Is this the first time we've bowled a side out ?

Ever?

Bad light stopped play after 1 ball if our innings...the locals sounded annoyed to say the least!

This is certainly the first time this season we have taken maximum bowling points and denied the opposition any batting points. I would even go so far as to say this might be the first time we have done this in 3 stints in division 1.

Durham must be pig sick

There in half a day's play you can see an escape route for the Pears in Div 1. Kabby knocking over the top order with the rest picking up the scraps. Means a lot of overs for Kabby though!

Those in blue and yellow tinted sunglasses have come to the realisation that

If scores like this keep happening here, a points deduction is inevitable, if only to keep the moaners from other counties happy.

"Kabir, whose bowling would have done the national side credit, finished with six good wickets for 68 runs, while Mason gave him superb support with three wickets. Were Simon Jones fit and firing, Worcestershire would indeed be a team to fear in conditions like these. If they can play a fit team and find more self-belief, they should yet prove worthy of the top division this season. "

That's a great report. Nice to see someone offering some encouragement for a change, and not just saying we're bottom of the table for a reason, etc.

Big opportunity for Tulip today, no need to rush, just a steady accumulation will do. Not impressed with his contribution so far this season. Everyone talks highly of the guy so at some point he must deliver.

What kind of target should we aim for ? 250 ?

There's a Basil 'piece' about to start on H&W

95-4 at the mo.

Kervezee 55 n.o., nobody else really done much.

250 lead would be great!!

250 would be fanatstic

Kervezee gone...we're buggered!

116-6 apart from Alexei (66) very poor show so far.

Possible dodgy track? Always a chance of sneaking a win!!

really need to set them minimum 150 to stand a chance even if the pitch is playing up
