I think even twits like that deserve some privacy. Actually they deserve it from me as I could get quite cross about that subject.

I wouldn't have known him if I'd fallen over him.
Nice day in Leeds, just taken a look at the England W v Pakistan W on Sky. 12,000 tickets sold which is a good effort, doesn't look to be that many in attendance but I hope the club turn a profit from it.

Living in the area, I've seen Mr Sobell many times. Saturday I was on my way for an MRI scan on my head (nothing dramatic just a referral from the eye clinic)- I was focused on that and fortunately didn't challenge him.
I don't think there will be a sell-out for this Wednesday's men's England v Pakistan T20. Weather forecast is for wall-to-wall rain all day/night . I'm a little disappointed but I'll get my money back.
However looking forward to Yorkshire 2nds at Weetwood tomorrow 😎

I thought the men’s T20 international was a sell out. The women’s equivalent was seen by about 10,000 I read.

Sorry hawke, that was my poor attempt at humour. The men's T20 v Pakistan on Wednesday has sold out but it will I think turn into a wash-out due to rain if the forecasts I've seen are accurate.
I'm one of those people who laugh at my own jokes, in fact Mrs karma sometimes looks at me smiling when I'm typing and says, " are you on the forum again?"

I read a full page article on Adil Rashid in the Sunday Times yesterday. All about managing his workload and his ambitions to carry on playing for England for as long as possible. The word "Yorkshire" did not appear once in what was a very wordy article.

Missed that article as by Sunday I'd not finished Saturday's Times. Over the last year there have been a couple of articles in Saturdays's Yorkshire Post, interviews with Rashid in some depth .
One focused on his cricket school (run by his brother) the other in the motoring section! There was one mention only of Yorkshire but it was the County and not Yorkshire Cricket.
I think many decades ago Geoff Boycott, when starting to play for Yorkshire said something like," I've finished with that sort of cricket" , referring to his non-YCCC games.
Adil Rashid doesn't even mention YCCC, as if so doing would cause him to throw up. For some supporters the feeling is mutual particularly after his 'memory' being jogged by Azeem Rafiq his former colleague and chip-shop partner. Maybe he's embarrassed by the car-crash cross-examinationin finding Michael Vaughan not guilty of 'You lot'.
Not me though, I liked him a lot as a a fine Yorkshire player though I've mixed feelings about his Yorkshire registration and white ball contract as a 'flag of convenience'.
I was looking forward to seeing him play at Headingley tomorrow in the England v Pakistan T20 but it seems the rain gods will remove that opportunity and save him the problem of setting his Sat-Nav to find his way to Headingley cricket ground 🏏

Well blow me, at Weetwood for the 2nd v SACA, opening the batting Masood and Malan!
Thought before the start Masood was talking to Adil Rashid!!!
Might be his brother though who runs Adil's cricket school 🏏

Well Luxton needs a knock as he is highly likely to play the next game and I hope Masood is playing partly to find some form of his own but also to look over the seamers who he may need to pick in the coming red and white ball games

Masood isn't a T20 opener ( though I appreciate why he's in the team).Cliff took 3 wickets for 35 runs in his 4 overs in the second game (slowish wicket but then so is Headingley from what I've seen). Malan seems a bit out of sorts just as well he's concentrating on white-ball) and Wharton wasn't in the team at all , possibly giving up his place so that someone else gets experience. Jaffer Chohan played , first time I've seen him this year. (he took 3 for 25 in his 4 overs in the 2nd game, when I first saw him last year in the 2nds he got carted all over the pitch , he's improved an awful lot)

Good about Luxton and Chohan. Fancy Masood and Malan both playing.

I noticed Luxton captained the first game and Duke the second. Malan and Masood of course playing with an eye to the T20 blast coming up soon, Chohan and Duke, possibly Luxton are also likely to be involved with the first team.
Apart from Cliff and Chohan the other bowlers were academy youngsters so I wouldn't hold the losses against them too much.

The T20 side is going to be something of a mix and match given availabilities, fitness, and the problem of your captain taking up an overseas slot.
I think my best guess is something like this 12. Bean or Ferreira can keep wicket, not sure who misses out:
Lyth Malan Wharton Bean Masood Ferreira Thompson Revis Bess Fisher Leech Chohan

This one's for you Dave Morton (and for anyone who went to Cambridge last century). I recall in an earlier post in the last incarnation of the Corridor you referred to your time at Cambridge, earning (I think) 'a ten Bob note' for steering tourists down the Cam on (in?) a punt. I'm not sure how you spent the money apart from a new bat but might be the following . (if I'm overstepping the mark, please excuse me)

Letter from Sandy Pratt in the Times 30th May
"Sir. As a student at Cambridge University in the 1970's with digs in King Street, the challenge was to drink a pint in each of seven (not eight) of the pubs in King Street, returning to the first for the eighth pint. Accuracy is important in this now extinct event." ________________
Letter from Sebastian Faulks in the Times 1st June
" Sir. Sandy Pratt(letter May 30) says there were only seven pubs in King Street Cambridge in the early 1970's and that to complete the famous run you had to do the first one twice. When I completed it in 1973 there were eight pubs eight pints and no going back. The time allowed was 90 minutes. It was an enjoyable start to the evening which continued in the Emmanuel college bar"
