Lots of games tonight in the North group. Notts 102 all out went down again this time at Derby where the home team made 198/6.
Durham 178/3 beat Leicestershire 176/7 in the final over at Leicester, 71 from Alex Lees saw them home.
Lancashire's 176/8 at Old Trafford was just too much for the Birmingham bears 168/6.
Northants 169/4 just managed to defend 11 off the last over to beat Worcestershire 163/9.
It's still a bit chilly in the evenings and sampling the live streams there didn't seem to be too many in any of the grounds which is a bit of a worry.
The forecast looks none too good for Sunday in Leeds either.

I am planning to go on Sunday but the weather forecast is making me think again. There is a report we are announcing the loan of a seam bowler today.

So it’s the much travelled Conor McKerr. a South African who was lured over for the bright lights of Surrey and has loan spells at Derbys, Notts and Kent.

Well I for one am going on Sunday for the double-header. I know many cricket lovers are not fans of T20. I know Ladies playing cricket isn't for everyone either, but I've enjoyed their games over the years. I think the morning should be fine weather for the Diamond's game but there might be rain for the Blast, just about the time it's supposed to start but if my forecast is correct not for too long.
We've lost two many games to the team that has Derbyshire in it's title but usually little of Derbyshire in it's squad. I don't want to see a 5 overs-a-side thrash (with the visitors having the toss) but I do want a win and think we have the players to do it , just need them to be well directed by OG and HM.
Stay in and watch TV, not for me. I'm going to every game I can
Be there or be square

I may go to Edgbaston on Friday, followed by a pint or two in Birmingham.

Weather looks similar to yesterday in Leeds with the chance of a heavy shower at just about anytime but hopefully they can get a full game in.
I ended up watching cricket yesterday at slightly lower standard, Div 6 Airedale Wharfedale league as Colton Institute 2nds beat Leeds Modernians 2nds. A bit breezy in Cookridge, and a short rain shower, but really rather pleasant to sit out.
Alas today it will be the radio/live stream for me.
Having forked out for Conor McKerr I presume he will play, Adam Lyth is reportedly fit and is just 11 runs short of 4000 runs in T20's for Yorkshire.
Possible XI. Lyth, Malan, Root, Masood, Ferreira, Revis, Thompson, Bess, Fisher, McKerr, Chohan.
I've put Fisher in but they may hold him back, we will see.
While in Leeds we went to Headingley to visit the John Holmes statue, site of a remarkable and inspiring show of love and affection for the late Rob Burrow. Still a steady flow of visitors arriving with floral tributes to add to the already impressive field of flowers and other tributes.

We have a dearth of Yorkshire produced spinners at present. The last effective home grown pair were Rashid and Rafeeq……..
The Yorks team which beat Northants had 6 non Yorkshire produced players I think.. hope that is the maximum we reach.
Indeed a Derbyshireman in a Derbyshire team is a rarity.

Durham 194/9 got their second win yesterday at Edgbaston where the Birmingham bears could only manage 168 all out.
For the sake of the table we could do with 3 home wins in our group today. Notts(9) entertain Lancashire(1) and Leicestershire(8) play Worcestershire(6) at Leicester. Notts can't lost a fifth on the bounce surely!

Some rain has delayed the start now due to be at 15:15. Yorkshire won the toss and will bowl.
Didn't get the full team but Harry Duke is keeping wicket, the overseas seems to have gone home for a short while back next game I think.
No Conor McKerr either and Ben Cliff replaces Dom Leech, extra batsman James Wharton comes in and replaces Chohan.

So we need to win, w eare without our left arm overseas(?), we loan a gunslinger pace bowler - big news - who isn't playing, Tatts gets the chop (OK play Duke but we are putting 3 spinners out again, Thompson at 6, Revus 7.
I hope the first 4 get some runs (Lyth, Malan, Root, Masood) because I am not sure about the rest. I hope Bess and Moriarty get some wickets ......
The 'Derbyshire' squad includes 2 from Glamorgan; 2 Saffers; 1 Kiwi; 1 ex Notts; 1 escaped Yorkie; 1 Lanky by way of Aus; 1 from Staff via Worcks via Leics; 1 from Leics via Notts; 1 from Cambridgeshire via Worcs
The 'International/Inter-counties 12' - I might go for a walk!!
Oh and it is raining at Headingley .... just another summer Sunday!

A hint subdued here as the Welshmen hammer it around. A master class from Donald I would say

Yorkshire have pulled things back nicely on what looks a very good pitch. It looks a little bit fresh but there's a decent crowd in.
Yorkshire need to get a good start but I had vision of them having to chase well in excess of 200.
Think Derbyshire will fall a little bit short of that now.
A lot will depend on our first 4 batters.

Indeed a bit perkier here after that second 10 overs. 114-0 in the first ten, 65 for 6 in the second. Did Donald get off strike for a lot of that? Catches held and in more propitious times you will have seen that Tommo and Joe R bowled well. Always worry about our young seamers. Still a big ask. 4-5,000 here now in sunshine. Appropriate minute’s silence for Rob Burrow before the start

I should have a chunter about the team more often.
Donald was excellent but so were Malan and Lyth and Root.
Tommo and Joe lad 7 overs 3 for 47 - just over a run a ball.
Why do we bowl half pitchers or well back of a length to right handers with short leg side boundaries? Both of their openers smacked a lot of that sort of stuff over there - especially in the power play.
Second to the Lankies now, played one less and only lost 1. Good run rate too.
