Third and Fourth Days at Headingley

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

Nottingham carried on batting for 30 minutes to enable Hussey to get to 250. How this player has not played a test I do not know.Rudolph and Lyth opened the batting with Rudolph taking his time as a big innings was required by him.

I spent some time on completeing the listing of Horace Fisher,s items.Yorkshire were finding it easier to score in the second innings and Nottingham body language was not good.Rudolph was dropped at slip as soon as he had reached his hundred.He moved on to 141 just before the finish of the day and was out caught. This brought in Patterson with McGrath.

On Friday Mcgrath was out for 80 but he had reach a 1000 runs for the season. Wickets fell consistently but Patterson stopped there. After lunch he was out caught . Scoreing 26 of 116 balls in 146 minutes a valueable innigs for his side and shown what a good player he is.

Sidebottom upset the crowd by sliding to stop a four and the crowd thought he had touched the rope. This seemed to get Sidebottom going and got two quick wickets.Shahzad was out just before tea and the rain came. Yorkshire had scored 406 for 8 which was 39 runs in front.

I enjoyed the four day match which came to a exciting finish.Nottingham were now top of the league.
