Rather humiliating though the worry would also be that, if we have provided a dodgy track, there might be a points deduction. Or, looking at it another way, we just can't bat!
And when you see that we have a batsman at 5 in the shape of Ben Harmison playing for us with a first-class average of under 25 it rather sums up our current on and off the field plight.
Can't believe what I've just witnessed, that is truly the most pathetic and cowardly performance I've seen from a cricket team in a long time, all just gave up due to the wicket being slightly tricky to play on.
Ill be amazed if a public apology isn't done. I didn't spend 100ish quid on a season ticket to witness the drubbing's we've had against northampton and now worcestershire, and the selection policy we currently have is such a joke, What's harmison done to merit a place in the starting team? Bell drummond scored 50 in his last championship outing then find's himself back in the 2nds!! Complete joke
It has been a week of mixed results – a great result in the Yorkshire Bank 40 competition was followed by huge disappointment in the LV= County Championship match against Worcestershire.
The squad head to Chelmsford this week, eager for victory, before moving on to Horsham on Sunday where they face Sussex Sharks, as they resume their Yorkshire Bank 40 campaign - hoping for their fourth win in the competition.

Chasing 111 for victory under the lights in Canterbury, Kent slumped to 45 for six as Worcestershire scented their second win.
