On Sunday night I looked at the weather forecast. It said there would be 20% chance of rain.
Woke up to rain.The match of Yorkshire v Lougborough at Headingley did not start till 2.00 in the afternoon.
Lougborogh team included two interesting names.Charl Malan who is the brother of the Middlesex player.William Tavare who is the nephew of Chris ,the England player.
Yorkshire were giving their first class debuts to Joe Root,Moin Ashraf and Callum Geldart.
Yorkshire won the toss and batted on another cold day.Root and Ballance opened the batting.Root was soon out l.b.w. and Geldart came in.There were a couple of missed catches which was understandable in the cold.My 3.45 myself and Andy moved into the warmth of the Long Room.Brian and Tony had been to Weetwood for Leeds and Bradford v Warwickshire.
After tea I started chatting to a man who had just joined Yorkshire and it was his first day at Headingley.He had just moved to Leeds from North Yorkshire.Also he had just retired from work and had more time to watch cricket. He was brought up on Lords and Oval.Told him about the local cricket Leagues.
During this time Brophy and Pyrah both got their fifties.Brophy looks a class batsman at this level.The match finished at 6.25 with Yorkshire 218 for3.
