I feel so ignorant. The only sport I even acknowledge is football!!
Like yourself a big Bears fan NLHWC. I see Derbyshire's last wicket has added quite a few runs on which leaves us facing around 250 max to overtake rather than the 150 it looked like being earlier. Got to say I've been impressed with Brown since taking over from Giles-there seems to be a real winning mentality at Edgbaston with a lot of exciting players coming through so fingers crossed we can at last get something good going in the T20 (how many times have we lost in the 1/4 finals of that?) as well as longer forms.
I love cricket. Never understand how the county scene survives with such low crowds?
It was frustrating as hell, but we're still in a very good position, 212 behind with all wickets intact. And he's a stubborn lower-order bat, Palladino-he actually hit a 100 as night-watchman against the touring Australian's last season! We sounded like a well-oiled machine for the first two sessions, but then the weakness in the depth of the available bowling attack was exposed. Hannon-Dalby and Milnes are the fourth/fifth choice backup options and that pace attack was heavily reliant on the (truly brilliant) Chris Wright. Rankin and Barker will be back soon-and hopefully Woakes will be available for some games at least. The worry is if Wright gets into the England squad-and he is looking like a genuine Test class bowler at the moment.
Jeetan Patel's form is a worry too-he's too good in English conditions for the Kiwi's not to be tempted to recall him for their forthcoming tour, and we don't really have a proper second spinner with Metters injured. Sorry if you're reading, Besty: prove me wrong!
