I think with Jones for McKinney, this will be the starting IX on Friday. I can’t see any way that Jones won’t play. He’s in good form and had a decent World Cup with Scotland. I never thought (much as I like him) that he’d progress as he has, and certainly not as a T20 batter.

It was wonderful seeing him twat the Glos attack all over Bristol at the weekend 😂
 

Well, it looks like I'll be returning to Headingley on Sunday. A friend I used to work with, a lancastrian who I introduced to cricket, has asked if I want to meet up and go to the match.

So, I'll just hope for a good game of cricket I suppose, and enjoy the overpriced naff beer!

You're doing him a disservice...it was a 3rd ball duck.:lol:. Amazingly we've won our last two home T20 matches against Lancashire.:eek:

I'm sticking to the red ball. I imagine my 'lucky winning streak' in the CC threads won't last long on the Blast.:lol:

Aye, you keep away from them bloody T20 threads lad, I’m resting you for the proper cricket ;).

I’m quite looking forward to this campaign now though, I think with the start we’ve made to the season added to the positive impact and messaging from the coaching staff we can expect a team who has clear plans of what they want to do and one that will play with freedom to express themselves and enjoy it. I think it goes without saying that we’ll go into most games as underdogs with our history in the competition and I expect most on here will expect failure - which is completely understandable given the circumstances.

BUT, that said, I think we’ll be sneaky good this year. With regards to what I’ve already said above and with what I see as a very useful and powerful batting lineup and some very capable spin bowling options. The obvious weakness being (or seeming to be) a limited and inexperienced seam bowling corps. Parnell’s inclusion helps, but doesn’t go anywhere near to answering what appears to be a difficult question.
