BACK TO THE STADIUM

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

After going shopping I wandered back to Headingley. A bit of a shock sceniclly after Sedbergh. Yorkshire seconds were playing Durham seconds in a fifty over match.

The weather was hot and sat in the Trueman section .Yorkshire won the toss and fielded. At first I thought they had made a mistake with Lee bowling two overs for twenty eight and Durham were ninety-nine for three.Then Wainwright bowled and the ball started to spin.Wickets started to fall with Randhawa bowling at the other end. Durham finished at 147 with Wainwright ten overs for twenty-five with four wickets.

After lunch Durham fielded with two players with Evans on their back with the real Evans not playing.Lewis, the Durham coach, had Breese shirt on his back just to it more complicated.Yorkshire started poorly with Root and Ballance out for twelve.Davies bowled very well.Hodgson was out for 48 and batted well. Yorkshire also struggled when the spinners came on to bowl.However Geldart reached his fifty and Yorkshire won the match by five wickets.

A good victory for Yorkshire but they will not be in the semi-finals.
