Fringe players like Danny Lamb, Charlie Tear George Thomas, Harrison Ward etc have been told they'll be released.

No way Kai can open surely? Like I said earlier in the thread the likes of Hamza should knocking on the door asking for a go. Do we accept Davies keeping and batting 6/7? Or have Kai Smith's below average keeping? We're a bit stuck here.

We've done alright in the end there, we'd have lost that game a couple of years ago. We'd have folded.

We bank the points and move on.

New ball taken, this is the game now...

The best/worst 12 of all time

I can't believe that from Mousley

They might be trying to bring Farhan Ahmed through. I'd still be surprised if he come though.

Apparently we're in for a spinner and he's on the radar.

They stick with them too. The likes of Wharton and Hill barely made a run for 2 seasons but they stuck with them. Hill even become a front line seamer. Luxton, until this game, had done nothing and he'd played a fair bit for his age. Revis looks a very solid all rounder, genuine top 6 bat who can give good overs with the ball. They really do give local lads chances, and stick with them.

I think we're a bit quicker to write players off sometimes, and have a tendency to look out rather than look within when it comes to our squad.

Big picture, in this game thus far, they've just bowled far better than we did.

Keeping situation is clearly a proper conundrum for us. Kai is, currently, a below average gloveman. Davies is a very serviceable gloveman but cannot buy a run right now. What do we do? I feel keeping for hundred odd overs then opening is something Davies cannot cope with, understandably so. He may do better at 6?

Vansh or Shaikh should be smashing Westwood’s door wanting to open, imo.

That's a terrific grab from Davies, don't think it would have carried to slip. He may be short on runs but he really is the best gloveman at the club right now.

Yeah probably not bowled well enough for long enough to create enough pressure. Maybe haven't always had people on from the right ends either. Couple of decent LBW shouts but we've not looked too penetrative.

Hassan Ali in the Yorkshire squad for tomorrow.

Would have thought this means Michael Booth doesn't play the next 2 games then? As Beau will obviously be playing id have thought?

Yes, actually a left arm spinner, not an off spinner; but I agree - a good move that shows ambition.

Cheers, id literally not heard of the lad til last week.

Indian off spinner has signed for next 2 4day matches.

Charlie Dagnall confirmed it on X.

Rennards. There's absolutely loads though and there all pretty good. Gutted I can't make it. Enjoy.

One of my favourite players growing up, absolutely loved him, always had time for the Junior Bears and would stop and have a chat and a laugh. RIP Pipes. So sad.
