Another hundred for Adil Rashid. Yorkshire in a very strong position now.

Outstanding effort from Yorkshire. Both sides were missing key batsmen (Root/Bairstow versus Bell/Trott) but Adil Rashid's hundred and a really good performance from Yorkshire's quartet of quicks made the difference.

Top of the league a third of the way through the season.

Can anyone mount a credible defence of the continuing presence of the Unicorns in the county set-up?
I mean, losing to Yorkshire in a 40-over game...

Re: County Cricket 2013 : Mon May 20, 2013 1:05 pm  

Or for that matter, the Dutch and the Scots who all have ICC one-day competitions to play in...

Re: County Cricket 2013 : Mon May 20, 2013 1:41 pm  

Scotland are definitely not taking part next season. The Dutch and Unicorns seemed to depend on which of the proposals for the new 50 over competition were adopted. http://www.espncricinfo.com/england/con ... 87249.html

Another unbeaten hundred for Adil Rashid. Takes his average up over 250 for the season...

Good job England sides aren't picked on form, don't need Yorkshire losing another player for half the summer.

Actually, that knock has taken his career batting average above his career bowling average. New candidate for greatest active all-rounder, or will he have to start eating to truly take that mantle from the previous incumbent?

Moin Ashraf cleans up the tail, but Somerset avoid the follow on by 9 runs.

Effectively consigns the game to a draw

Suggestions that the season begins in March with early rounds to be played overseas - the Gulf states and Caribbean being mentioned.
That sounds..... almost certainly completely and utterly unworkable.
