First Two days at Headingley

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

I had a telephone call from David Allen, Chairman of the Archive Committee, to say relatives of Horace Fisher was coming to Headingley on Tuesday. They were bring some more pictures of Horice and be photographed with the exsisting memorabillia.

I eventually watched some cricket in the afternoon when Yorkshire were six wickets down.Bairstow was batting well before Sidebottom bowled him.Sidebottom looked the best bowler and Yorkshire finished on one hundred and seventy -eight.

Hales was soon out with a bad shoot and Woods started scoring.It looked to easy for Nottingham.AT the end of the first day Patel and Hussey were batting with prospects of a big score.

On Wednesday it was raining in the morning which give me chance to take stock of the new memorabillia with Bob Appleyard looking on and talking about cricket. Excellent morning without the cricket.

After lunch Patel and Hussey took the Yorkshire attack apart.Yorkshire had two chaces to take wickets but failed. Shahzad dropped a catch and Wainwright missed a run out chance.Patel was finally out for 96 caught by Rudolph of Rashid.However Hussey went on to 222. This is the highest score by a Nottingham player ever and the total of 497 for 6 is the highest total by Nottingham against Yorkshire in this county.

I think Nottingham will bat on.
