Back to the top of the table today after polishing off Middlesex on day 4....now they don't have another LV Championship match until Aug 15th !!
I hope they don't lose momentum...penulitmate Championship match is against Notts at Trent Bridge...could be title decider...might have to take a trip if i'm not working.
And all this without their (arguably) best 3 players
-
Brilliant win today in the Roses match, coupled with Notts losing todat means Yorkshire go into next weeks game at Trent Bridge with a 26 point lead in the Championship.
Definitely going next Friday work permmitting...if the game goes that far !
-
Top banana, gale is banned for the last 2 games though which throws a bit of a spanner in the works, he is a terrific captain.

Fantastic performance ... and although it would (of) have been great to win the CC last year - heigh ho who gives a Donald Duck !
I will be at TB Friday - perhaps we can meet up ? More likely I will make it Thursday though for reasons I don't want to elaborate on here !
Its a bit alien but ... come on you Whites Grrrrrrr
-
Depends on work next week, but I will let you know old lad
-
I think I am going for the first day of the Notts match. ..anyone else going then?

Half price beer in Hooters for old gits on Thursdays?
-
Looks like i'm off on Friday...let's hope the weather holds and the game goes to the last day
-
HOOters offer looks good and I would like to take advantage (of it ) .... but will miss all days now !
-
I'm going on Thursday. What is Hooters?
-
Oh no..... the question has been asked now........
-

My mate once got me a Calendar from the Hooters in Dallas near to where he was working. He'd gotten some of the Waitresses to sign it for me. Needless to say, the then Missus never got to look at it....
Anyway...great start today. Should be posting at least 450 tomorrow to put the pressure on Notts

Ha. Wish I hadn't asked!
Not really my scene. I think I will leave the Hooters experience to you boys. Me......I will just enjoy the cricket.

Yes a great start ... hopefully post a big score now and bat them out of the game. Come on you whites !

Erm...they're all wearing white..lol
-
Bugger...Ballance just gone for 99...that 450 is looking a little distant at the moment
-
In Rashid we trust!
-
450 almost there, would have liked a few more than 500 really as Notts have very capable batsmen. Having said that Rashid will love the turn the wicket is giving. So if 450 is to be it, lets go at 'em.
-
Well, as near as Damn it is to swearing that's 500, from this position Notts cannot win, and that does away with their title hopes.
Warwickshire look set for a win, so they will be the only team capable of catching Yorkshire, if Yorkshire fail to press on and win. And that is dependant on Warwicks beating Durham and Yorks only getting few Bonus points against Somerset in their last games.
-
Yorkshire 532 now, I wonder if they will bat the day out?

Nope Bresnan out for 95 and Yorkshire declare
-
Notts 12 for 3 after 3 overs!
-
25 for 4 now
-
I'd cancel that trip for Friday GM-MarkB, don't think there'll be much Cricket left to watch Fella :-)
-
Yeah looking grim innit...lol
-
Oooooh i'm torn here !!
Follow on is a certainty, but how many wickets will they 'spare' for me to see tomorrow ??? Whilst I want to see us wrap up the title..I want to be there when it happens !
-
Not looking good for you bud. Notts all out 203 following on 0-1 first ball.

I think there's enough cricket for you to be "in at the kill."
As a Warwickshire member I take my hat off to Yorkshire. Worthy winners of the Championship. A Yorkshire victory increases our chances of finishing 2nd.
-
5 Down 5 to go...can I justify the expense (relatively small that it is) of going tomorrow ??
Let's see how I wake up lol
-
I went today and had a great day. Wish I could go again tomorrow and hopefully watch us win the title. Sadly I can't.

Did you pay on the gate ?
-
All over, 5 wickets this morning, County Champions with one match to play
-
YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
I ended up not going, but I couldn't be happier. All over in 65 minutes
What a fantastic performance, doing the business when it was needed. Notts never had a chance from the off. I was questioning Gillespie's tactics during day 2 but it was spot on. The batsmen did the graft on the first 2 days, but Sidebottom & Brooks must be the best new ball partnership in the country. Throw in Rashid who looks a shoe in for the Sri Lanka trip and bob's your Uncle
Champions !!
-
Rashid looks taylor made for the sub continent wickets
-
And did I read somewhere that 10 of the 11 came through the Academy? If true, that's incredible.

Ballance and Brooks didn't come through the academy, but there is a large majority of the squad that did, they reckon the acadamy is teeming with outstanding talent
-
The piece regarding the above was about the players on the field TODAY. Ballance was not on the field, his place was taken by Richard Pyrah, so its true to say 10 of the 11 came through from achademy.
-
Will Rhodes is the England under 19 captain and hasnt got in yet. The spinner Fisher is going to be some talent as well.
Yorkshire is great....lets go for independence!

Fair comment

It is teaming with talented Batsmen, unfortunately it's thin on the ground when it comes to bowlers with potential talent to make it at county level which is a crying shame.
I also expect to see Adam Lyth opening the batting for England in the very near future, i know he's on the verge now with the England selectors.

Technically Ballance DID come through the academy - we signed him on academy terms as an 18 year old. Of course as a Zimbabwe- born, Harrow-educated man who we poached from Derbyshire Seconds I'm not sure we can really claim him as one of our own!
Fantastic achievement yesterday, and to win it in that style is great. Lyth must be a definite for the next test.

Great 67 minutes of "boring" cricket.
