Yes, the refusal of a single from Moeen to put Barnard on strike was strange, does he not think Barney can hit a ball. Lots of things are strange though in our cricket, why is Garton in the side if you think that it is mainly his bowling and he only has one over and it might have been better to see him than Hasan who was awful, miles too short and bringing him back was poor captaincy. He has been successful bowling full and straight, tonight he did neither. Lintott has to be dropped and Smith is wasted too low down or should also go. Poor death bowling tonight, the exact opposite of last night and can Davies explain 2 fielders on the fence with a single needed off the last ball. Nothing worse than getting parked up, getting a good seat and you get home at 10.30 having lost.

Surprisingly, Yorkshire only have 5 one-day titles in their history. Maybe when it all started, because they were winning plenty of Championships, they were not that bothered about limited overs cricket but their modern day record is awful, only 1 Lord's final win since 1987.

Not sure about "Getting away with Yorkers" as some of them were good and the general thing about them is they are hard to hit if they are bowled properly, but isn't that the problem during certain games, the inability to bowl full and straight when we have bowled too many wide or short deliveries.

Northants finally lost, chasing a small total and last season winners have lost 4 from 4 but I am not going to say what I thought of them last year.

That is some of the best bowling I have seen in the last 6-7 overs of a T20 game to close out a win. They got 52 from the last 7 overs whereas we got 76 from our last 5. It looks as though they fold as soon as Malan goes or cannot win if he isn't seeing Yorkshire home.

76 from the last 5 overs.

Latham out but he was using up a few too many balls.

Great after 4 overs but.......

I do get the feeling that Moeen is a bit of a sulky individual. I have seen his family sitting in the stands watching him and they are very nice people, having sat with them. I get the feeling he is the 'golden boy' and perhaps he has this feeling of always being lauded and when something goes wrong, he feels it and goes into his shell. During the 2019 World Cup, he was dropped and rightly so and his whole body language was poor, he had a real look on his face like he couldn't really understand why and even after England had won, he had a face like a 'slapped arse' and looked thoroughly miserable as though the win meant nothing because he wasn't playing in the final. He took that same look to the 1st Test v Australia a bit later after he had another shocker of a game and looked very out-of-sorts during it. He doesn't take criticism very well and does not appear to have a "I will show those * what I can do". We don't need to carry passengers in the side and you would think that with his career very near its end, he would want to give himself every chance of success by being 'Up' for every game.

Not just lack of depth but scoring too slowly. If Latham is opening, he has to get on with it or it puts too much pressure on everyone else coming in. 34 off 23 is too slow and Moeen scored even slower if you consider that 20 of his runs came of 4 balls, that is 11 runs off the other 20. Once Mousley went, it looked like it was still on but numbers 6,7 ,8 and 9 made just 3 off 10 balls, pity in hindsight that Briggs didn't come in earlier.

• I have been a member for 36 consecutive years and when I first had my membership everyone knew where they stood, games at consistent times, knowing when games would be during the week and what time they would start. Now. it impossible to know exactly what you are watching. I did wonder the other day about just how much I would get to see, even though I am newly retired and getting to games is no problem but keeping the CC to the cold months isn't a way to keep members. Even Tests have become a chore, massively expensive, used to be the same price as an album in the 1980's, it has now got out of hand and all the hassle with bag checks, not being able to take in beer but you can purchase one for £6 (Not even sure as I never buy any there) and loudmouth drunks going to their only cricket of the year (Maybe a T20 dressed as a banana) who call themselves cricket fans. Add to this that you can't park anywhere like you used to and if I get a bus, I might be lucky to get home just after 8.15 which as I live 7 miles away is ridiculous. At what point do I jack it all in and those tossers at the ECB do not fill me with confidence that they have the games interest at heart.

LE, never mind the game, Gerry and I would love to hear how we are creating, 'Comedy Gold'.

Well done Gerry on keeping your posts clean today. Much improvement.

Good job Hasan didn't take 4 in 4 because I am not sure how you can top his last celebration,

Madsen gone, surely that is THE big blow. Whiteley is still there but never scores quickly enough to win games, only 6 50's in 228 T20 games and only a strike rate of only 136.

Greetings Charlie, good to have you on board for all things 'Bear' related - And other things, better watch out for GerryShedd, he can lower the tone as he did yesterday but luckily I was on hand to keep the salacious levels to a minimum.

They were only on the top shelf because of those delicate pieces, you don't want those getting damaged.

Come on Gerry, we knew exactly what you meant. I suppose when you were young it might be that like me you knew if you couldn't reach the top shelf of the newsagents, the man behind the counter looking at you suspiciously was never going to be believe you were old enough to buy them anyway. I am of course talking about Airfix models.

Nothing I hear from administrators and rule-makers, make me feel any better than I did 10 years ago when some numpty at the ECB was saying that only 50+ people watch the CC then said that we shouldn't have CC at weekends because he wanted to see young people playing cricket not watching - So he said that the youngsters were not watching the CC but we should not have it at weekends because they should be playing in cricket clubs, probably the most stupid contradiction I have ever heard in my life. From then on, I lost face in the ECB. All they are interested in is the same old line about money. Money won't buy success in any sport or else Brazil and Argentina would never win 8 world cup in football, between them. The old line about "Investing in grass roots cricket is what we need...", well, you can have as much money as you like but you need youngsters to WANT to play and not playing it in schools is a massive problem so why not employ ex-players to take it into schools with free equipment paid for by all this money that is made from The Hundread that they say is being made. Also, get more of it on TV, one of the things that got me interested was one day switching on the TV and gradually becoming interested in what was in front of me. You cannot get a young person to become interested in something that they cannot see.

When I looked at the Yorkshire line-up I did think it was well short of batting strength and Malan scored so slowly towards the end because of all the wickets falling around him. Our early bowling wasn't good and spinners bowling wides never looks good. They has 87-2 after 10 overs and that's why I thought 190+ looked on but they were to blame for their own downfall.
