Yeah, several big names missing. We might have half a chance!

or perhaps not

250-1 with nearly 10 overs left. Unless Jimmy the Weighell can spark a death overs collapse then 350 looks on the cards......

...... no matter how many Yorkies are missing

Yep. TKC finally out for 164 but a huge score seems certain. They probably have enough already unless Latham gets 150.

Decent finish to keep them to 328. Still more than enough imo flat pitch or not unless someone plays a brilliant innings and gets decent support. I suppose stranger things have happened this season.

I wonder why Cam Steel isn't playing?

Even with their success against derby, I can't help but feel that having Richo at 4 and Poynter at 6 suggests a lack of batting

which is a problem, because we've already demonstrated that we can't bowl

and we play Pringle, but he only bowls 2 overs? so he's presumably in for his batting.... gawd help us

Ironic Yorkies big guns had been playing K-Cadmore wouldn't have. Destroyed us for Worcs a few years back iirc. Actually didn't think we bowled badly apart from Wieghell -rarely have I seen such contrasting performances in consecutive home games.

Yeah, Weighell all over the place and I suppose the problem is a lack of pace in the attack makes it hard to get wickets with the new ball. Have a feeling 300 plus will be on the cards every time!

Great start! Colly and Clark gone already. Already in the last chance saloon - need a big hundred from Latham.

James Weighell, directed Frankenstein and The Old Dark House. It had been bothering me.
