my apologies but as a good lancastrian I felt I had to do all I could to get rid of him - it took all day!Damn, you jinxed him before he got his ton
He's captain in my fantasy team too, I need the points with Murray Goodwin in there too
I wonder how many chances he gave ............................

Draws left right and centre, as you'd expect. The 'forfeited innings/declaration bowling' tactic seems to be a thing of the past now - most teams seem content to play for bonus points.
Obviously you did use to get an hour or two of pretty dire cricket - not to mention some discredited 'fast hundreds' - but it did often lead to a gripping last day.

It's pretty early in the season to be fair, I'm sure if this was in August/September we'd see more aggressive approaches/funny declarations

Some good performances by a couple of youngsters, Finn managing to get in a decent performance. Also a good debut from Azeem Rafiq taking advantage of Adil Rashid being in Twenty/20 action.
Was he the young man whose inclusion led to Yorkshire going out of the Friends Provident last year? I hope it didn't affect him too much, seems to me he was pretty much blameless in the affair.

Flintoff is apparently close to a return, has traveled with the squad to Durham but not included in the official squad because the ECB haven't given him clearance to play as of yet.

... and takes a wicket with his second ball. Notice Smith has been dropped as well, any news on who will open?

Loye or Sutton to open imo.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see Loye. Shame we invested in Shankar and found out he can't even buy a run in club cricket.

Jonathan Bairstow comes in for his FC debut for Yorkshire (see discussion in the young talent to watch thread). Rafiq left out for some reason though.

Oh and Sussex have signed Piyush Chawla, he's playing today. Interesting.
