Stirling misses out due to Ireland commitments.
Disappointing no live stream due to being on Sky Sports !! As I don't have Sky Sports I am restricted to following on Crickinfo !!
Here we go again! Already 3 down, against the bottom team in the Group, who have only won 1 game! Once again, Yates fails to capitalise. And once again, Davies fails as an opener. When will Management learn the lessons of this campaign?!

Cum on U Bears.
Worcs one win from 11, forgot who that was against.
Moeen back, with a short boundary, probably need 250.

To be fair, I don’t think there was much Davies could have done about that.
"To be fair, I don’t think there was much Davies could have done about that".
What about Brathwaite?
Magic from Adam once again.
Yes, take that @ 3 for 2.
No idea if it's enough though.
Surely, we can bowl less wides than then though.
After 6 overs we were 79/3 Worcs 31/3. Looking good Their record of 19 in wides and no ball is quite shocking. Surely we can do better as Brathwaite will only bowl 4 overs max!!
That has to be one of the most convincing wins ever over our neighbours.
Another terrific win. Great to do it in front of a big crowd and on tv as well. Very tight in the group now though so our good NRR could come in handy.
If you watched it on Sky, you probably don't need to read my report but here it is:

Adam Hose has been amazing in this T20 campaign. Dan Mousley did well with bat and ball. We don't need Stirling! When, if ever will Woakes be fit?
Just got back. The usual 'top order 3 down before Powerplay' scenario but we had runs on the board so not as bad as other times. Thought Mousley was a revelation first with bat and then ball, talk about grabbing an opportunity with both hands. Hose was just superb and his timing is so good on authentic cricket shots that you wonder why he hasn't made it in CC cricket. So pleased to get that out of the way, Pollock, Munro, Moeen and Bravo could have been a real fight had we not made 200+ yet again and especially after that showboating from Stanley when he got 2 in 2 after bowling utter tosh, as many wides as legitimate deliveries, nothing worse than a show-off bowler giving someone a send off when he has spent most of his spell trying just to hit the strip.
That was very fun, as I said after the other game if we had good openers we would be lethal.
Watching Hose is an absolute pleasure - he's always looked like he's had the potential to be very good but looked like he might never realise it.
Great to win in front of a big crowd, Mousley looked like he really enjoyed it and has to stay in the team. Does Stirling come back in for Yates? Stirling and Brathwaite look like the two weakest players at the moment!
I hadn't realised that was the biggest run victory in domestic T20 - thanks GS. 2 big games coming up Yorks and Lancs = my view from a big distance is keep to a winning side and leave Stirling out.
