Posted by Brian Sanderson,
After the Yorkshire match we moved on to Illingworth. Brian Senior had seen a Stratford side playing at Ilkley on Wednesday afternoon and found out they were playing at Illingworth Thursday. After great difficulty we arrived at the ground to find the Stratford side batting.They had reach150 with no wickets down and was a 45 over match.
A comment made my one of the bowlers asking the fielder to stop picking his nose and stop the ball. Another comment was that the bowler could only bowl the next over if he had no more than eight off his over.This would have ruled out Wainwright yesterday.
They reached over 250 runs.
Brian Senior and David Thorpe tucked into a excellent tea including a strawberry sponge cake.There was talk that Brian was booking in for Bed and Breakfast it was so good.
Illingworth batted poorly and had lost 8 wickets for just over 100 when it started to rain so we went home.
Better views from this ground than Headingley.
