Last week was my first week with Ben Coad in the side, was still only costs 50g which has been a steal but of course he is now injured. Might play against Surrey in the RLODC, I doubt the ECB will let Yorkshire have Willey or Bairstow back for the match so its pretty much the team playing Somerset plus Coad and Bresnan...bady dependent

Yeah I'm totally with you, it's stupid! He's been doing rather a lot of fielding though... worst of both worlds

Looking forward to seeing Rafiq and Carver bowl in tandem sometime tomorrow!

by Lawrence Payne 6/9/2017 1:34:38 PM
Angus Mitchell - He going to go into that first test with one match against a red ball in which he didn't score any runs and presumably the ECB will allow him to play the pink ball match unless there is vital drinks carrying to do Vs SA in a T20

by nickcricket 6/9/2017 1:33:50 PM
Oh I'm not saying he's playing loads of cricket at the moment, cause he really should be, I'm just saying he barely plays for Yorkshire. It's ridiculous how one of the best batsmen in the world rarely even plays First Class cricket at the moment!

by Angus Mitchell 6/9/2017 1:30:41 PM
Until then he is just a full time drinks waiter without half a full contract, the lad was so bored he had to fly to the US to watch Golf
