Just got back for the back end. 176 in 19 overs at least it looks competitive.
Laurie Evans looks like the danger man.

No luck at all for Surrey.

I realise it's probably my imagination but I have the distinct impression, in the final, that the commentators want Somerset to win. Subtle nuances.

The commentary may well have been laid on by Somerset's team to be fair.
Such a lovely evening I had to go for a walk up along some of the Cleveland way so missed most of the final. I was going to watch it later but perhaps I won't bother now.
Quick bowler Ned Leonard seems to have done the damage. I remember he was promising a couple of season ago but suffered a back injury, surprise, surprise, which has held him back.
Like the England football team, 'Finalists' will have to do for this year.

Well 2nd out of 18 is very pleasing. Luxton and Vagadia made some runs and this slow left armer from Wakefield, Hen-Boisen, took wickets in the semi. Cliff also had decent figures in the final and Hill took wickets in both. Duke was the most successful keeper I read re catches/stumpings.

Pleased they at least beat Surrey, Somerset look pretty strong in terms of young players coming through.
The 2nd's turn their attention to 50 overs cricket with a friendly at Chester-Le-Street tomorrow against Durham.
The 2nd teams are not short of competitive cricket these days, as it should be of course.

If you can't be good be lucky, of course being good and lucky would be best of all.
In the 2nd's T20 game against Surrey, the first Surrey wicket was a run out. Ben Cliff ran down the pitch while bowling and with 1 stump to aim for kicked the ball from about 3 yards at 90 degrees to the wicket and hit dead on. The non-striker was given run-out, though he was well in according to the replay. I think the umpire gave the wicket for the footballing skills.
In the final against Somerset, Ben Cliff took the worlds simplest caught and bowled. Ned Leonard was batting and hit a ball straight at his partner at the non-strikers end. It hit his back or elbow and bounced straight into Cliff's hands.
I think Cliff is showing signs of becoming decent, at least in white ball cricket, and I hope his luck continues, perhaps on Friday night in the blast.

Academy rather than the 2nds's but a couple of performances of note in a 3 day game at Weetwood which ended in a draw yesterday due to the weather.
Big runs from Tom Fraine (233) and Will Bennison (124) out of a score of 545 for 8 dec in 112 overs.
Derbyshire academy skittled for 67 all out first time around, 5/31 for B Sylvester, not an Academy or EPP player as far as I can see.
Derbyshire reached 312/5 second time around.
High hopes for York's Tom Fraine.

Tom Fraine may well be the younger brother of Will. Googling shows he is at Sedbergh School. Bennison is down as a player at Sheriff Hutton Bridge in the Yorkshire Premier League North. The bowler Bradley Sylvester was with Slaithwaite in the Hudd League but is now with Cleckheaton in the Bradford League, skippered by Richard Pyrah.

I'm almost certain Tom is the younger brother of Will, they both play for York CC of course. Thanks for the info on Bradley Sylvester. First time I've noticed his name and of course many players can have a good game and exceptional figures now and again which they can't maintain.
I was disappointed that Will Fraine didn't quite make it with Yorkshire after his move from Notts and I hope Tom has a better 'professional career', hopefully with the White Rose.

I think Will Fraine as well as playing for York, has turned out for Cumbria a couple of times, scoring 83 in one innings at Kendal ( v Minor Counties).
I was told this by a fellow Yorkshire member who lives and umpires 'over there', though as is usually the case I'm a poor listener and even worse with facts. Apologies if this 'news' is already known.

Apologies if this 'news' is already known. Yes CricketArchive confirms Fraine the elder Will has played this season for Cumbria. Fraine the younger , at Sedbergh, began playing for Yorkshire age group sides with the Under 14s.

U18's again, a bit of old fashioned playing for a result at Southport after the 2nd day of 3 was washed out yesterday.
Lancashire u18's made 466/7 dec and had Yorkshire u18's at 38/1 on the first day. Yorkshire have declared and Lancashire have forfeited their 2nd innings leaving Yorkshire needing quite a lot to win.
Currently 5/1, unfortunately no heroics from Tom Fraine today.
