First Match

Posted by Brian Sanderson

Tuesday April 6 Headingley,

This morning I was returning back from a walk into Headingley when we called into the cricket pitch to see the condition . To our surprise there was a match on between Tuesday v Wednesday sides.These were a mixed sides of Yorkshire players. Mc Grath and Lyth were already out.Bowling was on top with the minmum pacers bowled all innings apart from one over before lunch by Wainright.Lyth batted twice and got two ducks. The innings finished at Tea break with 175 on the board.
The maximum crowd was eleven.I left at 5 o,clock with the Wednesday side 60 for 5 . Hodgson had bowled three overs with one wicket and twenty-five runs.
The weather was fine however there was a cold breeze which made it uncomfortable.
It is a two day match so look forward to-morrow and hope the temperature is higher.

It was like watching smokers v non-smokers match.
