Yorks win the toss and bowl with Malan, Root and Brook in the side!
A crazy decision

You have to love tiger76’s youthful innocence on cricket threads. Do you reckon 76 is his biggest score?
Re: County Championship - are we ready?
If it is, it would have been against his 5 year old lad in the park in a Fast Show stylee.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Roses game is not alone in terms of a dubious "put them in" call. Will Rhodes of Warwicks won the toss yesterday at Edgbaston and inserted Northants- who are currently 444-4 (off 116 overs); ouch!

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
What are groundsmen doing with the pitches? 4 games in play in Division 1
Lancs 412/3 vs Yorks
Northants 471/4 vs Warwickshire
Surrey 470/6 vs Kent
Somerset 453/5 vs Gloucester
1,800 runs for 18 wickets....... Looks like everybody's remembered how to bat, or the wickets are dull, batter friendly puddings.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Seems to have been some sort of delusion in the air yesterday with toss-winning skippers.
Warwicks put Northants in at Edgbaston - N'hants now 471-4
Glos put Somerset in at Bristol; Somerset now 453-5
Middlesex put Notts in at Lords - Notts AO just before lunch on 415.
Derby also stuck Worcs in and they got to a half-decent 368 AO.

The cockney traffic cone shows that eventually even those who are useless will get a wicket… looks like he’s struck outside the line. Umpire pity call.

Strange tactics here from Lancs. Doesn't seem any urgency to move the game on at all.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
53-2 at stumps, couldn't have gone any better for Lancashire today, huge total on the board, and a couple of useful wickets in the final session.
And that's with Jimmy going wicketless, and Parky not yet having bowled.
Must be a feeling of deja vu for Joe Root trying to hold a batting line-up together, and an awful lot will rest on his shoulders when he eventually comes to bat, get him cheaply, and the rest may fold quickly.

Brook looks a real talent.
Him and Root going around 6 an over since they came together.

Hmm! probably because he's called Joe Root? close call but with no DRS he's always going to be given the benefit of the doubt.dandeclaret wrote: ↑Sat May 14, 2022 12:41 pmAny ideas how Root was not out there? It’s absolutely plum.
It would certainly have gone upstairs in a test match that's for sure.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
6th wicket being stubborn to say the least, Root nearing his 100, and another youngster Harry Duke providing solid support, I'll say one thing for Yorkshire they continue to produce high calibre batsmen who may well be pushing for England selection in the future.
221-5 however still 345 adrift, so a couple of quick wickets would rapidly change the picture again. New ball also due in 7 overs or so, that could prove key for Lancs.

100 for Root, and he's holding this innings together, bit like when he plays for England really, 242-5 6th wicket stand now worth over 100.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Does Harry duke think you get bonus points for number of dot balls in an innings?
The temerity to have a go at the Saffer when you’ve got this lad…. Classic Yorkshire.

Parkinson gets Duke.... who scored 40 from 202 (TWO HUNDRED AND TWO) deliveries..... the spirit of JJ Sayers lives on.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Finally a breakthrough, but that stand has taken 60 overs out of the game, which now might be heading towards a draw unless Lancashire can wrap things up quickly tonight, and I assume enforce the follow on.
Parkinson could yet be the key to pushing for victory tomorrow, as the seamers aren't getting much joy out of this surface.

3 for Bailey, 3 for Parky, just maybe this game isn't dying a death quite yet, Yorkshire still in danger of following on here.

Earlier in the thread.... "Quality opening bat Lyth, proved it over a number of seasons"
10,10,2,,,, averages 37 in first class cricket...... Quality isn't really the word you're looking for Bodge is it?
Unless quality really means, below average.

Batting suddenly looks hard work for the 1st time in the match, now if we could nip Malan and Root out before lunch then it could make for an interesting afternoon.
