It appears Dom has moved on loan to Northants prior to a permanent move at the end of the season. He has signed a 3 year deal which is good news for him.
I do think he is only so/so as a bowler, still time to improve though. Our resources are getting a bit thin is my main concern.

Wonder if we are thinking of looking overseas for a seam bowler but hard to find for any length of time. Shame to lose a Middlesbrough connection but we may need to save on wages and he has not made a firm case for staying. If he is as successful as Ben Sanderson there he will do very well. |

I think it makes sense for him. I guess that means that Cliff has got the nod, as number 4 seamer after Coad, Milnes and Edwards(?). Thompson is an all rounder according to the w/site, along with Bess, Hill and Revis.
We are one injury away from having to use Revis and/or Hill as an opening bowler. That cannot be right.

On Leech, I wondered if this might be coming - I was impressed with him when he first came on the scene after Covid, but he has not really pushed on, and it is clear from the livestreams this season that he is no longer the quick bowler that he once was after the injuries, settling in to an aggressive medium pace. It has also been quite clear that Masood does not really fancy him much, same as with big Mickey (I'm not saying Masood is wrong with the latter by the way), so he was not getting used. Good luck to him.
It does leave us thin though as you say. Coad is obviously a class act, but getting 14 first class games a season out of him is optimistic. Milnes is also decent but getting even seven games out of him would be a big surprise. Then we have Thompson, Hill and Revis who have played regular first class cricket; all good enough, but Hill is a batsman who bowls, or should be. And of the younger options, Cliff is the only one who has been anywhere near the first team.
I reckon we need three more as a minimum to be comfortable.

It was a bad injury ( I think in a Roses game) - game subsequently abandonned but had as much to do with preparation for next (International) match as Dom's injury.
For Leech, I liked the guy but if you don't play them they won't improve. Another one of Ottis's 'not like decisions'
Good luck Dom, stay fit and injury free 🏏

Perhaps they have their eye on someone they want to bring in.
Zak Chappell, currently 4 for 9 off 6 overs for Derbyshire might be a decent addition. Glamorgan 32/6 before the rain came.

Does anyone think that Sri Lanka might let us have a Fernando ... or even 2 of them??

Sorry to see Leech go - partly as not sure we have much left for our seam attack next season with Fisher leaving, Edwards surely leaving at end of contract and doubts over Milnes in his final year of his contract after his injury woes. Ok Cliff is coming through but sure anyone after that? Are we going to look at an overseas fast bowler or another counties cast offs like McKerr?
Plus as a former NYSD league player myself, I like to see players from clubs in the NYSD league playing for Yorkshire. Leech was a Normanby Hall player I think, the most memorable player I played against at that club was Geoff Cook's brother, David I think, who was a wicket keeper, bit of a character too.
