By Brian Sanderson,
I had another visit to Scarborough to-day to watch England Lions against Sri Lanka A.
The weather was sunny to start with in the morning and joined up with Bob Proctor and his son.The pitch looked drier than than the last Yorkshire match.England had been bowled out for 299 and Sri Lanka were batting.
The opening bowling of Dernbach and Harrison was not impressive which was not helped by Kieswtter stumping.The best bowler was Meaker who I last saw at York where he had to be taken off bowling when he bowled two beamers in one over.His figures today were 11-5-27-1.
Yesterday afternoon two fifty year old men striked across the ground before being taken away by the police.I understand it was not a pretty sight.
After lunch the weather was cloundy and Borthwick bowled his leg-spin very badly.The Sri Lankians hit two big sixes with one going through a open window in the pavilion.
A good sight was a wheelchair that was pushed behind the bowlers arm as he was bowling.Never seen that before.
After tea thunder could be heard in the distance and England took the new ball. This produced 5 wickets falling in 33 runs and the rain came down.Sri Lanka were 329 for8.
During the match I saw PaulDyson,David Allan and Howard Clayton who are all in the Cricket Archive Committee.A poor drive home on the A64 again.
