The filter doesn't even consider that possible. We're cricket fans. Effete sorts

what would the filter do if I played in the Lincolnshire league for Scunthorpe Town CC?

by Will Colwell 9/27/2017 2:49:58 PM
@Joe It's not natural progression when the guy has never coached really.

by Dave Knibb 9/27/2017 2:49:51 PM
And Cox!

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 2:49:47 PM
We'll throw in Tongue and Barnard for free! How's about that!

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 2:49:31 PM
@JoeWilliams I just assume that Worcestershire can't have nice things any more. How Mitchell slipped the net I don't know. We had to give him the captaincy for ages I guess

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 2:48:55 PM
Evin Lewis could learn a thing or 2 from Nat Sciver...

@DuluthK.Archaeopteryx Is Clarke likely to come to Yorks?

by Joe Williams 9/27/2017 2:46:40 PM
@DaveKnibb I don't think it was smug, think it was a case of natural progression, and i'm not sure that anyone involved in Yorks expected domination this year, certainly not given how obvious the deficiencies were last year, tho not sure it was expected that we would be quite as shit as this.

by Joe Williams 9/27/2017 2:46:14 PM
To be clear, if Clarke goes to Yorkshire it will be a complete embarrassment for Yorkshire and county cricket as a whole.

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 2:46:00 PM
@DuluthK.Archaeopteryx I am sure bringing players in will be looked at, Clarke wants to keep which would suit Yorkshire but by next summer I suspect England will be looking for younger players and the last thing Yorkshire need is another part time player

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 2:44:34 PM
Ah, scratch that. I'd forgotten Gayle had already passed it.

by MisanthropeGirl 9/27/2017 2:44:18 PM
Viv's record looks like it is about to fall

by MisanthropeGirl 9/27/2017 2:43:34 PM
Will be nowhere for Buttler to hide today

by dez dezzy 9/27/2017 2:40:45 PM
@DaveKnibb Yeah it was a bit England 2011, we going to be the next dominate team and with 12 months it was all gone

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 2:40:24 PM
Wouldn't be surprised if West Indies got 400 at the rate they're going

by Joe Tompkins 9/27/2017 2:39:08 PM
I thought Yorks were being a bit smug when they appointed Gale as coach, as if they had a dynasty set up for the future.

by Dave Knibb 9/27/2017 2:39:03 PM
Ball instead of T Curran on his home ground is ridiculous

by dez dezzy 9/27/2017 2:36:35 PM
You could always poach Clarke to add to TK-C

by Duluth K. Archaeopteryx 9/27/2017 2:36:28 PM
With Worcs and Notts (likely) coming up I suspect we will go down next year, can't see anyone being as awful as Warks to prop everyone up, it'll take miracles to sort this batting line up out and the already old looking bowling attack will be another year older

by Joe Williams 9/27/2017 2:35:17 PM
by David Hopps 9/27/2017 2:33:58 PM
@courtneynangle Be a long answer, with a lot don't knows in it. Quite a few are simply not playing to their talent and may just be having a bad season Lyth, Bresnan for example. Others have been talented young players but have stagnated Lees/Leaning. The bowling attack is another year older and its good that someone like Brooks has got a some wickets recently because he won't be cheap and only plays CC Cricket. Is the coach the right man to build a young team? It was a tough ask for captain to become coach without any gap when it was just motivating an experienced team but now. Very different job

by nickcricket 9/27/2017 2:33:57 PM
Terrible captaincy from Morgan here you have to say

The final league table will flatter Yorkshire. They could be down already had two close results not gone their way.

by ESPNcricinfo Live 9/27/2017 2:30:13 PM
@courtneynangle to be honest, relegation, clear out, start again would maybe have been the best result

by Joe Williams 9/27/2017 2:29:53 PM
How do you solve a problem like Yorkshire?

by courtneynangle 9/27/2017 2:29:13 PM
#DaVincyCode nicked to keeper

by Joe Williams 9/27/2017 2:29:03 PM
