Third Chapter

Posted by Brian Sanderson.

Woke up to a cloundy day.Yesterday was a Yorkshire record day so I required so signature on the scorecard.
Record first innings partnership against Durham by Lyth and Sayers.
Record third wicket stand against Durham by Rudolph and McGrath.
First Championship match for Best.
Third highest total at Headingley by Yorkshire.
Obtained all five signatures.
Di Venuto who has a Italian passport and Blenkenstein from South Africa opened the innings.They progressed to 156 for 3 by lunch in no difficulty as Yorkshire bowling was nothing special.
After lunch Blenkenstein was brillently stumped by Bairstow of Wainwright better ball.
However the rain came when Durham were 215 for 4.
Andrew went to his room in the hotel on the ground to read his 1930 Wisden he purchased from William Roberts.William sells cricket memorabilia in the Long Room and
is a focal point for discussion on the match and cricket.
Rain still falling went home. The match will be a draw and has been from the first session.
