Still the dilema whether to book Friday off or not to go to Taunton

Yorkshire know if they make 350 within 110 overs in their first innings and beat Middlesex - it will hand them their third Championship title in a row.

What a strange title and OP.

Typo when merging threads - now corrected 

Can't believe what I'm seeing, in the time it took me to walk from train station to home

Pretty sure Hildy has a broken ankle.  Heroic stuff from him. Great time for the captain to find form as well 

Would he be able to even stand on it if it was broken?

Am sure they would have had a real look at it during the lunch break

Great Ton Bucky !!

Middlesex look like they're already batting for a draw.

Slow over rate

Slow run rate

Keep it up !!

You will be told by die hard arse lickers of Mr Robinson that it wasn't possible to bring in quality because of the short time between the end of the playoffs and the start of the season. I dont actually believe this. There are loads of quality players in the southern hemisphere and Bristol is due to pick up a couple in November - just a couple mind along with the other past sell by date players who were brought in..

The squad is maybe the largest in the division and also the weakest. Therefore whoever is in charge of player recruitment and retention isn't doing a very god job.

Robinson had three seasons to get it right with a relatively massive budget and limped over the line in May. He may get it right this season but I doubt it. SL seemed surprised at only 5000 ST sales but its clear there are lots of fans who are very disappointed at the business done in the summer and are waiting to see what happens over the next couple of months.

Theres a salary cap all clubs must adhere to plus you can sign a "marquee" player that doesn't affect the cap. All loose change to SL

Imagine part of the problem until these other players see that Bristol won't be a one season wonder - why would anyone want to sign?

I was under the impression that it was now TWO marquee signings

What was the reason for the boycott?

Probably because unlike the blue few this wasn't our "cup final" which many are talking like a trip to Brammal Lane is

This time of year on a used pitch that's decent enough. Get hildly some painkillers pronto.

However we can do it I pray we get to 400 in 110.. somebody's chance to be remembered for a lifetime 

99 off of 33

301 to go off of 77 - need to up our current run rate by 0.9 per over from now on

Tres and Abel out - Hildreth struggling with a bad ankle has Abel as his runner

Yorkshire bowling at AN EMPTY Lords.

Good to see their supporters realising the importance of this fixture !

This is it then, #makingtheWESTCOUNTRYproud

I try my hardest not to venture over the road to see what the blue few are writing, but after having a look at their freshers thread, I thought I'd peruse their forum to see what is happening over the darkside, I do SERIOUSLY worry about their mentality . . . .

Can you copy what Weaselbe is saying about his massive club? Would love to read

Just for you @Iron Man

I expect a big WHOOSH for this - but someone please tell me this isn't their ACTUAL stall?

Never seen something look so cheap and tacky

Trego not being subtle about his opinion on team selection either.

No doubt peeved about his team mate not being selected but also one of his biggest enemies in the game being called up.....

For anyone not on twitter anyo

Batty I can accept even if he's a cock. Ansari however is a complete joke and it's Alec Stewart being up the arse of the selectors. He's been injury prone and barely fit for 2 minutes and he's in the squad.

Hope jack takes 10 next week and serves up a big FU to the selectors 

At least we will have Leach available to defend our title next summer
