County Cricket 2017 season

[Arthur Crabtree]

Ton up for Ballance. Fantastic return to form.

And good effort from Patterson to support him. 250 may be on here.

Surprise none of the counties have tried to persuade Darren bravo to turn kolpack.
unlikely to get the big bucks from T20 franchise league and it is quite obvious WICB don't want him either.

Boom great for my Fantasy team then.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good to get a couple of wickets before Patterson comes on. Nothing for Tim yet.

Maybe a shared day in the end. Yorkshire's if they add to the wickets tonight.

Good to see Kleinveldt grinding out a score.

I was toying with the idea of Coad for my FL team but I thought he might get very few games.

I must admit I'd never heard of him!

58-5. Bloody hell!

Surely time England asked Yorkshire to rest Ben Coad.

It is only us you are playing remember. You shouldn't be too surprised.

I thought Hants had the stronger side at 11am. Only day one though. The new ball has taken a lot of wickets everywhere today, but making runs has got easier later on.

We only took one wicket in the first 15 overs, and two wickets in the first 34 overs, so we didn't do much better with it. Welcome to another relegation battle...

[Arthur Crabtree]

Admittedly a good time to be playing Yorkshire. But even so, only one day of the season gone.

With an exception.

Gary Balance is 24*. Has he done enough to be back in the England side for the South Africans?

Facetiousness apart, hopefully this start triggers a better season for the Zimbabwe born batter.

Zimbabwe born? Ballance is born and bred in Yorkshire! Comes from the Calderdale town of Hararefax

Ballance is back to his old self, looks a lot confident at the crease and any remotely loose deliveries punished with crunching aggression. Just hope England (Strauss in particular) does not come sniffing.
