Superb performance from KP. clap

I imagine his average playing for Surrey in first class games is pretty impressive.

Probably almost touching Keedy's bowling average!

You have no case GB.Linley did his job, and as for raising Yorkie, s morale, that didn't lasy for long, just up to KP's arrival.An awesome knock which soon saw heads drop all round as did much as pleased.This really was men against boys, a privilidge to be there.How can Yorkshire possibly set a target with Kevin to reckon with ?

by **Fists of Fury** Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:56 am

Wow...trust you Surrey boys are pleased with the impact of that Championship novice that has recently returned from injury? He's only had a handful of appearances for Surrey, but he looks pretty hand whenever he's turned out.

So, what does the future hold for KP Pietersen? Ashes call-up surely beckons? Wink

Stunning innings.

Hi Fists - yesterday's innings appears to have been similar to the one at God's ground (Woodbridge Road, Guildford Wink

) last year when he destroyed Lancs' attack. From reading, his onslaught on Rashid reminds me of that I saw on poor Kerrigan.

Pietersen gets criticism from some Surrey supporters for not appearing particularly interested in the side when he's not playing. He's rarely seen at the Oval, his tweets hardly mention Surrey, etc, etc. However, when he crosses that white line you couldn't ask for more commitment. The talent continues to stagger us but it's the commitment on the field that has probably even more impressed and surprised us. In our final home match last season, he took a couple of well deserved wickets against Notts and (acting skipper) Batty had a real battle to get the ball out of his hands.

No increase in the tempo from the Tykes...............despite us having our joke bowler on!!

Lover - a game of opinions and you have every right to consider that I ''have no case''. I do suspect though that many coming up against you as judge and jury would be demanding a retrial.

That said, there's certainly no disagreement about Pietersen.

by thegooch7 Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:42 am

JFK assassination, The Berlin Wall falling, Nelson Mandela being released...............pfttt! Small fry compared to the day Gary Keedy took TWO (count them!) Yes two wickets for Surrey...........in the same innings!!

by thegooch7 Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:52 am

THUD!

by **LondonTiger** Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:53 am

England selectors doing their best to hamstring Yorkshire.

Bairstow not made available despite no intention to play him yesterday. Gary Ballance withdrawn half way through the match so he can train with the 20/20 squad.

by jimbobgooner Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:54 am

What has keedy had for breakfast lol

by **LondonTiger** Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:54 am

Oh and Rashid in amongst being pummelled by Pietersen also beat his edge on a number of occasions, with one missed stumping by Hodd.

by jimbobgooner Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:06 pm

Nothing like a missed stumping when a player is on 120

by guildfordbat Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:11 pm

Meanwhile, less good news .... Derbys are 70-7 in their 2nd innings against Somerset, a lead of 120. Almost certain now that there will be a winner in that match which will leave us in the bottom 2 tonight unless we beat Yorks.

by jimbobgooner Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:31 pm

Now keedy takes a catch

Hi Guildford.

That's refreshing to hear. I have seen him tweet about Surrey once or twice, but it is very rare. To be honest I wouldn't use that as a stick to beat him with as he generally just tweets about personal things and/or chats with the likes of Warne. He will mention England on occasion when not playing, obviously, but as you rightly say it is the attitude on the field that truly counts.

I'm sure that criticism is tempered somewhat by such performances. It is another sign of commitment that he doesn't just get to 100 and decide to throw it away, too. He's made some seriously big scores now and hasn't looked fed up of being out there. The appearances are few and far between, as expected of one of (if not the) world's finest batsmen, but I sure wish Warwickshire had such an intermittent luxury (ok, ours are pretty good too, just not quite so entertaining!).

by liverbnz Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:46 pm

What is the deal with all the no balls? Has someone got a problem? Tremlett? Or is this a poorly disguised way fo helping Yorkshire set a target? Smile

by **LondonTiger** Mon Jun 24, 2013 12:57 pm

As Yorkshire will be a bowler down, Patterson breaking bones in his foot, do not expect them to be over generous with their target setting.

by thegooch7 Mon Jun 24, 2013 2:28 pm

I can't see Yorkshire declaring now! There's about 50 overs left and a lead of 262 - that would be a decent declaration. But a bowler down I don't suppose you can blame them - so we need 3 very quick wickets (or possibly 2!!)

by jimbobgooner Mon Jun 24, 2013 3:01 pm

wkt number 6 for keedy clap

In this match we have now conceded 50 runs in no balls. Good job we have a bowling coach!

by thegooch7 Mon Jun 24, 2013 3:30 pm

You could understand maybe one bowler getting it wrong every now and then, but it's all the seamers!!

Hmmmmmm if Patterson is so badly injured, you would've thought Brooks would come in to bat ahead of him!

by jimbobgooner Mon Jun 24, 2013 3:40 pm

lead past 300 now Sad

Goochie - to be fair, we must give credit to Lewis for leading the way on no balls ever since he turned up on a lucrative two year contract.

Agree with you about it being odd that Patterson has batted before Brooks.

Yorks certainly don't seem keen to bowl. Dave Callaghan (Churchy's oppo at Radio Leeds) has recently revealed that Sidebottom also has an injury which will limit his bowling. Apparently, Dizzy Gillespie told this to Cally earlier in the day but swore him to secrecy until now. There never seems to be that passing of info from the Surrey coaching staff to Churchy.

keedy finishes with 7 for 99 clap

by jimbobgooner Mon Jun 24, 2013 4:53 pm

match drawn 9 points Erm

by kingdaveeagle Mon Jun 24, 2013 5:11 pm

Disappointing. I see we now have the second highest total of batting points, and equal highest number of bowling points - yet we can't wina game.

by LOVERBOY Mon Jun 24, 2013 5:43 pm

I'd be loath to critiscise Rashid for his bowling at KP yesterday.for much of the time he had nobody out straight,in an attempt to encourage Pietersern to go over the top and miscue,or draw him down the track for a stumping,and on more than one occassion he nearly succeeded..One could say Gale might have given him more protection or withdrawn him earlier from the attack,but given the match situation he was trying to buy KP's wicket and what resulted was great entertainment for all.Well done Adil for keeping at it,and still giving it air when he was being punished,he'll bowl a lot worse with better reward.

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Jun 24, 2013 9:35 pm

Bizarre finish to the match with no attempt to set Surrey a total. In retrospect it would probably have made more sense yesterday for KP and Department store (who can score quickly) to throw the bat around with a view to getting the last bonus points in six or seven overs - further increasing the pressure on Yorks batsmen.

by LOVERBOY Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:19 pm

Hindsight is a wonderful thing Corporal, however the real problem is the ridiculous bonus points situation.As things are at present there is little incentive for teams to risk defeat in pursuit of victory when the rewards hardly justify the risk.Do away with bonus points completly and then we'll see less wasted days as today.Four points for a win and one for a draw will give a far better indication of who is the better team at the season's end

by Corporalhumblebucket Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:29 pm

Guildford, given what you say I could understand that (if Derby had not collapsed so badly against Somerset) Derby would have been very cautious today about setting a "gettable" total for Somerset. Likewise, Somerset could have understandably shut up shop very early if they started to lose wickets in the chase. The two sides are in close competition and so it would be very important not to gift the competitors a stack of points.

But Surrey are no threat to Yorks and so one would have thought they might have set a very difficult but not wholly unrealistic target for Surrey knowing that we were desperate for points. I suppose it was primarily their own injury situation, plus a certain fear of KP that held them back. Given that Keedy had taken a stack of wickets ( Shocked

) they might have backed Rashid to do better second time round. All very negative.

by LOVERBOY Mon Jun 24, 2013 10:51 pm

To have bowled Surrey out in 50 overs or less was never a realistic possibility, obvious to all of us who were actually there.

Corporal -probably worth flagging that I was very impressed by the Radio Leeds commentator Dave Callaghan ("Cally"). Came across as well in with the Yorks coaching staff but still very much his own man unafraid to read out emails slagging off aspects of how things were being run.

Anyway, he "revealed" towards the end of play today that Yorks had been "very tempted" to set a declaration but Head Coach Jason Gillespie reluctantly concluded they couldn't realistically seek to get 10 wickets with 2 main bowlers (Patterson and Sidebottom) missing and / or injured. Gillespie had asked Cally not to broadcast this until late in the day (so as to presumably keep Surrey in the dark).

Disappointing but I can understand the thinking. Contrast also possibly worth making with our own Churchy ("lovely chap but ...").

by chichestersurryfan Mon Jun 24, 2013 11:55 pm

greetings to one and all.... not a bad performance from Surrey all in all... trouble is, the way I see it... this is probably our high point... and we still haven't remotely looked like winning a match this season... about to lose Peterson to England.. (interesting to note that we've now got the second most batting points of any team in Div 1. Very Happy

I guess that speaks volumes too about our bowling and lack of penetration... Like the Corporal and fellow hammers fan.. I had more than a passing interest in our fellow relegation rivals...Derby now looked doomed... amazingly we are still only 3 points behind Somerset so all is not lost... but I just can't see how we are going to bowl sides out twice.

I was just pleased to hear that Guildfordbat hadn't made it up to Leeds on Sunday... It was bad enough to find out he's seen KP famous knock against Lancs at Guildford last season.. it doesn't bear thinking about what he'd been like if he'd seen KP amazing innings at the weekend... Very Happy
