Good win in the end and we bowled well, they have a capable top 3 but after that not much at all.
3 wins from 4 and hopefully we can carry this momentum forward. Northants are a decent unit on good form and look as though they will win the group but we really should step up and secure a place from the remaining games.
Anyone who finishes below Yorkshire need shooting at Dawn!!
Lyth is plum there, hitting middle and leg without any movement but the umpire is lookng too hard at it thinking it is moving down leg side. Poor decision.
Competitive total in the end down due Garton, Bernard & a couple of big shots from Hassan.
If we can get their top 3 out without too much damage being done we should be fine but we had to rely on some late order big shots to get us there because we threw our first 6 wickets away.
I am also happy to post when we do well, that is the ups and downs of a match but the general unhappiness stems from us underperforming in all formats with the exception of the CC win in 2021.
We should expect better, what is the point otherwise?
Sorry to bang on but this is terrible batting
Swashing away at balls that are just not there to be hit
No wonder Edgbaston has been half empty at best so far this year. It is a pretty long/awkward round trip for me to get there and I dont think I will be bothering to catch a couple of games this year for the first time in a while.
The talent is their but the application isn't and there seems an arrogance about us that I do not like. I think it stems from Davies but the players need to take their own responsibility for such poor displays.
Not good enough.
Does Moeen really want to be here?
When we need a proper innings from him, he just chucks his wicket away lazily.
Yorks really are a poor team but we are staring down the barrel again.
There is something not right when we are struggling badly against some very poor teams who seem to have a togetherness that we lack
Hain with a ridiculous shot makes it 3 easy wickets for Yorks
And now Mousley throws his wicket away after a pretty iffy innings.........no need for shots like that when there is a good score on the board
Davies giving his wicket away with another silly shot just when it looked as if we might get going........he should have been caught the previous ball but Revis messed up his feet on the boundary.
Hopefully this win will get us back on track but so far we have played 3 poor teams. This was the worst Yorkshire T20 I can remember. Some of the shots their middle order produced were terrible.
Durham & Notts also looked well short of a team you would expect to be challenging to get out of the group.
If we line up like last night for the majority of the remaining games, we should comfortably make the Q's again.
Thankfully Yorkshire have thrown away 4 wickets!
Some abysmal batting has allowed us to tighten things right up here
I have a great idea - Lets open up with seam in cloudy conditions, cause problems for the opening pair and then switch to spin to allow them to crack the ball all over the place. We can wait until they have their eye in and then switch back to pace........brilliant captaincy
Is this Sylvester really a cricketer?
Who on earth is responsible for his signature?
Poor from Barnard there really
Such a long way to go in the innings and he is standing miles away, exposing all of his stumps.
We will do well to reach 120 her on a wicket that the girls smashed 190 odd
When we are poor, we do it very well.
I have only just noticed that Garton, Miles & Tubby Sylvester are our seam attack............my grass looks like it needs a good cut.
At least this new bloke WIDE is scoring at a run a ball...........
Both openers gone to that world class spinner....Parkinson
Trap set and both walk straight into it hook, line & sinker
ETA Make that 3 with Ali now giving his wicket away for 0

Just so poor and I like him as a batsman but Davies is never a captain in a thousand years. I wish he'd just concentrate on batting or keeping, he's not up to doing all 3!!
Agree, this is another one of our problems that has not been fixed.
Barnard should take over captaincy.
Terrible stuff, probably the worst 20 overs of bowling I have seen from the Bears.
I wasn't particularly looking forward to this season with some of the players that have left but I at least thought we might have a more joined up recruitment plan.
Notts stank the T20 out last season and are without some of their traditional better players but they could put the 16 year olds on against this attack.
How unprofessional and disorganised are we?
Where on earth have we got this tub of lard from?
It is bad enough seeing Miles line up to bowl & then Garton has just lost the plot but we must have better players than this Sylvester guy.
Recruitment once again disgraceful.
