chipdawg Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 That's good to know - we need a few like that for Aus / SA away Be nice to see a couple of young uns come through who can just bowl flat out fast I say that, but obviously as soon as he gets into the England set up they'll 'remodel' his action and helm spend the next 3 years chucking down 80mph pies.... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, that screwed Finn over with that, hopefully we'll get to see the rewards from here on in though.

Super Posted August 12, 2015 Report Share Posted August 12, 2015 Wow what an innings by David Willey tonight a ton off 40 balls! Took Yardy for 34 off one over! Some talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chipdawg Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Yorkshire just confirmed the signing of David Willey from Northants....the best just got a whole lot better Such a great signing, especially for the shorter forms of the game where we've been lacking. The only problem will be that he's already on the fringes of the England team, we'll probably have to do without him for most of the season if he improves further!

Don't see Willey as a test match player, but if he's not in ODI and T20 then I'd despair. Great signing http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-33970941 Read that last night Phants, seems like a lucky boy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great signing I think he could be in the future- he's a naturally explosive batsmen and Gillespie has worked wonders with the bowlers at Headingley if you thin how Brooks has come on in the last couple of years and how much more focus Plunkett seems to have gained. As things stand though, I agree he's purely a 50 or 20 over player in terms of England consideration Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PHILINFRANCE Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 m Ridiculously good signing but very much a good club to go - look how well Jack Brooks has improved since going to the yorkies. Weren't Somerset supposed to have been considering him last season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ralphindevon Posted August 19, 2015 Report Share Posted August 19, 2015 Weren't Somerset supposed to have been considering him last season? It was rumoured and they should have thrown everything at getting him, even if it meant no Gayle or Rehman. He may have been sympathetic to our approach after having a hand in ending Keiswetters career. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aizoon Posted August 26, 2015 Report Share Posted August 26, 2015 Mind you, I nearly got knocked out from behind when.Klinger hit a big six over long-on, which I watched all the way. Good thing I did, because it came back off the terracing and I just got my head out of the way in time.

BCFC_Dan Posted August 27, 2015 Report Share Posted August 27, 2015 C'mon the Shire! It'll be annoying for me if we get Yorkshire at Headingley because I'll be away when it's played. On the plus side it's a chance to get some bragging rights over the gf's parents who aren't keen on accepting that we were on track to beat them at Scarborough last month (no doubt they'll win this time though and I'll have to put up with at least a year of ribbing).

Pretty poor show if Yes to both questions. Honestly mate yes the first was a 110% boundary, the bloke had his hands over the boundary scooping it back from the floor, the second a closer call. I have never been to such a hostile cricket game by the way. 2/3 fights nearly broke out between a few Hampshire and Glos fans, was a heated affair off of the pitch. Odd really.

I have never been to such a hostile cricket game by the way. 2/3 fights nearly broke out between a few Hampshire and Glos fans, was a heated affair off of the pitch. Odd really. I have witnessed similar at Taunton, a one-day game against Warwickshire comes to mind - usual story; football fans becoming aggressive in the late afternoon/early evening after too many beers. I also recall a Somerset/Glos game several years ago at Bath that was particularly rowdy, with the Police having to break up fights between City and Rovers fans and ejecting several. These were all alcohol related, however, and I think Tomarse referred recently to a T20 Glamorgan game at Taunton when the Glamorgan fans were 'allegedly' fuelled by coke - a disappointing descent. I have just seen Phantom's post, so it may have been him rather than Tomarse who mentioned the Glamorgan game.
