I do think Bosworth Bear and AJones should have put the word Work in inverted commas!!
Enjoy the day both of you.
Quite right ! I only work half days on Fridays so I can start early haha
Can't see anything confirmed
I'd assume a couple of games in May
Don't want the pitch to offer nothing however I'd certainly be happy with a batsman friendly pitch to build some confidence for the season
Unfortunately I think we're missing at least 1 quality batsman, a spinner and fast bowler.
If our overseas players have great seasons then I reckon we could finish mid table. If we have similar injuries as previous seasons it's going to be a tough season.
On the t20 front I have a feeling we will get to finals day this season.
Welcome Fernando !
Good luck 😃
Least we are showing some ambition.
How will the 3 overseas signings work together ?
Assume Latham won't play in the Blast
Very good signing on paper.
Fingers crossed !

Please comment on what he said
We were on the wrong end of a big toss - so there you go - rest of the interview was all about making it sound as though it's no big deal.
Interview demonstrates why it's time to go...when he speaks I have zero confidence that he accepts the poor form were displaying or how to turn it around

Season can't end soon enough. Definitely need an upheaval in the management with few changes to the playing squad.
Completely agree with you AJ, Robinson has to go to start with - if Larsen has got the balls to sack the man who was on the panel appointing him (!), if not the Management Committee have to act. Once we get a new Head Coach (Trotty - if he can leave Afghanistan ?!), he needs to look at all support Coaches, with Frost first. Then the playing squad (a major overhaul, depending on contracts), then the Captain, then the recruitment policy (Overseas and home based) ....... ! A long and difficult process, but it has to start now.
100% we need top quality coaching
.I'm sure Frost is a nice bloke but our batting has been very average for years now

No one is bigger than the club but I'd pick Hain over the management any day.
I hope he comes back stronger next season. I wonder if he regrets not choosing Australia?
He must be frustrated seeing Mousley and Bethall picked over him for England
This is so poor it has to lead to big changes (which we needed last year ...)

Moeen has announced his retirement from England. But it doesn't seem likely that he'll be playing for the Bears. In hias retirement interview, he says about the future:
"A bit of franchise cricket, because I still love playing. But coaching is something I want to do — I want to be one of the best. "
Probably a good thing. We need to focus on long term players who are around the club for the whole season.
Choked again..we needed change last season..wasted another year
Invested in the T20s at the expense of Red ball..shocking performance.
4 off the 19th over...this is so poor.
Went too defensive in those middle overs
Hope it doesn't cost us
If Benjamin does get dropped, it's not the end of him, far from it. He needs to find his confidence again, possibly on loan
I wonder if Robinson is worried about dropping players because he sees it as more significant to their overall future at the Bears..because I can't understand why we're so hesitant to drop out of form players.
