My only comment on this is, why put the tickets on sale, when presumably the attendees this year will be en route home!!

Would 12/24 hours have made much difference given the game will be at least 365 days away.

Do others agree with me that Davies should continue as captain and Moeen, if available, should replace Benjamin?

100% agree, but think 100% it won't happen.

So is it the case that the top team goes straight to the semi final, and 2nd and 3rd play a quarter final? If this is the case we need to win and hope Leicester fail to win, and there is a winner of the Middlesex/Sussex game.

The link isn't working, but you can copy and paste into your browser. I've signed but as I am not a member it will not recognise me as being a bears fan which is a shame.

Dear me, far better wasting a couple of tickets, kindly being offered by someone AT FACE VALUE.

From the club's website 'The game will not be televised by Sky Sports, but will be streamed online at edgbaston.com.'

There is a quarter final slot for Wednesday, that could be a possibility I would have thought.

I expect so, no need to change anything in my opinion. Other than the standout batting, I thought the bowlers were excellent, albeit helped by the fact that Northants had to have a thrash, I also thought we looked very sharp in the field, so yes more of the same.

Looking forward to my first trip tonight.

I can think of better words than abject, but I would probably get a banned!!

That would be the way to travel if I lived in Birmingham, a snip at £20, however I think they are cutting it a bit fine leaving at 1.45. Strange that they think the trip back will take longer than going, the M1 and M25 clockwise on a Friday is no place to be.

I haven't actually seen the incident, however from reports I've read I have mixed feelings, a great gesture from Yorks at the time, however the ramifications mean Yorkshire could lose a home tie in the quarters and deprive us a place in the top four. I am very sure in the heat of the battle the consequences didn't feature in the fielders actions and of course we will never know if the match would have ended differently.

...so it's down to us beating Northants and the pears losing at Leicester. I wouldn't put too much money on us qualifying.

Graham Thorpe says that he thinks The Hundred will help England's Test match batsmen??!!

Either he is delusional or he thinks we are all stupid - or maybe he's just remembering who pays his wages.

I think it's the later.

Fantastic exhibition of batting.

Unchanged from last night, notts won the toss and put us in.

I believe there is a live stream.

Just had a look at the match preview, there is no mention of a live stream, I'll check the Yorkshire website later.

I wonder if there will be a live feed for this or any other of the fixtures where there will be reduced capacity?

Just today discovered that forum is up and running again, I didn't post much on the old forum but it was always very interesting to read the opinions and views of more knowledgeable bears fans.

Well done and thanks to those who contributed to set up the new board.
