Weather Forecast wrong again

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

Walked round to Headingley after see the weather forecast that it will rain from 11.00 o,clock. Obtain the signature on the scorecard of the three debuts,Lowe,Lees and Roebuck.Join Andrew on his last day at Headingley before he returns to London.

It was the final day of Yorkshire against India A.
Also sat with Andy and Richard in the Rugby Stand. The score at the start of the day was Yorkshire 20 for 2 chasing 473.Sayers and Roebuck were batting. Sayers batted for 123 minutes for 19 runs before being brilliant caught by Abdulla at point of Kulkarni.
At lunch Yorkshire were four wickets down all to Kulkarni.

After lunch Wainwright was soon out L.B.W and Hodgson came in.All the batsmen struggled with Best top scoring with 40 runs.The odds that he would have been Yorkshire top scorer in a first class match would have been high.

The match finished at 5.27 with Asfraf been out L.B.W. . The major wicket takers were Kulkarni with five for 31 and Abdulla with 4 for 42. The Yorkshire total was 219.Nobody stood out in the Yorkshire side to challenge to going into the first team.
I was disappointed to not see a more stronger side against a touring side.

It did not rain any time during the day so the forecaster was wrong.
