Yorkshire have picked the same 12-man squad for their Twenty20 Cup match against Nottinghamshire at Trent Bridge tomorrow, when they will try to cut out some of the mistakes which cost them dear in the Roses clash this week, writes DAVID WARNER.
Director of cricket David Byas said it was essential that they did not lose three wickets in the first half-dozen overs as they did against Lancashire, but was also critical of the way in which top-scorer Phil Jaques got out.
The Australian left-hander played some dazzling strokes in rushing to 72 from only 39 deliveries, with six fours and four sixes, but then attempted a risky reverse sweep at Brad Hodge only to pop up a catch to Glen Chapple.
"Phil should have continued scoring runs in the same manner that had been so profitable for him and to get out in the way that he did, to indifferent thinking, was poor for a player of his calibre," said Byas.
"I am not saying anything behind his back that I have not told him to his face and I also pointed out that his dismissal was the start of four wickets going down in as many overs for 16 runs which probably left us about 25 runs short of what we should have made.
"It was also difficult to get back on track after Matthew Hoggard had gone for 65 runs but there were many positive aspects that I hope we can carry into Sunday, such as sharp and snappy fielding, Ismail Dawood's great legside stumping and fine bowling by Tim Bresnan and Richard Dawson."
Although Nottinghamshire are in the top flight in both the Championship and the totesport League, they are struggling to find their form in one-day cricket this season and they went down by five wickets to champions, Leicestershire, in their opening Twenty-20 game. It is a match Yorkshire need to win if they are to stay in with a good chance of reaching the quarter-finals and boost the gate at Headingley on Tuesday for their Twenty20 match with Derbyshire.
Yorkshire (from): Harvey, Lumb, Jaques, McGrath, Wood, White, Pyrah, Dawood, Bresnan, Dawson, Hoggard, Warren.
