Why do I bother...

by LeFromage Thu 10 Dec 2009, 19:32

Because you're tired of eating with your hands?

by JKLever Thu 10 Dec 2009, 20:39

It's the taking part that counts...

Revised points system in the championship next season:

Win - 16 points (formerly 14)
Draw - 3 points ( was 4)
Bonus points available for the first 110 overs of the first innings (was 120)

Good old ECB: tinker around the edges but do nothing substantial. Bonus points are counter-productive and need to be scrapped.

by JKLever Fri 11 Dec 2009, 20:42

At least there is a 13 point gap between winning and drawing rather than 10.

Probably won't stop the Bears crabbing their way to mid-table security on the back of three wins though!

Three wins? Confident, Bas.

I wouldn't wish three wins on the dreaded Bears even if there was a lottery win riding on it!! Evil or Very Mad

The deal is done. We're getting Tait for our T20 campaign.

Not a fan of his, but atleast it'll add some raw pace to our meagre bowling line-up.

by JKLever Mon 14 Dec 2009, 16:32

Scattergun Tait for T20...? oh dear

by Brass Monkey Mon 14 Dec 2009, 16:34

He'll do alright... for the first 8 balls. Then he's f*cked. More f*cked than Fat Sam P stealing a quick single.

by DJ_Smerk Mon 14 Dec 2009, 16:38

Aslong as he gets a wicket with each ball, I cgaf.

Worcestershire sign Phil Jaques as overseas player for the first half of next season. That'll do for me!

by JKLever Fri 18 Dec 2009, 16:37

James Middlebrook signs for Northants...

Rory Hamilton-Brown-Cap joins Surrey, as they become the county with the most punchable captain.

This could end in tears - a wet-behind-the-ears captain in charge of a squad with some fairly combustible characters in it. All I can say is that Surrey must have made Hamilton-Brown an offer he couldn't refuse - one with plenty of zeros on the end.

Kabir Ali failed to report back to New Road last Monday for pre-season training - speculation is that a deal will be done to allow him to join the home for knackered Worcestershire bowlers - Hampshire

When does the CoCri season start?

by LeFromage Fri 05 Feb 2010, 19:27

Didn't notice it mentioned here, but one-time fast-bowling prospect Mark Footitt has joined Derby - where young cricketers go to die.

Early April - Worcestershire's first game is 12/04/2010

Notts have signed Hashim 'the beard' Amla to cover for God II early season.

Essex reject.

Hopefully, Cozzy will unleash hell on the rest of the teams, espesh Worcs!

He was certainly munching down on the delicious pies that Worcs served up today.
