Feel the same about gol......f

Am heading to Scarbados next week to watch YCCC v Surrey at North Marine Road all been well. What with Covid-19 it’s ages since I last attended a game. A lot that I sit with, usually have our same seats I only know by their christian names so it’ll be interesting who’s there. There’s Kenny, the Major, the Doctor, Ken, Stu, Ken ( Ben Coad’s dad ) Pete, Gerard & big Tony. We all have a lot of catching up to do. I love sitting with these guys & their wives as when the cricket gets boring talking changes to 1960’s TV etc. We sit in front of the away dressing room & there’s usually a bit of banter with the away players & coaches. Over the last few years we’ve had Alec Stewart, Mike Gatting & Kevin Sharp ( a Leeds lad & a supporter of the Mighty Whites ) come & join us for a laugh.

YCCC are through to the Blast quarter finals away at Surrey on Wednesday night I know a few guys who attend games at the Oval. The plan was to have a late lunch & then go to the ground. But we are missing Coad, Fisher ( injured ) Rashid ( away on a pilgrimage ) Root, Bairstow, Malan, Brook & Willey ( all on England duty ) so it looks very much like our team will consist of a lot of youngsters who frankly will get a drubbing.

So here we are Yorkshire v India. Joe Root currently 77* & Jonny Bairstow 75*. England need 115 to win with 7 wickets in hand.

What a fantastic run chase that was

Great result, wouldn't have picked it by the end of day 2!

Bairstow is on fire with his batting.

India were in the driving seat at the end of day 3. At the end of day 4 they were in the dust watching England disappearing into the distance. Very good Test Match and tremendous performance from England

Still buzzing from that amazing performance from Messers Root and Bairstow was an incredible watch. It became Yorkshire vs India with the White Rose triumphing

What a win last night for Yorkshire absolutely unbelievable stuff.

I didn't watch it as you told us that Yorkshire were going to get thrashed


(I did watch it, I couldn't not after one of the commentators said 'And he's taking Surrey to the final!' after Overton had hit a 6 )
