Pringle 3-10 in 3 overs including Mustard for 53.

[captaincolly]

Going to be a simple win but they've still managed the trademark top order collapse. 112-4 and Stokes who will probably just play one proper game has 71 of them.

So presumably Colly isn't playing in T20 if he's not involved in the warm ups.

Mustn't be. At least not from the start. Unless they're wrapping him in cotton wool hoping he'll be ok but that'd be a mistake imo.

[captaincolly]

Going by Lewis' comments on the website Colly is fit and will bat at 3 in the T20's. There's no mention of an injury so presumably he's ready to start.

Squad for tomorrow. The Richardson injury must be fairly serious, it seems ages ago since he hurt his leg.

Richardson"nearing a return to the squad".
No Salisbury!-was he signed only for CC?
Colly definitely in last chance saloon.

Didn't notice Salisbury wasn't in - must have just been signed for the CC. Unless he's injured!

I thought it had been extended until the end of the season but there was never any official confirmation as far as I know so perhaps it hasn't. It'd be typical if we find a good bowler but can't keep him.

Think that was one of JJ's "I'm fairly confident..." predictions.

Yep. His inference at the forum was that the loan would be extended and I think Emmerson has mentioned it since but he was probably just interpreting JJ's vague statement as a confirmation.

how are we fancying our chances, tonight?

I fear this T20 campaign will be even worse than last year so not confident at all. If Stokes and Tahir do something special and Colly can return to form there might be a chance! Yorkshire missing players but we have a lineup that I think won't be able to set or chase above par scores and a bowling unit that won't restrict the opposition to par scores either.
Apart from that I think we might do ok!

So long as you don't bat Stokes down at no.8, use nine different bowlers, and go all-out-pace in the PP, you've got a chance.
