Bloody hell that's a couple of million down the pan!!!

Can't see Ballance being there long.

Too right!

That's a pity. I've got tickets for the NZ test.

Today is going to be a big day. Though seeing as this is Yorkshire they'll probably have a row about someone being in the wrong parking space and the EGM will be adjourned until next May.

Yorkshire chairman Roger Hutton has resigned. Looks like he’s taking a pop at the ECB on the way out.

Michael Vaughan has also been accused of making racist comments!!

Stupid comments I can see him guilty of, but racist??? I'd be surprised.

 

[Squarebear]

Agreed. My guess is that if Vaughan said it he would have meant it teasingly, with a wink, rather than maliciously. If he'd wanted Yorkshire to pick fewer Asian players he's hardly likely to raise that matter with the actual Asian players.

Edit: Vaughan's case not helped by Rana Naved-ul-Hasan's claims of hearing racially insensitive comments.

Why piss on his head ? Was there an element of tea bagging involved?

Brings back memories of Fatty's boys pissing over Bonnie Cartwright's head from behind the stage curtains at Baron's!

" She fùcking loves me boys " :lol:

Mixed messages from the board saying " at the time he took it on the chin".
Cant help themselves.

They f*cked....good..........

These "young men" are daft when left alone for 5-6 days traveling around the UK in the cricket season.
I am not defending them one bit .

I personally do not think Vaughan is a racist.

We all know , well those of us who have been involved in t eam sports "what goes on tour stays on tour".
The banter and insults..... sometimes it is all said in jest.
Nowadays everything seems to have to be so sanitised and squeaky clean.

Anyone know what Neath RFC do on team bus to new recruits?
Anyone know what Newport RFC and Bridgend RFC used to do as "initiations"........even Mumbles got into the papers a few years ago.

I'll leave it there.

Racism is abhorrent but there's a lot of abuse that has gone on amongst teams we all love, support and may even have been part of

"Yorkshire head coach Andrew Gale has been suspended as part of an investigation into a tweet he sent in 2010."

YCCC going to going through everything with a fine tooth comb. No statute of limitations for Tweeters, as we saw with Ollie Robinson in the summer.
