Yorkshire v Derbyshire day 3

No play today at Headingley, which cannot be a surprise to anyone in the north today. Having said that, we had a lovely day up here in Scotland, so them's the breaks, I guess..

Tomorrow will be a challenge, the pitch having been covered for 36 hours. Madsen and Guest both deserve centuries after their sterling efforts yesterday, but they will need to work hard to get there.

Fisher and Coad will make them work tomorrow morning, no doubt about it. I don't see either side risking defeat and certainly not Yorkshire. It is hard to see how Derbyshire can do anything other than save the game, so logically tomorrow should be a draw and I fully expect that.

We'll see.

  1. Weather aside, we will either bat into the second session, and make Yorkshire bat again. Or we'll crumble, bat bat a second time and be struggling to save the game.

  2. Well its 8.50 am and the weather is set fair here at Headingly and if the groundsman has done his stuff we should start on time. Derbyshire really would have to bomb not to draw this game dare I say it with easy.A word about weather apps I use netwheather but would be interested to hear from you Steve and others about your recommendations. The forecasts
    on some appear to change every one and half seconds. So I'm either riding my motorbike naked or I'm set to scale Everest.
