FOUR SANDERSON,S AT A MATCH

By Brian Sanderson,

Yesterday I went with my wife to Stafford Bridge to see the third day of the Yorkshire Seconds match.Yorkshire had a player called Ben Sanderson and Derby had a player called Mark Sanderson.So it is a long while since four Sanderson.s watched a cricket match.

On Wednesday Antonio Palladino scored 136 in 85 balls to bring the Derby total to 429 giving them a 94 run s lend.Sayers and Rafiq had scored 74 in the evening.Rafiq did not bat in the morning as he was in the first team squad on Friday.

Sayers scored his 60 in 92 balls so was in better form than the first innings.Leaning was brought in to replace Rafiq and scored 44 good runs.The major batsman was Hodgson who scored 86 to save Yorkshire losing the match.Their total reached was 314. Derbyshire had only to face 5 overs but lost one wicket.

In the evening I went up to see Adel against Kirkstall in the Headingley T20 League.
Tony Hutton was already there and we were joined by Mick Bourne.Reg Parker was missing.Hope he is well.

Adel scored 126 in the twenty overs and there was another cold wind blowing.Kirkstall started well by scoring 63 in the first 10 overs. Then Adel took two wickets in two balls.This was the first wicket taken by Adel in 33 overs of this compertition. With the help of a South African overseas player Kirkstall won the match with two over to spare.

Tony was hoping the rain keeps off on Friday to enable him to carry on his record of 23 continuous days of cricket.
