Anyone watching on the stream? Norwell and OHD were very good up top. Economical and lots of play and misses unlucky not to find the edge.
Miles, Brookes and Bresnan much more expensive.

I agree. Norwell and OHD were unlucky. Miles looked as innocuous as usual and Henry B, still has a lot to do to persuade me he's a real prospect. I know lots rate him and he is genuinely quick, but far too wayward - and that hasn't improved much in the couple of years since his breakthrough. Pop has a lot of work still to do there.

Squad for Durham Friendly tomorrow:-

Rhodes, Bresnan, Briggs, Henry Brookes, Burgess, Hain, OHD, Hose, Lamb, Miles, Mousley, Norwell and Yates

I guess all will get a bit of a run-out (not a run out hopefully !).

Exactly EB, but as I say in my initial 'Welcome' post, the new settings don't allow spaces - so I can't be Bald Reynard any more and I'm sure a few other past friends, can't be 'the people they once were' !

NB I note Streetly and a couple of others have put an underscore after their first name, to allow a second. If only I'd thought of that ! Probably too late now - as (plain) 'Reynard' is registered ? Though you (EB) managed it - the privileges as Admin ?!

How strange! I can only think that I was able to do it as I registered in the process of setting up the forum, rather than in the usual way. I just tried adding a space to your username but it wouldn't let me. I've added an underscore instead though, if that's OK now?

Brilliant, thanks for doing that Jonathan. It's good to be back !

Hi everybody. I'm SO glad the / a Forum is back up and running. Last season, short as it was, was a nightmare, without a beloved Bears Unofficial Forum to retreat to ! Well done to the WCCC Official site for reporting the news (as relations with the previous Unofficial Forum, were, shall we say, a bit 'strained' at times !). More importantly, well done to Jonathan and Terry for getting it going again. I just hope it IS as lively and frank as the BUFF - though perhaps with a little more decorum on behalf of posters !

My only regret is that the new settings do not allow spaces in Usernames - so my previous incarnation, BALD Reynard, can not be used ! I hope my past (good) contributions will be remembered (and OCCASIONAL minor 'misdemeanours' forgotten !) - and I help establish this Forum as THE place to get informative and honest opinion on our beloved WARWICKSHIRE (ie not Birmingham) Bears !
