Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Well we're 220 odd ahead with 7 wickets down..if we get up to 250 plus that could be a good target to set although can also depend on overhead conditions a bit. Headingley like Trent Bridge and st times Lord's can be somewhat dependent on overhead conditions for how a game can play out...certainly been the case in the past. Talking of Trent Bridge, Notts are surely going back up. 4 batting points, 1 bowling point to dare. Needed iirc 7 points absolute max...well they're 576 ahead and Durham have 4 wickets down in 1st Innings, won't lose that one! Surrey have won the title and clearly aren't going for it, well Lancashire are weather permitting in a strong position there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 (edited) Bowled out. Chase of 241 for Yorkshire, it's a reasonable target to set but feels a bit low- although they are now 9/1.

ralphindevon Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Andrew Umeed was one of those Somerset signings where your immediate thoughts are- what is the point in that? You always hope you’ll be proved wrong but……what was the point? Just as well have given Tom Banton some cricket instead of him sat doing nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Yorkshire 98/4. Still think we could have done with a lead of 250+ but we're well in this- shame we couldn't have shown this level of fight and competitiveness yes I know last few games were v lower to middling sides, but fight and competitiveness through the season.

We could do with a good overseas to add to it. It sounds like Siddle is definitely coming back, maybe with coaching duties. Strange season in strange cricketing times. A very enjoyable T20 campaign and great to maintain our unmatched run in the top flight. Now time to concentrate on City, starting with a the very busy month of October Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 Alternatively, Warwickshire might go hell for leather, lose a few wickets tonight on a late Day 3 pitch, a few more on Day 4, collapse in a heap and Hampshire charge or even stroll to what is admittedly a dead rubber win. Could set up an interesting last day in any case! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 28, 2022 Report Share Posted September 28, 2022 2 wins to end the season, nice! Some of our 2019 Division Two form came to the fore, too late but maybe if we keep as much of the squad together as possible we can have a go next year. I was looking back at games, there were two fairly close ones v Northants that we could have won at least one of, fine margins eh... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, if they’d had the same attitude for the whole season that they have had in September. As others have said, maybe the attitude changed and nerves went once it was too late. Having said that, 25 points from safety despite consecutive victories, is falling quite a bit short. Hopefully they’ll hit the ground running next season.

Hopefully they’ll hit the ground running next season. The bottom line is we snatched defeats from the jaws of draws. At Lancs and Hampshire, we were a handful of overs away from securing draws. We should’ve beaten Northants at home and at Somerset. We’ve been soundly outplayed four times (at Kent and Essex, and at home to Somerset, and Hampshire). If we keep Zafar for next year, we should be there or thereabouts at the top. Who knows what division we could end up in after the Strauss Review, though. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
