Quite agree. Lawrence was a big hearted cricketer, who was just starting to understand his own mechanics when he suffered one of the most awful injuries I've ever seen in New Zealand, being carried from the field screaming in pain from a broken knee cap. He was never quite the same bowler after that, though I remember in his brief return him giving Richard Blakey the hurry up at Scarbados when the tide was in.

Nice cool breeze and comfortably warm enough to sit out today.
I think they will need to play McKerr to balance the side, Luxton to miss out possibly.

We're batting, lost another toss. McKerr is in, Moriarty out.

Well that was a very good day. Wondered if Holmes and Sutcliffe’s record was going to be challenged at one stage!! Shame Wharton fell just before the close.
Was it misty early on? Is that why Glos put us in?
I suppose their attack looks very Div2 but we took full full advantage.
Great to see Bean back scoring lots and Lyth adapting back to the CC

I am afraid I put the mockers on things. Put you tube on at 307-0, and within a few minutes both were out. Ground looked in good condition, with good crowd. Hope to be up there in August.
Not convinced by the div 2 argument. players don't seem to move about that much, and counties bounce about regularly between the two divisions. Just a case of who is available from ECB or IPL etc ?

A day to remember and savour I think. I missed the start, I think there was a tinge of green on the pitch and there was some cloud cover early doors so that may account for putting us in to bat. Appearances can be deceptive, and the tide was out.
Glorious day, decent numbers, though I was hoping for a few more, queue at the main bar but it was a very sedate CC crowd.
4th batting point looks nailed on, perhaps worth having a sprint for the 5th. I can't see it being worth batting on much past the 110 overs point, unless the runs are flowing and we are running them ragged of course.
Bad planning, teacher training day at the grandkids school tomorrow and I promised we would go to Leeds to keep an eye on them. Oh well.

Oh dear, poor Will Luxton has just gotten an absolute stinker of a decision, ball heading a way down leg.

Well I’m glad ithe mistake wasn’t from him but v frustrating.
And well the game has moved on. Well done Hill and Thompson.
Shame for the low scores.
3rd Div batting v 2nd Div bowling? Ha!

To be fair, from the live feed this morning I think we are going to be very glad of the first wicket partnership. Aside from Luxton's turkey, Hill was LBW - stone motherless dead - to one that barely left the floor, and Tattersall (who did not look happy at the decision) was caught behind to one from Dale that seemed to get very big on him.

Back from the Northern Tour - cricket-less alas because pitches were too wet and the local side were playing somewhere in deepest darkest Cheviots. Busy day catching up at FoodBank but kept an eye on the scores.
Bowlers take a bow - Thommo and Revis got something out of the pitch and 24 6 48 5 represents a very good return.
If McKerr can continue bowling 16 overs for under 30 then he can be in my team. He and Fernando with excellent Thommo put on 45 in the last 6 overs of the innings too.
Could we, could they be on the verge of bowling a ream out twice??
Working at home tomorrow so on with the Livestream!!

I didn't get to see a lot of the Gloucestershire reply - I was tired after an early stint so slept a good couple of hours - but the last hour was great entertainment. Revis bowled some rank balls but also some crackers, and he is definitely a yard quicker than Thompson, Coad, Hill and Edwards, somewhere around the pace that Fisher tends to get injured at.

I seem to have missed an interesting day, flabbergasted when I saw we didn't manage at least a 4th batting point. Seems to have been a bowlers day all round with Gloucestershire making painful progress in the last two sessions, those late wickets look to have sunk them below the waterline.
Nervous territory for us nonetheless, we've been here before too often recently. Dare we risk batting again, taking up a couple of sessions building a total we feel is enough and then finding that 4 sessions isn't enough for our bowlers.
Enforcing the follow-on can go horribly wrong and give our bowlers a lot of work, but if we have a lead of 250 or thereabouts, I think it's the better option.

Seems like we stuck to the task and earned reward. Well done Revis. The attack appears fairly well balanced.

Another draining day , first in the sunshine and later high humidity, I had to resort to a pint of lager shandy 🍺 Must have been a draining day for the players but to Yorkshire's credit, they stuck too it . I thought on the first day the game had draw written all over it but Yorkshire's play has altered that 🏏
Impressive
