it's pretty much impossible to find out any info about any uni games or pre-season friendlies

nobody seems to be carrying results, scorecards and the like.

crapinfo had scorecards and schedules for our gentle warm ups in Zim, but nothing on the uni game which is a first class fixture

I did look on the ECB site, but didn't find anything, so thanks for that

who is L S Robinson, btw?

doesn't appear anywhere in the squad lists as far as I can tell

University don't look likely to be beaten. 111 lead and off for the rain. Allison flogged Drissell for 3 consecutive sixes, presumably over the short boundary

slightly worrying that we conceded a fair few runs against the university tail in both innings. Lets hope that the curse of 9, 10, Jack doesn't continue to hurt us this season

Uni have declared and set us a target of 112. Play to resume at 5pm. Borthwick and Bedders are opening

or Whitfield and Bushnell are opening

Academy product from Philadelphia cc. Robinsons a cricket dynasty there

off again

60-2

might be it

all done at Headingley.... bit of a knockabout for the day

3 wickets for Trev. He took a fair few in Zim as well. Coming into form just as we sign a spinner, so he'll have to bat well to make the side now

Yes and he should get the chance to do so. Apparently Borthwick sustained a badly broken finger yesterday and could be out for a while.

oh, right. Perhaps that's why he was down to open and then didn't. That might solve the Clark/Bushnell conundrum long enough for them both to play and try and nail down a spot in the batting line up.

Hard to believe we actually have options in the batting dept

Will Leesy skipper the side at Hove?

I'm still at a loss as to who L S Robinson is

Plays at Philadelphia
son of Stephen Robinson and nephew of the late glenn Robinson
bowls quite sharp and can bat people may recall he took 6 wickets in one over as a junior was in national press.

does vaguely ring a bell

I wonder why he doesn't warrant a mention in either the senior squad or the academy squad.

on this topic, the BBC still have Jack Burnham as a member of our squad

and it isn't a case of the squad not being updated for a while because it has all the new signings in and the likes of Rushy and Dicko are absent
