Norwell has a heel injury, hopefully back soon. He is somewhat injury prone? A lot of promise but rarely fit for a sustained period.

Good to hear. A true Bear

Any team news yet for Essex?

Thought I'd start the thread for the Essex game.

Can we build on the win at Trent Bridge?
What team changes do you expect to see?

Mousley to start to cover for Sibley? What's happened to Henry Brookes? Perhaps he comes in as well?

Yes, what a brilliant run chase. Well done to Tim Bresnan! I'm happy to be proved wrong! This should give the team massive confidence now!

Unlikely, but can the lower order put up a fight?

The Bears are really hamstrung by not having Sibley in both innings. Daft rule in cricket not to be allowed a sub for any injuries.

A good stand between Hain & lamb....can we pull off an unlikely win? Still a tall order to get another 168.....if only Sibley could bat!

My first post guys. I think we'll be bowled out cheaply. Batting couldn't have gone worse with Sibley out.
