    The knives are out for Gale on the Yorkshire forum.To be honest the top order batting has been poor/ average for a couple of years and we have been bailed out by Bairstow, Bresnan, Hodd and the bowlers chipping in to get us to decent totals which the bowlers, who were firing then could get them ou t for less than we'd got.

    Now it's a perfect storm of ageing bowlers, (except Coad), the poor batting not being rescued, no one coming through who looks likely to stop the rot and injury after injury

    We will do well to avoid relegation and Moxon and Gale, with Gale the more likely, might be looking for alternatives.

    Not many would cope without Root, Bairstow and Ballance in the middle order but, to be fair, it has been cominga nd the management look culpable.

    Like we said Rod, it's so easy on the sidelines.

    His colleaugues said he should have been a golfer where he would have been totally in charge of his own destiny and fortune.- and he'd probably have made one at that too.

    His attitude hasn't changed much which is why he is such good value when he speaks but that wouldn't be ideal for a team sport and, a bit like eg Hoddle, he couldn't understand how thase with less ability found it so difficult.

    At least we've got to a hundred- 101-8
