FULL CAR

Posted by Brian Sanderson,

To-day I had a extra passenger to Stanford Bridge that was Audrey Woodhouse who wanted some rest from the Grand -children.The weather was more cloudy to-day however we sat in the same spot just near the sight-screen.We were joined by Tony Hutton back from his trip to the Dales yesterday to see the M.C.C against Nidderdale League.

Surrey carried on batting with Harinath and Ansari.Harinath was first to go with a good out swinger by Hannon-Dalby caught by the keeper.Next was Ansari playing a poor shot to Wainwright who bowled him.They continued to lose wickets until in the afternoon Surrey decided to declare at 253. The Yorkshire had been steady but not out standing. Their fielding was better than Surrey.

Root and Ballance started to take the attack to Surrey at six an over.Until Ballance got caught behind off Lindley.Root carried on confidently until O,Shea bowled a bad ball and Root put into the hands of the fielder.

At the end of the day Yorkshire were about 280 in front with eight wickets in hand. They should bat for another hour in the morning and set a target.

We did manage to get a scorecard with the correct Surrey names but only included 12 names not 13.The day was good net practice for both sides.
