decent day, my prediction we bowl them out on an overcast day for 250ish and sun comes out needing a steady 50 in 20 overs
not really pushed 1st session, bess had 1 dropped, hopefully refreshed pace attack with new ball after snap
What a pathetic bowling show, we had them at 25-3 and a full day today to knock them out. And by the sounds of it, they just coasted it today with the bat. A win and five straight draws now, not good enough Im afraid!.
To be fair to Yorkshire, the 5 draws and bonus pts aren’t too bad as it stands. We’re in third place and above 3 counties who have won an extra game. The bonus pts for drawing are over generous but no complaint in this case. Also there have been several absentees namely Coad, Ballance, Kohler-Cadmore, Willey, Fisher and Bairstow so third at this stage is acceptable in my opinion.
I think Yorkshire have done just fine as well. We haven't lost a game and are only behind two counties we have yet to play. For different reasons to be missing most of Bairstow, Willey, Coad, Ballance, Cadmore, Fisher, Leach, Rauf, Root and Malan for at least one game but some for every game they have done well. Interestingly this afternoon at Doncaster the second 11 play a T20 game. It's going to be interesting to see if any of the missing bunch pop up for a warm up game before the T20 starts on Wednesday.
You can bet the Southern teams will be worried mostly about us and Lancashire. You can get 11/2 for Yorkshire however ( got to be good eh ? )
I think Wiley’s team in the IPL have qualified for play offs but he hasn’t been picked regularly. Has anyone heard if he’s due back for Yorkshire’s first T20 ?
https://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/spo...s-yorkshire-ccc-extend-unbeaten-start-3704300 Wiley could miss the first three. Root and Brook available for the first three. Rashid, Cadmore and Malan are all available. Rauf also available for a few games alongside Khan who makes his debut. What's happened with Olivier? There were contract issues as he's no longer Kolpak but it seems to have gone quiet.
As far as I know his contract wasn’t renewed. He went straight into SA team so he wouldn’t have been available that much any way
Rashid, Kohler-Cadmore and Shadap Khan played for the 2nd team in T20 yesterday and we beat Lancs. Khan and Rashid took a couple of wickets each
Great stuff. I think we stand a great chance of winning the whole tournament for the first time despite England call ups.
It's about time we had a bit of success in the T20. Our record to date in it for the size of our county/club is dire.
There’s a good preview report for the T20 series on the Yorks site giving availability details of the players. Don’t know how to do a link thing
