What is that for?

He placed 59 bets last season, 5 of which involved Leeds games.

Well.. 200/5 and the Ashes could be retained by Aus in the first hour with the new ball due in 6 overs. Has it come down to Stokes once again or can Bairstow or Buttler find a notable score to get to that follow on target. It needs to be reached to have any chance of taking the series to the final g...

Monty Panesar on SSN: "I'd keep the same team for the 4th test and just switch Roy & Denly around." In my opinion Roy is no test batsmen and needs to be replaced now. Moving down the order would make little difference. A number of his failures have been down to poor technique, an inability to read w...

Or you could look at it like this. We swept aside a Bristol side who have won 3 on the trot since, showing they are a decent side in the process but made to look like relegation fodder on the day by us. We did unpick Forest once and unlike relying on "the hand of Roofe" goal like last season it was ...

Good resistance this afternoon and although I wouldn't say it is finely poised at least we are still in with a chance. The key will no doubt be the new ball after a few overs in the morning. Reckon if we can get to within 100 with 1 of Root, Stokes, Bairstow or Buttler still there it could be a tens...

Kent all out for 40 in their second knock. That's just incredible. The wickets have been falling at an alarming rate over the last two days in that match and Essex will require 153 to win. I reckon if they get the required runs then that should be the title wrapped up along with it, leaving Yorkshir...

Steve Smith abused in the Long Room of all places: "The prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club ejected one of its own members from Lord's on Saturday after he hurled verbal abuse at Steve Smith in the famed Long Room of the pavilion. The incident occurred when Smith was walking from the field after mak...

We do have a lot of very good bowlers bar maybe a decent spinner.. Agree I think we have enough in Broad, Archer, Woakes and Stokes nevermind JA to cause them as many problems as their attack will cause us during this series. All Leach needs to do is continue his CC form and he could have a big say...

Travis Head out via VAR

Plumb LBW overturning Aleem Dar's decision

71 for 4

Glad he went early. It's only the 2nd test and I'm already sick of him pulling faces and sticking his tongue out while at the crease. Almost annoying as Warner and his gloves. Early walks for those 2 are fine by me.

While Johnny B did quite well for his half century with a measured innings I can as ever see where Boycott is coming from. In the 1st test while SS was making his runs in the first innings batsmen came and went. Smith was protecting them, especially the tail enders by keeping himself at the crease, ...

The Romans

Good one. Actually he never actually said it anyway as that guy next to him stood up at the same time and beat him to it followed by everyone else. Cue Kirk's tears. He's 102 now you know!

Who'd ever heard of Spartacus before he stood up and said "I'm Spartacus"?

The thing with Roy is he is 29 now and has spent the whole of his international career in ODI and T20 and only made is test debut a few weeks ago v Ireland. His inclusion for me is simply desperation by the selectors at what is an ongoing problem of finding an opening pair capable of holding their o...

I think Leach coming in for Moen is a given for the 2nd test and see how he fares. Moen is really out of form. Rashid is also an option and would relish a shot at the Aussies in the 3rd test at Headingley. I can't see where the runs are going to come from to be honest to win this series despite good...

Paudie O'Connor - Free Transfer to Bradford City. Two year contract

I believe it was a 3 year contract.

Tea on Day 3: Essex are 191/6 needing a further 50 runs to avoid the follow on. That was a good session for Yorkshire and hopefully they can get the wickets and get Essex back out to bat before the close. Can't see this ending in any other way than a draw if they don't. Good forecast for tomorrow.

1135258905183997952 Watch the Leeds fan (you'll know which one) when Leeds score!!! Where did he end up? In an ambulance probably :bulance: :lol: I've seen that footage many times over the years. That match is featured on the Race for the Title DVD which I dig out now and again. Memorable season. G...

Alastair Cook out for 2

Essex 5 for 1

Sir Alastair if you please Schoolboy edge to Kohler-Cadmore. He looked so bored in the slips yesterday. At one point he resorted to playing paper scissors stone with himself. He really did.

Should be pushing on for 350+ by the close of play I reckon. Nice to see Lyth making some runs for a change. Kohler-Cadmore playing some nice stuff too.

Less than 3 weeks until the fixtures come out. June 20th.
