Can Chris Woakes play on Sunday..... if so, I suppose that means Yorks could also have their test players.....Mmmmm.
Bresnan would surely have offered more than Holder. He looked very raw - even some of his thrown returns to Burgess were very poor. Will Rhodes be fit for Headingley? I’m still most disappointed with Sibley and to an extent, Benjamin. However, Hampshire bowled very well. Well done Keith Barker.
I hope Mr Robinson and some of the senior pros have explained the error of his ways to Benjamin....Sibley’s dismissal wasn’t very clever either! Wait for the bad ball, then hit it and we should be ok!
Dear me Paul, cheer up a bit.
We could still win this game - I think we will. We qualified for the top group of the CC. Watching some of the young lads come through has been so exciting. Yes, the T20 QF was disappointing, but we did still re@ch the knockout stage. The injuries to key players has been devastating at times. The RLC was a brilliant tournament with some ‘development’ players.
Cheer up, pal. Come and sit in block 16/17 today and I’ll share a banana and a cuppa with you 👍.
PS There’s more to the departure of KB to Hampshire than you’ve suggested.
The only inappropriate behaviour I’ve seen was the stewards removing the banner!
Photos on twitter show that his foot was on the rope. I was convinced it was ok 🤷♂️

Hi Malc, how did you pick up a ticket for York? When I looked on Yorkshire website I couldn't find anything about it.
I phoned Yorkshire ticket office last week. Tickets were available on line, but the site kept throwing me out when I got to payment 🤷♂️
Maybe they've sold out!
He hardly ever keeps wicket any more. Too many finger injuries. Interesting and exciting signing though.

Has anyone managed to get one of the 1,500 tickets for this game?
Yes. Just got back. A group of 5/6 Bears fans made more noise than the other 1,495! I thought we had a chance until D’Oliveira took 2 wickets in one over. Worcester’s same XI seem to play every week and have done for about 3 years. Men against boys tonight.
But Notts haven’t got less to play for. Why would they want to give Durham the chance of a win, when it would count against them in the next stage if Durham qualify?

Seeing Derbyshire collapse against Notts is very frustrating. Notts might get the win there, which would be inconvenient.
However, draw this and the next with a few bonus points, and it would be hard to see how we wouldn’t qualify.
Notts winning is great for Bears. The teams who qualify take half of the points they gained from the other qualifier into the next phase. As we’ve beaten Notts x2 this would be brilliant. At the start of the current match we needed a maximum of 23 points to qualify - this total obviously decreases as other teams fail to take points.

A fantastic result, but to be honest a bit of a let down for the spectators.
Not taking anything away from the team, after a couple of iffy performances it was terrific for the bowlers to rip the Yorkies apart. Also for the openers to see it through very comfortably.
The points and the run rate bonus are very welcome.
A bit of a a let down for spectators.....are you serious? Half empty or what? Believe me, I had a very enjoyable night and I don’t feel let down.
Disappointing. It’ll be interesting to see what Robinson does now. The team seems unbalanced and is making the same predictable mistakes with regularity.
FWIW, my two penneth would be: drop Hose, replace him with Malan; decide who the death bowler is as it’s definitely not Miles; have a long chat with Brathwaite; bring Lintott back in (available again from Monday); and for me the big question is, what do we do with Matt Lamb? Stick or twist?
Correct. Visiting members are allowed in....in normal times. Dress code applies.
I’ve got one. I’ve had one for years. All pass holders from 2019 received an email about the sale of them.
