Ballance might be dropped to the second eleven after his performance today but Lyth could soon be back in the first team.
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Lyth is 2nd top scorer today  On a serious note, the 2nd XI fooked up with Ballance by trying to make him into a number 3 batsman when Trott couldn't hack it anymore  Remember when they tried to make Root into an opener Ballance is a 5 or 6 that can plod along holding the tail together or smash it about a bit when required  He has a better cricketing brain than Stokes or Buttler in that position and he was dropped while out-performing Bell who looks to have had his day. Father Time catches up with the best of players.Number 3 is still our biggest problem position

Yorkshires push for the Championship continued today
Bowling Zummarrzet out for 110 to gain 3 bowling points and finishing the day on 138 for 3 Looking well placed for another win. A couple of the 2nd string were drafted in with Lyth scoring a handy 62 and Ballance sat on 49 n.o.The first day of Middlesex' game at Warwickshire was washed out

How many points do they need to claim the title??
02-09-2015, 11:34
By my calculation if Middlesex got Maximum points possible from there remaining 3 games we would need 43 points to win from our remaining 4 games.
Nothing great will ever be achieved without great men, and men are great only if they are determined to be so. For glory gives herself only to those who have always dreamed of her.
1st Inns
Somerset 110 all out Yorkshire 391 all out 2nd Inns Somerset 44-2 Close of play

Our second string players did themselves proud too
Lyth 62 Ballance 91 Bairstow 91 (also passing 1000 Championship runs for the season in just 13 innings in the process) We'd have won the Championship in July if half our squad hadn't got drafted into the 2nd XI at various points throughout the 'Summer ?'

Middlesex drew
so they have to beat us and make sure we score less than 6 bonus points when we play them next week  Then hope that we don't score any points in our remaining games IT'S OURS And we should target 300 points and set a new milestone
