This weeks thoughts
Well all appears to be going well on tour, our fragile batsmen seem to be getting it together. Centuries for Lees,Kohler -Cadmore Brook & Leaning are encouraging. This week has had Andrew Gale saying that TKC is one of the finest white ball players in the country. As I type Brook has just retired on 67 & Lyth with his first knock of the season scoring an impressive 56 off 98 balls. New recruit Cheteshwar Pujara is reportedly to be having a run of good form in domestic cricket in India.Let's hope this is a sign of things to come this season.
Now less than 4 weeks to go, hard to believe as the snow falls outside. Anyway we are going to try the new Premier Inn at Headingley & have booked in for 4 nights for the Essex game, let's hope it lasts longer than the corresponding fixture that took place at Scarborough. Let's also hope the friends we sit with have all managed to get through the winter.
One surprise this week was Ryan Sidebottom signing as a bowling consultant for Surrey where he will work alongside Geoff Arnold, another ex England quick. Sidey apparently was offered a similar role by Yorkshire before Christmas to work alongside Richard Pyrah but turned it down saying he wanted some time away from the game & did not accept.
New Zealand & England are currently preparing for the forthcoming 2 match series which starts in Auckland on Thursday. Looks like the only Yorkshire interest will be Root & Bairstow.
I shall be watching new recruit Billy Stanlake with some intrest in the forth coming Indian Premier League where he will be playing for Sunrisers Hyderabad which kicks off next month.
I see Travis Head has joined Worcestershire shame because I would loved to have seen him back at HeadIngley. I still fondly remember his knock of 175 at Grace Road, one of the highlights for me back in 2016.
Sadly this week saw the passing of Dave Callaghan the voice of YCCC who will be missed by not just Yorkshire fans but by all followers of the county game. Cally's relaxed style of broadcasting will be missed, whoever takes over from his has huge shoes to fill.
