I'll admit to being disappointed there. If that was a Championship game, you'd want Yorkshire to get it over the line.
Tail wickets lost cheaply on the morning of Day 4. One bowler pulls up (Bresnan). Can't get at them. Game drifts. Lose.
There'll be talk of in form. Of overs in the legs. Of time at the crease. But, we'll find ourselves in that position in 2016. The tail, Gale & the bowlers need to hone how to win from there.
239 for seven. Has rapidly become 279 all out. Maybe we've wobbled ‘em slightly at 54-2. But, it didn't look in much doubt after that.
We've found out we can still be frail up top. Ballance has found a bit of form. Will Rhodes has done very well with the bat. And well with the ball. Could it be a big breakthrough season for him?
We're spinner lite without Rashid. Carver has got overs in. And taken confidence building wickets. But, it's going to be a tough ask for him.
I hope we win the ThreePeat title. But, surely the MCC will not bring the Champion County game to Abu Dhabi next time around.
295/620
