ralphindevon Posted July 25, 2023 Report Share Posted July 25, 2023 I’m getting a little concerned about Tom Abell’s batting, one very nice hundred this season but in his other 15 innings in the championship just two fifties and a string of very low scores. In this season’s successful T20 Blast, 16 innings and no half centuries. I’m a massive fan and have enjoyed watching him hit beautiful centuries in both formats but there’s got to be something amiss with his technique for such a talent to be returning such disappointing figures in what should be his prime. Hope he can sort it out soon as he’s a treat to watch when on form, I’m sure he will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pray we can somehow rescue a draw against a Surrey side which is head and shoulders above any other side in the County Championship this season.

It’s such a shame we’ll never get to see that record breaking T20 team play 50 over cricket. The form of cricket we’re world champions in. Never mind, all the youngsters can spend their summer holidays watching the second eleven. A million miles from what I watched in my summer holidays, the times that got me into cricket forever. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes manage to convince myself that watching the young lads will be fun and some stress free cricket to watch and just enjoy the day, but that’s just nonsense isn’t it. It was genuinely quite sad watching the game against Sussex last season, a team containing numerous teenagers, two non contract players and a loanee from Gloucestershire, signed purely to make up the numbers, getting absolutely hammered in front of a really decent Friday night crowd. How on earth can a professional sports club be put in this position by the national governing body of the sport. It’s an absolute disgrace. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After this match v Surrey we’ve got 4 (FOUR) days cricket, in which we’ll be minus 11 first team players, in the next 7.5 summer holiday weeks. How the hell is that getting youngsters interested in cricket??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted July 27, 2023 Report Share Posted July 27, 2023 No getting away from it, totally mullered by Surrey. 3 second innings scores in double figures was never going to cut it. After Overton, Rew and Abell next best was Extras. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midred Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 I see that Yorkshire have been deducted points as part of the racism scandal which dumps them at the bottom of division two. This would have had some meaning if they were to be relegated from division one but otherwise nothing else will happen. They're not going to be replaced by a minor counties side and I'm fairly certain that Headingley will still be acceptable as an international ground!

bearded_red Posted July 28, 2023 Report Share Posted July 28, 2023 Not as pointless as their four point dedication to this year’s Blast that has already finished.

They'll probably have made more profit from the Headingly test match than the fine they received, they're no worse off. A ban on Headingly as an international venue for x years would have been more appropriate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
