We needed 63 to win and were firm favourites, but if either of those batters had gone, then who knows!.
Jonny Bairstow got 97 off 88 playing for Yorks seconds. Best news for us all season and more so, for England.
Like our expensive temporary imports, Jonny will not be around Headingley for too long. I'll predict two, maybe three, games then we won't see him again this season.
I hope after he plays the two home county championship games, they let him play a T20 before he goes off on international duty. Finlay Bean had another good knock in the same game.
It’s to be hoped we’re not paying Mickey Edwards too much …. He is only grade cricket standard in Australia and is in his late twenties with few games experience in his belt
Great to have YJB back for two games. It's a shame we don't have Root who's spent the IPL being the water boy, but then he played Golf instead of trying to keep Yorkshire up last season.
And now it’s 1 for 2. Another for Coad. Not sure what Labuschagne is doing playing for them, unless he loves Welsh cakes
Good camera coverage today on YouTube by the way. Almost Sky Sports standard from Yorkshire Cricket TV. Much better than the usual buffering stuff with only one camera that doesn’t move from the square. Must resist watching all day though!
I reckon that we need Fisher to get his form and fitness. Coad is steadily reliable but we need a Trueman ! Lyth has just dropped a sitter
I can’t abide watching Labushagne … 10 off 70 deliveries in 2nd Div is not good for a supposedly top batter
