Rankin was a frustrating player (injuries aside) always so close to really exploding into a really top class fast bowler.

Also about time Woakes came home. Sitting on his backside doing nothing leading into a Test series isn't helping anyone (except Pakistan). Hasn't played for nearly a month - probably rules him out of Pakistan tests.

It’s helping Woakes bank balance but I hadn’t realised he wasn’t getting a game as I can’t watch the ipl as I hate it

nope don't watch myself either.
Read an article last week he hadn't had a game for ages (also that he's getting around 800k for being there!!)

Woakes played about 4 at the start wasn’t doing much going for 10 an over and was dropped for Plunkett

Lead of 9

Looks a bit in the pitch

Don’t want to be chasing much over 210ish

Hopefully rip through them again!

Bears win again

6 wicket win and a first career hundred for Will Rhodes who batted very well

A bit worried out Sibleys form and I would love to see them find a real opener for next season as we haven’t had one since Varun

Just don't see Sibley as an opener. He's a middle order hitter.
Seems crazy going into a season without specialist openers even if Rhodes is going well for now.

Sibley smashed a club record (just under 300) for the 2nds at the start of the week so it’s disappointing he didn’t carry the form in.

Great knock by Rhodes hopefully kick start his Bears career.

Maybe Div 2 isn’t a bad place to be bringing these youngsters in!

Feel for Hose not getting in he looks a decent proposition but in fairness Lamb has taken his chance at 6.

130-3 off 21
Hain 73* so far
Derbyshires game at the minute needs one of again or Hose to bat deep and just keep wickets in hand and hang in there!

Well this games done
10 an over for the last 15

Hain still there on 107 but little support.
Not a great start with some tough trips to Yorks, Lancs & Notts to come!
