    anyone know why warwickshire are called the bears?
    From the coat of arms of Warwickshire, this quote from the Warwickshire county records office explains

    The Bear and Ragged Staff

    The origins of these emblems are lost in the distant past, but have been associated with the earls of Warwick since at least as early as the 14th century. William Dugdale, writing in the 1650s, said that Arthgal, an Earl of Warwick at the time of King Arthur, thought that his name came from the Welsh "artos" or bear. He also suggested that the ragged staff was chosen because Morvidus, Earl of Warwick, killed a giant with the broken branch of a tree. Of course, neither of these earls really existed and Dugdale was just recalling medieval legends. The bear was a common heraldic device and implied boldness and courage.
    always nice to learn something new. thanks. stuff of legends.

    Kent appear good enough to get promoted this year but it seems the weather is doing its best to stop us.

    Agree, MOG.

    "Watched" it online ( ie updates of score) and was sweating as the last over approached....but not to be.

    Just ordered tickets for the Oval for moi, Don & Ralph. Will you be going ?

    ( Hope you're OK , mate)

    Really !!! Hope I wasn't picking my nose !

    Another defeat for the Spitfires made worse by the cracking innings from Joe "Judas" Denley .

    Have to ask the question ...what is Nash's role in the team ? Doesn't bowl, came in at no 7 ....?
