I'd have expected him to play for most of the second half of the season had the tracks been dry enough. Also the surprisingly successful bowling of Younus meant that we had a second leg-spin option in the team already. Also the emergence of David Wainwright as a One Day finger spinner could make competition for places interesting next season. I hope Lawson hangs around because he will get his chance as Rashid moves into the England set-up.<BR/><BR/>As for the white ball stuff, Yorkshire seem to treat it as seriously as England used to - really as an opportunity to blood younger players. You're right RTE, we should be better at it and I'd like to see us have a concerted go at one of the competitions next year. However, I doubt there is a Yorkshire fan who would put any of the One Day competitions above the Championship.Richard Lakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12305428361656401297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37251922.post-45209833411980805502007-10-16T19:21:00.000+01:002007-10-16T19:21:00.000+01:00Excellent review.Yorkshire should be a much better...Excellent review.<BR/><BR/>Yorkshire should be a much better white ball outfit with the undoubted talent that they've got at their disposal, and maybe in 2008 we'll see that.Eye Jayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976957762483237814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37251922.post-61062142702452586332007-10-16T17:40:00.000+01:002007-10-16T17:40:00.000+01:00Great piece Richard.

It isn't too many years ago that he was close to the premier quick in the world - now the spark has gone and he may be struggling to hold his position for South Australia before the season is out.Stuarthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08864747766699243728noreply@blogger.com
