They look to be going through their options in the 2nd game, giving Fisher, Cliff and even Fernando a run out with the ball, while having a look at Hill, Duke, Bean and Luxton too.
You can only play XI of course in the T20 blast but a few extra bowling and middle over batting options are well worth exploring

Sorry donnylad.
Mrs. karma and I have our six-monthly dental appointments at the end of next month actually at 9:50 not halfpast two. I also need some treatment though I won't go into that
My dentist, Phil, is Scottish, that's Phil Macavity. Ouch.

The Chinese Dentist remark would get you instantly sacked from any job in government or education nowadays...except it actually wouldn't be understood, probably, so you'd get away with it.
Listening to the Pakistan national anthem before the match the other day, I was reminded of the Goon Show's 'Ying Tong' song.
Ying tong iddle eye po, iddle eye po.
At least their country isn't Gert by sea. Whatever happened to Matilda?

I have a good memory for some things. Unfortunately though I cannot remember which comedian, said," I'm not a racist" adding, "I hate everybody" 😃

I thought Chinese dentist was a predicted text mistake. Still no idea....

I may well be misremembering but I seem to think it was Tommy Cooper who used to do the quick fire childish jokes, that you knew were beneath you, but still made you smile.
The dentist jokes, tooth hurty (2.30) and Phil Macavity may well have been two of his. It wasn't so much the jokes, which may well have gone over your head, as 'the way he told em'.

Yes, it was a concept that the Chinese put ee at the end of every word. Whether they did, or not, no one in England knew, in the days before the late-night opening fast-food 'Chinky'. It turned out they didn't, or at least my local Henry Yu didn't.
"Usual, Dave?" Curry chicken, half-and-half rice and chips, 3s/6d, just the thing after six pints of Joseph Holt's every night. Yummee.
I loved the way the Chinese immigrants gave their kids English names. I had a hooker on my rugby team called Harry Ho.
I think the 'tooth hurtee' pre-dates the excellent Mr Cooper. Lovely man. "Mirth that hath no bitter springs," as Mr Kipling said.

2nd XI in T20 action tomorrow (Thursday) at 13:00 with a foray into South Yorkshire to play Leicestershire 2nds at the Sheffield Collegiate ground. Hope they have more joy with the weather than they did on Monday.

Easy win for the 2nds today, Joe Root played, at his old ground of course, which I thought was a nice touch.
Leicestershire 2nds were all out for 95, 5 wickets for George Hill and 4 wickets for Yash Vagadia, I didn't even know he bowled.
Yorkshire knocked them off in 8.5 overs, 49 not out for George Hill, 23 for Finlay Bean.
Harry Duke kept wicket, Tatts played as a batter, Will Luxton led the team and Vishwa Fernando also took part.

To be fair we (I) were (was) moaning because Derbyshire brought in Leus du Ploy and several other first team players just for finals day, they having played no part in the competition until then.
I think it's quite legitimate to use the group stages to play anyone you like to ease them back from injury, find some form or show some appreciation for the good people of Sheffield or wherever.

There is a saying:
" Never trust a team from Derbyshire "
I've just made it up .
I also recall Glamorgan's first team playing against Yorkshire 2nds (boys) in the One-Day Cup.
" Never trust a team from Glamorgan "
