Excellent win

 

Now need to see it against teams we should be competing against for me to get remotely excited 

Totally agree, but if we have to have one or the other I'd rather we were giving the bigger counties a bloody nose. Strengthens the case for counties like us being of value.

Terrific result

Great win. First one I've not watched! 

[Harpenden Fox]

Pleased for the players, the staff and we long suffering supporters. We do have some decent players, many of whom have been under-performing. I don’t expect miracles but let’s hope we are now at least competitive more often than not

No way will we beat Yorkshire with their quality! 🤣

Happy to say that this hasn't aged well! 🤣

Everyone had written them off, fair play. Terrific result.

Pleased to see that somewhere in there the heart still beats.

We will probably lose to Derbyshire and then go and beat Yorkshire.

What you got for the lottery numbers? 😂

Have many of you visited Wantage Road and parked close by? I am considering travelling on Wednesday and looks similar to county with terraced streets and presumably parking regs.

Griffiths took 4 for 12 in the seconds today, beat Yorkshire.

Not been for a while but I recall there being a reasonable amount of parking at the ground itself. Only ever been to watch Championship days, mind.

Next game I'd make one change. Swindells for Lilley. Swindells has a higher ceiling than Lilley and I'd see him as a good placer of the ball, and quick between the wickets. Decent in the field too. Lilley is a slogger who comes off about one knock in 7 or 8. 

 

Steel hasn't done much at the top of the order yet, but I hope he is given a few more games, as I believe there is something there. Rishi Patel has had a super few weeks. Good scores in the Championship, and dynamic in T20. I think there could be lots more to come from him. We know Ackers is a good player, so let's hope yesterday brings him back into form. Hill is a good player too. Perhaps just needs to trust himself and give himself a bit more time at the crease.

I think that the only person who can’t see that Swindells should be playing is the man who picks the team. Swindells far more consistent with the bat than Lilley for me, I’d rather have someone that consistently picks up 20s, 30s than someone who will hit a 50/60 once every 7 games and is out for single figures in the other 6, alongside being a total liability in the field. 
 

Perhaps Nixon likes Lilleys bowling option but with Steel in the side now and Ackermann who is yet to bowl being another option I don’t see the need for Lilley.

There’s a park nearby that you are normally good to park alongside. It’s quite a nice area Tbf. Utterly amazed by the delivery robots around there

Dropped because he's not good enough for county level.

Sean Jarvis quoting Gary Player in his latest report upgrade on Billy Ocean from last week I guess.He reminds me more of David Brent everyday

Yerkshire lost again

[SemperEadem]

Looking at the schedule the seconds only have one game in the month of June, that seems ridiculous.

Ridiculous when the need to field a second team was the reasoning for having such a huge squad.

I would expect some others to be scheduled; but perhaps that's me applying too much common sense.
