Well Dan with regard to the quiz question the stat is probably somewhat distorted. As Yorkshire is the largest county in the UK there will be a requirement to use a number of "out grounds" in order to satisfy the membership and additionally to minimise the use of a test venue.
I believe in line with many counties they play a game or 2 at Scarborough…..
My sources tell me that it’s one win at Headingley in 3 years…..

It's the weather Dan that's stymied us, you know like your lot who play in a perpetual monsoon climate in Manchester otherwise you would have scooped dozens of County Championship titles like Yorkshire have of course.

Current weather in LEEDS…
No doubt it’s chucking it down in Headingley

And if the football wasn’t bad enough what the heck is going on with Lancashire …. 61 for 6 facing another humiliating defeat.

There is something seriously wrong at Lancashire.
It looks as though both my football team and my cricket team are getting relegated this year.

Disastrous lack of interest shown in the red ball setup this year. Very disappointed and yea I agree, relegation looks almost certain.

Yes the red ball game is marginalised and on the way out I am afraid. How will we produce another Jimmy Anderson? Meanwhile the Lancashire batsmen have gone missing!
