WEATHER FORECAST FINE

By Brian Sandrson,

Set off this morning with the prospect of good days cricket which had three results.
Even the Yorkshire steward was talking about it.

The four Leeds and Bradford wickets fall quite quickly due mainly to Rafiq who took two wickets.Root was out l.bw in the first over with the ball keeping low.Still the match was set up to good match.

After lunch I sat with David Thorp in brillant sunshine. Sayers and McGrath were batting well.Leeds and Bradford bowlers bowled tight and Mc Grath was out again for l.b.w.Gale came into bat and then the hail came down causing a early tea.However it carried on raining and the groundsmen brought on the covers.Disappointment the match was called a draw.Fustrated by the rain which was not expected.

Talk in the Long Room turned to matches next week and Yorkshire selection.You please think McGrath will play against Essex with Jacques coming in after his wedding.
