Same place .Different cricket

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

It had been raining overnight so it was cooler than yesterday. Me and Ron set off again to York to see the three day match against the same two sides as yesterday.When we arrived saw Tony Hutton. With him was John Rex and Harry Jackson from the Northern Cricket Society.Also with him was his brother who lives in York. He had been to Chesterfield yesterday to see Ramprakash get 99.

Yorkshire were batting with Joe Root and Gary Ballance. Gary was soon out caught by the wicket-keeper which brought in Calum Geldart.I was sat with Bob Procter who had come for the day.Andy arrived later as he had been working. Kept getting scores from Old Trafford and pleased when Yorkshire got to 400 and another bonus point.There was a strong breeze blowing which made it cool.Joe Root was batting well and both batsman were there at lunch.

After lunch Geldart was soon out bowled by Best. He bowled a long spell from the scoreboard end.Roebuck was soon out but Joe carried on batting.He was joined by his brother when he scored his century.A bit different from yesterday.

At tea Yorkshire were over 300 with Root and Hodgson batting well. Had to go at tea-time to play snooker. Later at night I found Joe had scored 169 with Yorkshire total 367 and Warkshire batting.

What a difference a day makes.Must be a cue for a song.
