\u201cIt would be special to win for Josh\u201d:\u00a0D\u2019Oliveira\u00a0ahead of Middlesex clash\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Brett D\u2019Oliveira said his Worcestershire teammates will be doing everything in their power to get back to winning ways in the Metro Bank One Day Cup against Middlesex, with the side aware of the extra gravitas heading into Friday\u2019s crunch clash.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
After a perfect start saw the Rapids go two wins from two matches, the defending champions came a cropper on Wednesday at York and return to New Road with an added incentive to get their campaign back on track.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
If facing off against the current table-toppers\u00a0wasn\u2019t\u00a0enough, Friday will see a bumper crowd turn New Road blue as the Club comes together to celebrate its annual Blue for Bakes Weekend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
Into its second year, Blue for Bakes 2026 will see the players, staff, supporters and JB33 Foundation weekend cherish Josh\u2019s legacy and champion the exceptional work of the Foundation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
A former teammate of Josh\u2019s, Brett said a victory would be a fitting way to honour the weekend.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cLast year was\u00a0a very special\u00a0celebration, and we are really excited to be able to have the chance to honour Josh again on Friday.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt would be\u00a0really special\u00a0to win for Josh, but also his family, friends, and members of the foundation.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has a massive place in the dressing room still and is very much in our thoughts, so we are desperate to try and channel that into\u00a0a good performance\u00a0tomorrow.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will be giving it our all, as we always do, in front of a big home crowd to make it as memorable a day as we can!\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"\u201cIt would be special to win for Josh\u201d:\u00a0D\u2019Oliveira\u00a0ahead of Middlesex clash\u00a0\u00a0 Brett D\u2019Oliveira said his Worcestershire teammates will…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":720996,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[34],"tags":[1721,101,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-720995","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-cricket","tag-cricket","tag-sports","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720995","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=720995"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/720995\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/720996"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=720995"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=720995"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=720995"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
