Birmingham Bears (A), quarter final
« on: July 05, 2023, 03:33:22 PM »
Lawrence included in the squad.

Harmer, Allison, Beard, Buttleman, Cook, Critchley, Das, Khushi, Lawrence, Nijjar, Pepper, Rossington, Sams, Snater, Walter, Westley

It'll be tough, but the team will have got lots of confidence from the Surrey win.

Thankfully England realise Lawrence is not good enough for England and we’ll get the benefit a little longer

 One game shot out, everyone has to be on the top of the game, won and lost on fine margins unless someone gets that more luck . Go for it .

Sorry, I don't know how a professional sportsman can be allowed to let himself get into that shape. The club are obviously turning a blind eye to it. His glovework at home to Middx was painful and his lack of mobility is not helping.
As for taking a quick single......

He's our third best wicket keeper and not making any runs. Currently he's a liability. Need to get him off the wage bill at the end of the season. And you are correct - how can any professional sportsman with any self respect and ambition be so over weight?

Absolutely nothing to lose, everyone expects Essex to lose, I expect them to get smashed. They can go out and have some fun.

Just dont get why we play both Snater and Beard. 2 overs bowled amongst them.

Good bowling performance by Harmer. He always turns it on when it matters.

Got a real chance here. Please Rossington find some form tonight.
