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.
Interesting to note that the Surrey co-commentator chirping on about the pitch being potentially chosen to stop Surrey getting wickets and constantly banging on about how talented Surrey are.
You then put the BBC website on, go to the cricket page and we hardly get a mention.
Of course if we end up with an unlikely win, it will be solely down to the fact that Surrey have had call ups & injuries without any mention of 4 or 5 players that we have missing.
Great win, bowled with discipline throughout & batted really well in the 2nd innings in difficult conditions.
Hopefully Webster will settle in with the ball in hand because his batting could be really handy, press the accelerator when needed or pump a few over the boundary to counter attack.
The ball that got Davies was unplayable but he & Yates set us up nicely.
We are as brittle as biscuits with this line up.
I would be pretty surprised if we get near Yorks total
EDA
Got away with it as Yates snaffles Root!!
Oh dear me
What a drop from Davies..........Root as well.
Really, really bad, game changing bad.
phew..........Smith managed to keep that one stuck in!
And 2 chances to gain a run out...........what a mess
I am not knocking Kai Smith as he is making his breakthrough but that was poor keeping there..........easy chance to his right to snaffle Bess.
You cant be missing chances like that, it was only a couple of feet away from him.
