Hello you may have guessed I support Yorkshire, just wondered what others felt about our season so far and expectations for the coming months.
It seems we're going to have a struggle on this year 51 points from 6 county championship points isnt good.
Its fairly obvious we have a big Jacques Rudolph shaped hole in our batting line - up but others aren't taking responsibility, Lyth, Gale, Mcgrath, Rashid need to scoring runs they're now our experienced players.
However nice to see youth still coming through Root and Ballance starting their 1st class careers. Bairstow is playing well and the few times i've seen him play I think he's easily the best young talent i've seen through our academy, all the shots and pure class.
Prospects for the season, survival is division 1 and continued positive development of our players
Yorkshire!, yorkshire!

Well, as a fellow Yorkshire fan, I think that we have been poor this seaon. We started well against Worcestershire but I think that the disappiontment against Notts really took it out of us. Yes, we have implemented players like Root and Ballance, and for the most part they have done okay, but I think that Adam Lyth not playing well and not firing has been detrimental and has placed too much pressure on these young guns, like Root at 3. Ive been impressed by Sayers though, he had a really good Roses match against the quality of Jimmy Anderson, who is in fact one of the best bowlers in the world, and Joe wouldnt back down. Now if we can only get both Sayers and Lyth firing, and maybe get Shahzad back since he hasnt been picked in the first Test match squad.

We are having a dire season, only objective for the season should be to stay in the County Championship Division 1

Agree FCHT.
Is it also true that we're the only county not to have appeared on finals day in the Twenty/20?
Another season of doom & gloom looks pretty much nailed on.
Two shocking performances so far.
