THREE YORKSHIRE PLAYERS FOR SOUTH AFRICA

By Brian Sanderson,

Waking up early this morning I decided to watch two Test matches on Sky.

This first one was Bangladash against Pakistan in Dhaka.There had been a delay in the match due mist,Bangadash had lost early wickets to the only two fast bowlers.As soon as the fast bowlers finihed they had to bowl their spinners which enabled the batsman to come on top.It must years since Pakistan went into a match with only two fast bowlers.

Moving on to South Africa against Sri Lanka at Centurion.There were a few interesting incidents.There was a run out and the batsman have now have to run a stright line and not in the way of the ball.A new law says that a batsman can be given out for obstuction if he tries to stop the ball hitting the stumps.

Mathews was injured and he is not now allowed a runner .A intresting new law.During the innings a ball was exchanged however a wrong type of ball was used.Boucher noticed the fact and the ball was changed for a correct one.Imran Tahir spun a ball over the head of the batsman and the umpire called one for the over.It must be a first for a leg-spinner to be called.Tahir got a wicket and he celebrated over the top.It would have nice if he could have got a wicket for Yorkshire.

One downside of the programme was music during replays.

Of course the three players were Rudolph,Morkel and Tahir.

The match was finished by 1.00P.M.While watch the Rugby Union the commenentator mention that Clermont Auvergne had a budget of twenty million pounds.Yorkshire would be pleased with that turnover.

The Christmas match at North Leeds is now 27 December not 26th.
