This a smokescreen then?

[everton carr]

Without a doubt a smokescreen great shame if things can't get sorted with Wayne White a real loss on the field if not in the dressing room

Hasn't White had enough chances, he's fallen out with the management at every single club he's been at? This is the third such incident at GR that I can remember regarding him.

[Hooky]

What's the score? Been on the pi55 again? A real shame if White goes as the talents there.

[everton carr]

By all accounts white had a major bust up with McDonald during a practice match a couple of days before the first 20\20 match and has not been seen at the ground since

[SemperEadem]

Everton any info on the Piper issue?

[everton carr]

Don't want to be a GRASS on the Piper sacking

[SMX11]

Deary me.

[Hooky]

McDonald was very evasive when asked about the WW injury on radio leicester the other night.

[Ross-Kemp]

Not a bad day.

407 all out, Worcs are currently 182/4.

[Ross-Kemp]

Wow, Worcs finished 193/7.

4 wickets for 24 runs.

[Ross-Kemp]

Brilliant evening session. Need to put them to bed early in the morning.

Richard Rae remarked yesterday that he thought the wicket might deteriorate, and that batting last might be tricky.

Ideally a lead of 100+, build on it, (no 40odd all out lads)! Then see what happens into Day 4.

Competitive again....Just a shame that we've lost so much to the weather these last few weeks !

I agree about the weather, the only saving grace is that it's affected everyone else nearly as much as us so we haven't lost too much ground.

I think if we can skittle the last 3 out for less than 50 tomorrow coupled with a 200/245, we'd be seriously in with a shout on day 4.

Maybe not.

Worcs are currently 292/7.

[SMX11]

Looks as if a draw is the best we can hope for now.

[Stinkenzo]

Is this the bit where we bowl you out for 40 something again

[Ross-Kemp]

Effectively 118/2, most likely scenario from here is a draw.

Hopefully Horton & Cosgrove can add some serious runs on tonight, either way it'll make tomorrow interesting.

[Hooky]

I went down. Sat directly opposite the cathedral and it was an interesting days play.

 

Nothing much in the wicket. We'll need to try and get it to reverse swing late on tomorrow to win. That's what happened towards the end of Day 2.

 

Locals were nice, a mix of brummies and all sorts. A few Leics there n'all.

[Ross-Kemp]

I think Cosgrove has shit the bed.

He's smashing it all over now, currently 300/2 (358 in front).

Cosgrove on 145 from 180 balls and Horton on 116.

[Ross-Kemp]

Would like to see them get a 300 partnership then declare.

36 runs away.

[Ross-Kemp]

Cosgrove went lbw for 146.

Declared afterwards, Worcs need 365 to win.

[Ross-Kemp]

Worcs are 67-3.

Come on County.

[katieakita]

Kicking off, Worcs batsman given out LBW walked off pitch and the Umpire changed his mind and recalled him. Cosgrove steaming.

Could be a big talking point if Worcs get over the line.
