Friday ,last day.Went shopping before the cricket and it rained. However the match started on time.There must have been about two hundred spectators.I watch the match from the Rugby stand ,it is out of any sun but keeps you dry when it rains.Andrew and myself were joined by Andy from York.
Durhams opening pair was Blackwell and Stokes as Di Venuto had a strained side.The first wicket to go was Blackwell bowled by Best who charged towards the Western Terrace shouting however there were no spectators there only the people who were cleaning the seats.
We were joined by Gerry who is a Middlesex supporter.He had been down to Lords to watch Middlesex v Gloucestershire match.Middlesex had just lost the match and it was there worst start to a season in 140 years.Gemaal Hussain took five for forty-six.
Best took two other wickets and Patterson one. By lunch they were 326 for 8.
After lunch in the first over Best bowled Rushworth to finish the innings.
Durham followed on with Bortwick and Coetzer and were in no trouble.
Rain arrived to finish the match as a draw Yorkshire picking up 9 points and Durham 6 points.
Yorkshire were still top of the table.Went home with Andrew to watch Ted Lester Story on D.V.D.This is one of The Yorkshire,s Cricketing Legends series with Stephen Chalke.Worth watching.Stephen Chalke is my favorite cricket author.
