Is Gayle off contract at the end of the season? Let's bloody hope so as it's been a pretty poor campaign overall. He can't seem to motivate the players, last week's performance against Somerset was a disgrace and what we've seen so far against Kent is just as bad. Don't get me started on another disastrous T20 effort.
https://www.theguardian.com/sport/2016/nov/14/yorkshire-andrew-gale-club-new-head-coach-cricket He signed for three years originally so should be out of contract, as I don't remember seeing anything about an extension. We should try and get Anthony McGrath back at the club. He could win Essex the county championship and he's got them to the t20 finals day this weekend and are my tip to win it over the three northern sides.
Mate of mine (from Kent) spent most of yesterday bleating on What'sAp about how Kent were rolling us over. This morning I pointed out to him that the last time Kent won the county championship was 1978 and was their 6th title. Yorkshire on the other hand last won it in 2015, our 32nd time. **Radio Silence Ensued**
To have other team 30odd for 5 and still go into 2nd innings 213 behind is appalling. Needs a total rethink at the white rose top to bottom. The top 6 is a joke. One day and T20 were a complete shambles. How have we got so bad in just a few short years???
Set for our largest ever defeat in terms of runs in the county game. 2 matches ago we were still in the running for the title.
