Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Boom. Patto strikes.

Did not see that coming earlier in the day.

Good win.

Runs for Ballance and Malan and wickets for Willey and Bess.

Lordy! Last time I checked , it was about 170-4 and petering out into a draw. Excellent work by Little Willey and Patto to polish off the tail.

Good work by Bess too - doing the job he's supposed to do.

Exciting end for this section of the county championship season - with games v Northants and Lancs to play, the top two places are up for grabs.

Shame we have to wait a month because of silly hit and giggle cricket.

The new format has worked surprisingly well- and Yorkshire's doing well from the traditional 'have very good players but not quite good enough for England' approach...

I know that's usually the Surrey approach.

Still think the batting line up is lightweight if at least two of malan/Ballance/bairstow/root isn't in it.

Hence why Bess has been batting at 6!

Crikey, he's never a 6. A good 8 or 9 and a tentative 7, maybe.

Do you know the background to Tattersall going in loan and Duke keeping? Seems strange with YJB presumably on white-ball England duty soon...

PS Agree on the batting but I'd add Lyth to that list. Still need K-C and/or Brook to kick on a bit.

No, first I'd heard about it.

Not sure Tattersall had shown any form in the few years of opportunities he'd had, so why not blood Duke.

Wasn't Tattersall originally a batsman converted to a keeper?

Given how he's batted, I'd be comfortable with Bess at 7 for Yorkshire. 8 for england maybe. He's effectively taken the bresnan role. Although bres probably was more likely to kick on and make big scores.

I'm surprised they kept Olivier as the O/S and didn't instead go for a batsman that was going to play for a few seasons - in the Bevan/Lehmann role
