T20 Blast 2024 (Started on 30th May)

[Yeoman]

I have watched more of the blast on the streams this year than hitherto (previously listened to the radio more). General observations:
1. Crowds seem down on past years - lots of empty seats at most grounds
2. Lots of counties have pulled the rope well in from the fences, and not just when the wicket is off centre.

High priced tickets, not in school holidays, poor weather.

All while the Hundred gets subsidised tickets in prime holiday time and the weather is improving right in time for it.

Saw last night it's £15 for a double header for the Leeds based tean .

It's £25 a ticket for Marcus North's main job, that he sacks off of for a month to run the Leeds based team.

Just had a look. Leicester look beat and Yorkshire need over 100. Hopefully we can see this game home , then we will be 4th

yorks need 105 off 50 , five down. Leicester need 109 off 56 and are 7 down

this is reminding me of the night we sneaked through then made finals day and lost the final

Our reward if we sneak through is Surrey away in September

Only ourselves to blame that we're in this position having to sneak into 4th as a best case scenario.

Id take it You are right though, we’ve thrown at least two wins away

 

[CartyDurham]

Leicester 97 for 8. So that’s looking good for Durham. Leicester need 97 off 42

yorkies need 92 off 38 with five wickets left

 

[CartyDurham]

Haway Durham 26 off 25 needed, 8 wickets in hand

christ we’ve lost some games but this would top the lot if we blew that position

 

[CartyDurham]

Leicester 101 for 9. Car has started for the bears here

We've paced our innings well for once.

Too much this season we've kept trying to go hard after losing early wickets. Albeit we were batting first in them games.

I didn't see the low scoring Leics game we conspired to lose. But imagine those that did would be saying why didn't we bat this way then.

We've got this in the bag. Bring on the Surrey superstars or rather heaven help us.

I'm hoping it will be a day im down London for work so I can go.

Yorkshire 81 off 30 needed , five wickets in hand

Notts scored 209 tonight which must be one of their better batting performances this season
