One silver lining from the weekend for the beleaguered Pears was Australia's early exit from the Champions Trophy, which means seamer John Hastings will rejoin the county in time for Saturday's One-Day Cup semi-final. This also means a farewell to Nathan Lyon, who's undoubtedly a world-class spinner, but for one reason or another just hasn't had the same impact as his compatriot. He leaves having contributed six Championship wickets and a single One-Day Cup wicket to Worcestershire's 2017 campaign.
