Warm enough this week to still be playing championship cricket. But don’t give the ECB ideas. I did attend the Bob Willis Trophy final at Lords which extended into October but it was brassic that year.

Openers for most counties have struggled-can’t think of many 1 and 2’s who formed decent partnerships other than Burns and Sibley. Happy to be corrected.

3 in a row-could have been 5 if we’d have got over the line at The Oval. What a game it’s been over the last 3 days. It’s a shame the season’s ended.

Our fanbase in Yorkshire grumbles about Surrey in terms of them being our second biggest rivals but I’ll wager most of those haven’t been there in recent years to see the facilities or hospitality you’re afforded

100%. A day at The Oval is a great experience.

tonysweeney.bsky.social @tonysweeney.bsky.social · 18/09/2026
For me one of the big things we needed this season was seam bowlers breaking through as Coad and White won’t be around forever. Massive game from Ben Cliff this week. Top effort.

Sorry! My heart’s with Somerset in this year’s title race but I have to root for a Yorkshire win whenever we play. A game with twists and turns determined by big partnerships down the order.

A great 4th day in store. Wasn’t expecting to say that at 54-6, wasn’t expecting to say that this morning either.

A bit of a topsy turvy day. Looked a decent call to bat first-bowl last given how our spinners performed last week etc. Fair to say we didn’t get the amount of runs we’d have liked-fans of every county have probably said the same all season. But, as so often, the bowlers have done their bit.

tonysweeney.bsky.social @tonysweeney.bsky.social · 15/09/2026
Yes. I’ll be happy if we get Overton out early doors tomorrow.

Congrats. Looking forward to locking horns again next season. PS Well done Harry Duke-what a game he had.
011
tonysweeney.bsky.social @tonysweeney.bsky.social · 10/09/2026
Yes. I saw he mopped up the tail at Grace Road PDQ today. Only 35. England’s loss, Somerset’s gain. Let’s beat them then hope they go on to win it is my motto.

I wonder if he and Larry the Downing St cat ever compare notes about their various ‘owners’ ( though they both know they rule the roost).

What a session once that first wicket came. More of the same from these two after lunch please.

A great day’s play. Hopefully we skittle them out early on tomorrow. Would be tempted to start with White and Yadav. Good to get the full 104 in as well after yesterday’s frustrations.

I had less faith in the weather than I should have and left before the resumption after tea. 🫣 A strange day in some respects. I was surprised we batted first. Despite the customary batting wobbles, we may conjure up a decent score.
