By Brian Sanderson,
Wednesday in Headingley was covered in snow until about 1.30 P.M and the ground had been covered with snow,
Woke up this morning with the sunshining through the window. After a call from Sheffield to see if the match would start on time, I walked to the ground.It is always special is the first day of the Championship and a chance to see old friends.Talk is about what had happen during the winter and prospects for the coming summer.
I meet Brian Workman and his son for their first day as Yorkshire members. Brian has recently retired and was looking forward to watching Rob Key batting, Kent won the toss and batted so Brian had his wish. We sat in the sunshine to watch Key and Newman batted until lunch-time.Yorkshire bowling did not look threating.
After lunch I sat awhile with John Winn discussing the coming fixtures. As I moved seats Sidebottom bowled Newman so the trick worked.Key progressed easily until he reached 97 before trying a risky single and was run out. Brian had to take his son to cricket practice so missed Rashid wicket just before tea.
The sun was still shining and joined Brian Senior in the Trueman enclosure and delivered Peter Mann birthday card to him. Watched two more wickets fall and walked home for dinner.
Weather forecast is cloudy with a chance of rain so Yorkshire cricket prospects for this match is also dull.We shall see.
