3rd & 7 37yd

Huh, I assumed it'd be a streaky boundary.

by StaggerBreaths 7/3/2017 4:26:33 PM
Yeah but with Lees entering the danger zone of double figures, could be two down early and no Ballance to get a ton

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 4:25:02 PM
oh well seems opening partnerships are out of fashion unless its Essex

Cash is tight at Durham if you haven't heard
@Martycricket @KcarlingK @LydiaJane13 How many wickets must young Matty Potts take before he's eligible for his own @DurhamCricket sweater? pic.twitter.com/wvLzo5qHfs

Also, its important to remember that Glamorgan and Gloucs both, er, aren't known for batting strength

by Matt_MYano 7/3/2017 4:21:14 PM
ECB want to be careful with that given they are forcing 50 over cricket onto outgrounds

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 4:20:39 PM
Open with van der Gugten lads

by Matt_MYano 7/3/2017 4:20:30 PM
One would imagine the ECB will be sending a party to Cheltenham with a view to imposing some kind of draconian punishment given it's not a home county involved

by Joe Williams 7/3/2017 4:19:47 PM
Is the wicket that bad at Cheltenham?

Denly averaging 54 this season, real comeback from the point in his career where he never seemed to score a run

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 4:12:33 PM
Will also be interesting to see how Bailey goes this session. He got to bottom of steps after tea before realising he'd forgotten his bat.

Qadri just wants to get bowling, reckons he can snag another Michelle tonight.

by Matt_MYano 7/3/2017 4:05:04 PM
@SDHoneymonster Bingo, Adams

by GeorgePotter19 7/3/2017 4:04:54 PM
I have player X on 71, Rikki Clarke on 55, then Trego and Tres on 54

by Will 7/3/2017 4:04:15 PM
@GeorgePotter19 Actually no - Andre Adams?

by SDHoneymonster 7/3/2017 4:04:00 PM
@GeorgePotter19 Gotta be Napier surely.

by SDHoneymonster 7/3/2017 4:03:45 PM
@Will I have him third but on 46 sixes. Clearly the two databases have different measurements. Given the number 1's size of lead, I assume we've got the same guy!

by GeorgePotter19 7/3/2017 4:02:48 PM
@KieranLayer I meant me getting Mal and SL confused not you!

by Joe Williams 7/3/2017 4:02:22 PM
Mal Loye used to play the most outrageous slog sweeps. Superb to watch. I think I remember him attempting it against Glenn McGrath and breaking some ribs, though?

by Kieran Layer 7/3/2017 3:56:42 PM
Mal Loye qualified for England at the age of about 36.....i'd have taken him

by Joe Williams 7/3/2017 3:56:28 PM
I have Trego 3rd with 54 (if we're not including 2009 in 'since 2009')

by Will 7/3/2017 3:56:14 PM
#LeesingAgreement How many will Alex Lees have before he is out driving? 14 is my bet, same as his shirt number

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 3:56:08 PM
Will Somerset enforce the follow on? I would with weather dodgy tomorrow. Guess we'll find out in about 2 hours.

by Joe Williams 7/3/2017 3:56:05 PM
Showing my age.. I had to look up Loye.

by Matt Warwick 7/3/2017 3:55:30 PM
Bresnan got tired of Rashid it seems, good score from where they were. Guess we will find out if anyone on the Yorkshire team fancies doing any batting now Capt Ballance isn't there doing it all

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 3:54:55 PM
Also the six hitting question must be Trego surely

by Matt_MYano 7/3/2017 3:54:51 PM
Loye?!?!?

Thank god, the bigger hitter is off strike and Yorkshire can bowl some dots at the tailender...Craig Overton

by nickcricket 7/3/2017 3:43:22 PM
Smithy is only an all-rounder is T20s with his baffingly effective offies

by Matt_MYano 7/3/2017 3:43:06 PM
that's why he's not playing tests
