Whatever the outcome of the T20 blast must win game on Friday the competition gets parked for 6 weeks or so to allow the Hundred to take place.
Putting that aside we have the Metro Bank 50 over one day cup for the the rest of us which starts next week.
I think it's less of a 'development competition' than it was originally, but I hope it continues to leave room for the less familiar names to be given an outing. A couple of teams seem to have brought in an overseas purely for this competition.
Not sure what the situation is with Matthew Fisher, but we do have a decent group of players available.
Batters: Bean, Wharton, Luxton, Masood, Vagadia, Kelly.
All rounders: Revis and Hill.
Keepers: Tattersall and Duke.
Spin bowlers: Bess, Moriarty, Chohan
Quick bowlers: Coad, Fisher!, Leech, Cliff.
Not sure if there will be any other likely candidates lining up for the first game at the Oval next Thursday.

Is Fisher not picked up for the 100? Ah well. In many ways, I have enjoyed the One Day Cup the last few years, even though we seem to start disproportionately hamstrung by the loss of players - its nice to see the next generation of players come to the fore, and we have seen some memorable performances from our young lads over those years proving their mettle.
This year is going to be tough - we seem to have even fewer seamers than usual available - so we will have to rely on what is a very decent crop of spinners to give us a shout. I've had a go at picking an XI for the first game:
Bean Duke Masood Wharton Luxton Hill Revis Bess Chohan Coad Moriarty

I might even add Josh Hen-Boisen in the list of available spin bowlers.

The team picked to play Shropshire today may give a good indication of those who will form the core of the team for the competition this season.
Bean, Luxton, Wharton, Hill, Duke (wk), Tattersall (c), Revis, Bess, Moriarty, Cliff, Leech.

After scoring 382/5 in their 50 overs Yorkshire duly beat Shropshire by a massive 247 runs. 106 not out for Duke and 4 wickets for Dom Bess were the top performers. Some runs and a couple of wickets for Matthew Revis. I hope he can use this competition to get some confidence and show what he's made of.
Most of the first class counties managed to win quite easily, Derbyshire managed to lose to Cheshire and Notts were beaten in a high scoring game by Lincolnshire, which may have given them an excuse for a quiet celebration.

Yes I recall the Shropshire defeat…..and Mushtaq
we also lost to Durham at Harrogate in the early seventies Chris and Alan Old were in opposition
there was also a loss to the Combined Universities at Barnsley
all plunging various depths
on a much happier note I saw the 87 Final win
I did look at Matthew Elliot’s innings in the 2002 final on You Tube the other week

Yorkshire 13 man squad to face Surrey at the Oval tomorrow. Forecast not great but looks to be better than it did yesterday.
Bean, Luxton, Wharton, Masood (c), Tattersall, Hill, Duke (wk), Revis, Bess, Moriarty, Coad, Leech, Cliff.
Leech and Tattersall to miss out for me.
A very depleted 14 man Surrey squad, but not without some batting quality.
Rory Burns (c), Dom Sibley, Ryan Patel, Ben Foakes (wk), Nathan Barnwell, Josh Blake, Cameron Steel, Ollie Sykes, Matt Dunn, Ben Geddes, Yousef Majid, James Taylor, Conor McKerr, Amir Virdi.
In our half of the draw today Leicestershire won at home against Notts while Warwickshire beat Essex at Chelmsford.

Yorkshire have left out Cliff and Tattersall from the 13. Surrey won the toss and have stuck us in, conditions look murky.
Interestingly Ben Foakes is not keeping.

I missed the start as my car was on MOT duty, got home in time to see Luxton play some delicious strokes, and Wharton whack it, before falling to a silly scoop shot which may prove costly in the D/L process, ultimately.
Will people believe me, that Luxton is special? He may even be special like Root, Bairstow and Brook. Bean, Hill, Wharton, Revis, Duke are all fine, fine young batsmen. Luxton is better than that. He should play in every game, all formats.

How long has he been at the club? I think I am getting him mixed up with someone from three or four years ago who I saw a couple of times but didn't rate. Presumably not Luxton. I watched a few minutes this morning and he looked good.

Well you can't blame Surrey for putting us in given the weather forecast. I fear we may get the wrong end of DL in this one. Wharton should keep the scoops for quicker bowlers and his late wicket won't help the calculations.
I should imagine that Luxton will stand in batting at 4 when the Captain is on International duty for the CC games against Sussex and Middlesex, a big couple of weeks for him, such a pleasure to watch.

2:30 planned restart with the game reduced to 37 overs per side, if no more rain of course.

248 required off 33 overs, I wonder if we had got 20 runs less, but not lost Luxton and Hill to slogs, whether the target would have been larger.

The target is based on the last rain interruption rather than the end point. Not being there I don't know when that came, but +8 seems around 25 runs too generous to them.

My reaction to the D/L calculation was that someone had got his sums wrong. Actually only +7. I was expecting 20 or more, and would have moaned at that.
Byased - I think you may be getting Luxton mixed up with Yash Vagadia who, with Noah Kelly, would be the other obvious 'good player' coming through - good batsman, that is. Our lack of representation at England U19 level would suggest the YCCC production line of great batsman might be having a year off, the old 166 bus problem.
In Luxton I see a Harry Brook clone, very similar players in style. I have not seen enough of the other two to make a confident judgment, except they are good players, which includes your Jack Leaning as well as your Joe Root. You would settle for a Leaning, any day! But prefer a Root.
On today's game, so far, we have had Luxton's innings, Coad's fabulous bowling, Hill's all-round talents, Wharton's glorious fielding, Revis's hitting and strong bowling. We're actually looking good, a decent side, and Surrey now need 12 per over, 144 off 12. Even we can't blow this one.
Can we? Why am I not relaxed?
