Yorkshire away on Tuesday at York Cricket Club.
Same team? I note Dan Mousley played for Berkswell this weekend...
Has anyone ever been York Cricket Club before? What's it like? I remember we won the 4 day game there in 2019.

Yes I was there in 2019. Really enjoyed it. Not as lovely as some out grounds but with a decent crowd in (3,000 or so) and an ice cream on the go really good atmosphere. The club were good hosts and obviously getting a first class game was a big event for them. Usual down sides to out ground cricket - only 1 temporary stand and a bit cramped for leg room, if you get a chance to go I'd turn up early with your own chair. You'll need a plan B if it rains because no shelter on the ground really, but centre of York a quick bus ride or about half an hours walk down the road.
RB
13 man squad, including Dan Mousley (as predicted by Andy):-
Rhodes, Bethell, Ethan Brookes, Bulpitt, Burgess, Carver, Garrett, Johal, Lamb, Mousley, Pollock, van Vollenhoven & Yates
If he is fully fit, I'm sure Dan will be straight back in, but then, which 2 will be left out ? KvV would be one, but I can't predict the other.

He might come in for Carver...

Yep, thinking about it, you're probably right Andy. Dan's off spin has come on well this last year and he does merit a place in the bowling (though he didn't have a fantastic T20 run). Of course, we desperately need a longer batting lineup (Carver was going in at 8, which is way higher than his record supports) and DM at 4, 5 or 6, with Brookes dropping down to 7 and Bethell down to 8, is far better.

Dan M is in for Bulpitt, Carver stays. They've obviously gone with the extra spinner / batsman instead of a seamer - shame, I would have liked the left armer to be given another chance (though I'm sure we'll see him again). Team:-
Pollock, Yates, Rhodes, Burgess, Mousley, Lamb, Bethell, E Brookes, Carver, Garrett & Johal.
We won the toss and elected to bowl.

Although York wasn't Carver's home Club ground, he will have bowled there a lot (he played for Sheriff Hutton Bridge for 4 years, in the same League) - and it might well be a wicket that takes spin (a lot of Yorkshire Club grounds do).

Is anyone able to hear the live audio?

And of course, an 'old boy', returning to a County who have released him, is always wanting to prove a point ! Added to the fact, that he should well know his opponents batting weaknesses (though the downside, is they'll know his bowling weaknesses!).

Does anybody have a link for the livestream?
No video livestream today, audio is through the bbc website or sport app.
Thanks

The extent to which Carver and Rhodes have been tonked by the Yorkie batsmen today, clearly shows they know the bowling weaknesses of their former team mates ! Carver 10 overs, 1 for 64, Rhodes 5 overs, 1 for 48 ! Mind you, Ethan Brookes got whopped for 73 in his 7 overs ! Yorkshire finished on 320 for 7 (only George Garrett came out with any distinction - 2 for 24, off 7 overs). Even if it is small ground and our batsmen have been in form recently (well, one batsman, each match !), that is a huge ask of us ?

32 off the final over from Brookes, I imagine that could prove extremely costly.
Going at over 10 an over in a 50 over game does not make great reading for the lad.

I think, in Ethan's perfomances for the First's and the Second's this season, he clearly is now a batsman, who bowls part-time. He's not the all rounder he once promised to be. He shouldn't be bowling 7 overs in a 50 over game, one or two change / impact overs at best. They gambled with 3 front line seamers, one of which (the Captain !), going for over 9 an over, so it was inevitable that they'd have to turn to him. The experiment of 3 spinners, with Carver in, didn't really work out. Lets just hope Ethan shows he is worth his place as a batsman alone.

That over about sums Pollock up, hits two sixes in it then gets caught on the boundary going for another one.
Sprint not marathon with him at times
So Garrett goes for little over 3 an over but bowls 3 overs short - C'mon Mr Rhodes don't be another Darren Maddy.
Garrett was injured, acording to the BBC comentators.
Game has well and truly gotten away from us here. Not good enough with bat or ball today sadly
