HOW TO UPSET A YORKSHIRE COACH

By Brian Sanderson,

First I would like to congratulate Jonathen Bairstow on scoring his maiden century and going on to score over 200. The last person to do this feat was Major Booth in 1911 when he scored 210 against Worcester.

On Friday I decided to go to the third day of the Yorkshire Seconds against Nottingham Seconds at Barnsley.Notts had scored 481 with Patel and Wessels scoring centuries.Yorkshire had been bowled out on Thursday for 184 and were one wicket down when we arrived.

Tony Hutton and David Thorpe had just arrived before us.Geldart scored his maiden century.The only other two batsmen to score any runs was Lees and Hargreaves.The seconds are still looking for a new batting star.
especially in middle order.

On Thursday evening Moxon had upset the Umpires when he complained it was to dark to bat.During Friday afternoon Oldham was getting more upset as the afternoon went on.It seemed he was upset with Robson ,one of the Nottingham players, walking over the pitch between overs.He even went out at tea time to look at the damage. The two umpires were G.Lloyd and D.Koch.

Yorkshire were bowled out for 352 leaving Nottingham to score 56 in 8 overs to win the match.I t got increasing warmer as the day went on.
