Plenty of overs left today to polish them off and get to 15 points ahead of Middlesex again. Looks like there’s plenty in that wicket for Coad and Fisher
Their two main batters gone cheaply so a win is very much ours to give away now. Maybe wrap it up today, maybe by lunch tomorrow
Without reading this thread and having limited knowledge of how the points scoring works until i looked at it earlier, it looks like Yorkshire should get promoted barring Middlesex beating Sussex and the rain stopping them or of course losing, but a Sussex victory means promotion doesn’t it ?
Shame we couldn’t finish it but should be all done in the first hour tomorrow. Only 3 wickets to get so no problem (hopefully).
If yorkshire do win tomorrow Jud. (Weather permitting) A draw and 2 bonus points in the last game will get us promoted. Regardless of what Middlesex do.
We’ve won and are [emoji6] pts ahead of Middlesex so,as Hooky says, [emoji[emoji6][emoji6]] pts in last game will suffice
Excellent win mate. Let's hope us and sussex turn up for the last games. We have been known not to. 1st v 3rd 2nd v 4th. What's with all this secret messaging lol.
We need to focus on maximising the bonus points next week and force Middlesex to play for the win. I would prepare the track for a draw but most games aren't even getting to Day 4 at the moment so probably just go for the win and hope for the best.
Lancashire have decided the title race in div 1. By beating Somerset. But sadly I think not enough points on the board to stop relegation. Yorks v Lancs. The best on the calendar.
Yorkshire and Lancashire. The Cricket version of Barnsley and Rotherham as a local derby that never seems to happen at the higher level due to yoyoing between leagues.
