We need to move on and put to bed the last horrendous week. Lets look at the positives and forget all the negatives of last week.
We are still second in our FP group so if we win our last 4 matches we can not finish lower than 2nd and we will probably win the group.
Our overseas player has arrived and has already made a good contribution in both matches he has played in.
Our luck with the toss must change for the better starting today?. Win the toss, bat first and get a big first innings score.
Things can only get better from now on.
Rudolph in tremendous form.
Sayers batting like Sayers again.
Shahzad looking like he'll do a job for us.
Moxon scaring away all the 70 year olds who dare to express a criticism.
Yearbooks promised and rarely sighted.
The Red Kite presaging the end of the world as we know it.
Dewsburian,SteveC,Triple C.,dpressed, Cal Scab and all the rest who help to make our lives worth living when Yorkshire let us down yet again.
It's the red kite that's got me most interested. We also have a pair of giant cranes nesting where the Winter Shed used to be - I'm going to call them Hirst and Rhodes. I'm willing to bet you get a fantastic view from the cab - now that would make a fantastic competition prize for the Ashes Test. (I'm surprised Stewart hasn't sold them for corporate hospitality boxes. I bet they're draped in advertising by the time the cameras arrive.. I suspect i've just given him an idea.)
I suspect the answer to these woes is to try to be a "cricket lover", not a "fan". After all, who would willingly choose to be "fanatical"?
So far, Yorkshire have won two matches, drawn two and lost two. In normal life this would be considered a pretty acceptable performance - well within the expected range. In "fan-world", it's easily seen as a bit of a disaster. So why not try to adopt a "normal" point of view?
