I think Durham might have lost a few off the gate for the next home game after a poor chase that saw them fail miserably to chase down 140 to beat Leicestershire.
Hull again impressive for Leicestershire who I think owed a lot to Handscomb for his steady captaincy.
Not a straightforward pitch but they should have got there.

14 man squad for Birmingham:
Lyth, Malan, Root, Masood(c), Ferreira(wk), Wharton, Luxton, Revis, Thompson, McKerr, Cliff, Moriarty, Bess, Chohan.
Just Ferreira in for Duke in the squad, still no sign of a return from Fisher.
Birmingham bears 14 man squad:
Alex Davies (C & WK), Hassan Ali, Ed Barnard, Chris Benjamin, Jacob Bethell, Danny Briggs, George Garton, Richard Gleeson, Sam Hain
Jake Lintott, Craig Miles, Dan Mousley, Chris Woakes, Rob Yates.
A return to action for Chris Woakes who hasn't played for quite a while. They look stronger in the bowling department than the batting.

It looks like a nice evening at New Road which isn't that far away from Edgbaston so we may be ok this evening. The game has been pushed back to 19:05 because of Sky.

Yorkshire have been asked to bat. Mckerr comes in for Cliff, and they have gone for the extra spinner with Chohan in for Wharton.
Birmingham have gone in with 3 spinners too.

Perhaps today was the day when we needed the extra batter, it was all going so well and then suddenly it wasn't and the middle and late order had no answers.
The rain kept away when we probably could have done with it when we were ahead on DLS at the 5 over mark.
Hope we don't fall short at home on Sunday.

Only 4 Yorkshiremen! We might as well be a franchise. What's the point?

Glad I decided not to go. After a good start, the batting just seemed a bit brainless. So many easy catches in the outfield.

It does not make me feel akin to that side. The recurring injury situation re Fisher is a factor in that. Surely otherwise he would be in. As is the release of Waite and the departure of Kohler-Cadmore. But we are not producing our own spinners. |

Yes a batter short and so many bowling options, 5 spin and 3 seam. But as you said Newby, Wharton and Luxton have not had time in the middle in this comp so far. |

We do often seem to struggle when Adam Lyth goes early and so it was again. I think the pitch was very abrasive and after 10 overs the ball was difficult to get away. Perhaps we were guilty of trying for 200 when 170 would have been enough.
I'm not so insular as to think we should go back to a full team of Yorkshiremen, and consider that Bess and Malan have been with us long enough to be a core part of the Yorkshire team.
We will never know how it would have turned out but the two changes, bringing in McKerr and Chohan for Wharton and Cliff seemed like change for changes sake and neither player impressed, nor seemed to have the confidence of their captain.
Move on, I don't mind losing away and hope we can put on a show at Headingley on Sunday and for the upcoming Roses game too.

Our 'spinners' took 2 for 100 plus off around 13 overs... basically 2 early wickets .... hmm. Is the Saffer quick really any good? Whiteball specialist?? Check his stats. Not t all pleasing.

Game on today in our group at Notts, I say game on but it's delayed and if the weather is anything like here then it will be abandoned.
After a couple of hours putting all my different size nails and screws into a super dooper new container I was ready for a bit of cricket. It will have to be RL instead as Hull FC play the Rhino's, about now.

Partially, I suspect, because Warwickshire read the pitch better than we did and didn't try to push on from 7 an over to 12. If you looked at our dismissals, Root, Masood, Ferreira, Malan and Thompson, in that order, got out trying to play extravagant strokes or smash the ball into the Bull Ring. Root, maybe Masood have some excuse but the others should have stopped and thought about what was happening. That was an innings to take deep, maybe 140 with three overs left and wickets in hand... |

Was the Birmingham match televised? I searched in vain for it on Sky and YouTube.
