Is this it? Scarborough
Intersting Choice
By Grockle September 17 2008
A strange time to be playing cricket in Scarborough but here we are and this is a major game of 2008 as we stand so close to the Championship trophy. Arul Suppiah is drafted in for this one - an interesting choice which suggests that Marine Road will not be the 'buzzy' track it usually is and may need two spinners to get us the points we need!

A strange time to be playing cricket in Scarborough but here we are and this is a major game of 2008 as we stand so close to the Championship trophy. Arul Suppiah is drafted in for this one - an interesting choice which suggests that Marine Road will not be the 'buzzy' track it usually is and may need two spinners to get us the points we need!
v Yorkshire LVCC1 @ Scarborough Wednesday 17 September 2008
Day 1 starts on time but we only got half a day out of the first part of this game as bad light takes our 50% of the overs. Langer chosoes the following eleven;
Trescothick, Himself, Suppiah (hmmm), de Bruyn, Hildreth, Blackwell, Kieswetter, Trego, Thomas, Caddick, Willoughby
Welcome back to Craig Kieswetter with grateful thanks to Carl Gazzard for his sterling work during his injury. Arul Suppiah takes the number 3 spot, possibly because people expect the wicket to be slow and liable to take spin. Not as unusual as it seems, he has done this jobe before if people cast their minds back. Everything else seems to be in place as usual.
Yorkshire won the toss and here they come with the Mighty Goughie in front to take the field against his old partner in crime - Caddy
Followed by some new boy called 'Vaughan'
With the toss going to Yorkshire we find ourselves batting first and from a Chgampionship point of view this is not the scene we wanted to see after the first ball of the game
Matthew Hoggard gets Trescothick with Ball 1...not the breatest of shots Marcus Old Boy.
Marcus is on his way back after quite a messy swipe at Hoggy's first ball. Bad bad start Somerset and Arul is in a hugely responsible position almost immediately. Justin sees the requirement to be the strokemaker and takes on that role smacking 13 fours in an innings of 55 that moves us up into the 80's before he loses his wicket via Rashid and the hands of Mr Hoggard.
This brings Zander to the crease to establish the base for a late innings push. But, once again the scenario doesn't quite play out that way.
LBW to Rashid 6 balls into his innings and Somerset are 91 for 3
So it's down to Suppiah and Hildreth to get us into this game.
Well Arul seems up for it.
And so does James
Looking Good JH
The boys settle into the game and despite the stoppages and the early finish they move the score on to 160 for 3 finishing the day on 58 for Arul and 29 for James.
Hopefully wew'll get a full day tomorrow.

Banger chasing a wide half volley is not everybody's idea of a dream but then again I can see what you mean.
Let's hope we have a cracker,it's always good to see the boys and girls from the "corridor".

I'm with them all too,even the kit bag and the coach driver.
No need to single one player out,that's not right and makes a divide.
If you want to send him your personal thoughts that's great.
Don't include us all in that though as I want every last one of them to do their best.

ECB preview of the match.
Former England opening bowlers Darren Gough and Andrew Caddick are set renew their rivalry one last time when Yorkshire face title contenders Somerset in Division One of the LV County Championship.
Gough and Caddick formed one of England’s most potent opening bowling partnerships under Nasser Hussain but have retained a healthy rivalry since

Mark Turner also included in the Somerset squad. So if the wicket looks really quick, the last place might well be between him and Wes Durston.
For Yorkshire, Matthew Hoggard faces a late fitness test on a shoulder problem.

Good luck to all the boys tomorrow, and the squad as a whole. To have come this close in our first season back in division 1 is a fantastic achievement, and one you all can be proud of. Lets hope the positive cricket returns, everyone contributes, and this time in 5 days time, we are contemplating our greatest success in the clubs history.

The team selection on the other site is from.
Langer, Trescothick, de Bruyn, Hildreth, Durston, Blackwell, Trego, (Kieswetter or Gazzard) Thomas, Caddick, Willoughby, Munday, or Turner.
I don’t expect Munday to play, and if Turner plays who do we leave out Trego?
We could play Trego for his batting and leave out Hildreth.
As for Caddick being refreshed we all know in the past Caddick always needed a lot of overs under his belt, I hope it doesn’t back fire leaving him out in the last match.

Come on lads lets give it everything.
Im predicting Turner in for Durston, Caddy in for MM.
Rightly i think JL wants results in nest two games, therefore we need 20 wickets, attack of Charl, Caddy, Thomas, Turner, Trego, Blacky is best chance i feel of getting them.
Team therefore i reckon will be
JL, MT, ZB, JH, PT, IB, CK (or CG) AT, AC, MT, CW.
Tail will start at 8 but best chance of getting the wickets.
Come on lads, all the best

Surely mike leaving the most consistent all rounder out of todays game would not be the greatest idea.
I think its quite simple,Munday will be out and Caddick in and then a toss up between Thomas and Turner,personally i would go for Turner.

The inside line now is that Arul is set to open and JL move down to No.3. This probably means dropping Wes Durston.

Somerset captain Justin Langer told BBC Somerset: "We know that if we win at least one (of our two remaining games) then we will win the County Championship."
"That's a real positive for us. I'm happy to be in our position - we're one point behind Hampshire at the top of the table and they've played one more game than us."
"We're in an enviable position compared to some of the other counties."

“Brother of” I wasn’t suggesting for a minute that we do leave Pete out, there may be a possibility that Turner may play and I was wondering who the club will leave out if they did. (Sometimes team selection can be baffling)
I guess Caddick will be in for Munday and if Turner is in whom do we leave out?

Sorry mike,my personal opinion is if the wicket does have a bit of pace in it then surely Thomas would make way for Turner.
I then think we have a very well balanced attack with Charl,Caddy,Pete and Turner along with the spin of Blackie.
Its always nice to be able to bring on someone who can hit the deck hard and make it uneasy for the batters and i think that is what Turner would bring to the side.

Mike -- the North Marine Road track has a reputation has a bit of a trampoline. So, I'm not surprised that one top extra top three batsman has been picked. Now, as LoL suggested, one might have thought that Neil Edwards would have been the call, but he does appear to be very firmly out of favour now, which is a shame.
p.s. I'm pleased that there is no Naved ( probably their quickest bowler) on this track.

Just a theory but does anyone think that the selection of Arul is do with not letting the Yorkshire bowlers get used to bowlimg to 2 left handers at the start of the innings and having our 3 left handers spread out in the top 6?
Just a theory and thats maybe why Edwards did not play.

Having said that, I expected Turner to play as he had done on the Old Trafford trampoline and the fact that he has not played suggests that maybe Langer/Rose are expecting less bounce than usual out of this strip.
Obviously, we have to hope that it isn't dead, though..

The commentators have already been speaking about "indifferent bounce" and mud appearing on the wet surface., so the pitch is probably atypical.
Langer gone now to one positive stroke too many, perhaps. Back to honours even, given that they inserted us?

55 runs from the three most senior players (apart, possibly, from Ian) not really what was called for.
What's the verdict from the commentators? Is there a lot of turn out there? Or just Langer being over-aggressive and Zander missing something at the start of his knock?

Update on your rivals.
As you have been informed there is no play at the Riverside today.
The heavens opened in the small hours of this morning and the outfield ressembles a paddy field.However Premiership football has come to the rescue and Sunderland have loaned their heated lamp gantry,to supplement the hot air blowers, to help dry out the outfield. The wicket is okay so Durahm will go into 3 day mode.

Bye, bye Lancy, Lancy bye-bye.
I do, however, after the nasty suspicion that the likes of Flintoff will suddenly be cleared to play next week...
