Yorkshire v Sussex CC at Scarborough 22-25 August.

Looking at the latest from O.G on the website it seems YJB is a strong possibility, but perhaps only for the Scarborough game, Fisher won't be fit but may feature at Headingley, and they aren't looking to bring in anybody else.

If we see him, it will be a bonus; if we see him regularly from next season, it will be a bigger bonus. Shan Masood, I can watch any time, lovely bat.

In both cases I would rather see Johnny Tat as wicket-keeper, and as captain...though YJB as captain might be the best of both worlds, but I can't see him giving up the IPL, nor his England hopes. As a batsman, he is inferior (bad word) only to Root and Brook.

I think we will lose Matt Revis to The Hundred.

They went with just the one spinner last time out at Scarborough and again in the game at Chesterfield. It has been a bit drier of course so two spinner might be the call.

If not perhaps Ben Cliff comes into the equation to partner Ben Coad with the new ball.

Ollie Robinson might be the most dangerous bowler on show so perhaps a turning wicket if possible.

Thompson and Lyth haven't had much to do for the last month, both having had a poor showing in the hundred and warming the bench much of the time. Hopefully that means they will be keen to get it out of their system by performing in the CC.

We want to win, but we can't afford to lose, so I'd go with the extra batsman.

Lyth, Bean, Wharton, Bairstow, Luxton, Hill, Tattersall, Bess, Thompson, Coad, Cliff.

You mean 150 - 123 does not equal 4 ?

Middlesex are on 127 points, and 127 - 123 does equal 4, but we are playing runaway top-of-table Sussex first, then Middlesex.

In turn, Leicestershire (115) and Glamorgan (108) are breathing down our necks. [Is that a horse-racing term?]

24 hours is the answer, I'm sure I wasn't the only one to point it out but it's correct now. Getting it right first time of course is always something to aspire to.

I have posted before about the appalling state of the YCCC website ... but that was after the Patel shake-up and before the 'new regime', Various Communication manager/Officer posts have been advertised, some and gone(?)

Any of the gentlemen of the Corridor, more or less, (more if someone else, less if me!) could manage this output.
Have we got some red braces wearing nerd in charge of the keyboard? Or is it being done by AI or some sort of chat bot?
Or is a temp from an agency being told to copy and paste guff from elsewhere and 'sort it out to fit the space available'?

Answers on a postcard please.

Now to reality ...
"Yorkshire have five pivotal fixtures as they look to secure a place in Division One in 2025"

That is true.
We would like to see the team win all of them with masses of bowling points and batting points.

Questions:
1 How many matches do you think we will win?
2 How many of our matches will be weather affected?
3 Can we win enough matches/gain enough points to get promoted under our own steam and not rely on other teams.
4 What %win score would you give YCCC for gaining promotion?

My answers:
Q 1 = 2
Q 2 = 2
Q 3 = No
Q 4 = 35%

That said I will be rooting for the team all the way.
