 Moderator Share Posted August 2, 2011 Conditions up here as well would have played a part - warm, humid - great for bowling, not for batting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Milfner Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 Bears 108-4 and need another 180-odd. Looks like a draw or possible Lancs win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pooligan Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Bears need rain, no chance of winning but i can see them collapsing to Keedy like they did at Edgbaston. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted August 4, 2011 Author Share Posted August 4, 2011 5 down. Need 94 to win, not sure how long is left in the game. No more than 15 overs I'd imagine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
