NETS FOR YORKSHIRE

By Brian Sanderson,

The forecast was sunshine but at lunch-time clouds arrived and Nigal Pullan decided to go for a coat.However no arrived so there was no need for tyres on the sheets as yesterday.

I must mention the P.C.W who were there was Peter France,Bob Proctor and John Winn so there was plenty of comments of the play during the day.I brought some books to sign for the University coach who was Clive Radley. Clive was one of the Wisden Players of the year for 1978 and was born in 1944 which was another quiz question this afternoon.He his second Test innings he scored 158 in 11-hour vigil in New Zealand.

The University were two wickets down this morning and were soon all out 129.The best bowler was Hannon-Dalby taking 4 for 21.I thought Iwould not write this year however he had taken wickets last week-end.Also should say McGrath took 2 for 10 in his overs. You must feel sorry for Gibson and Ross not bowling.

The sun shone during the afternoon and watched a net from McGrath who scored 78 with Yorkshire finishing on 208 for 7 which gave them a 385 lead.Mac Queen, the Leeds and Bradford University spinner took 4 wickets  for 108. Peter France said he had played two matches for Paddock this season and hopes to play next season. He should be a good player for them.

Overall there was a slow overate and Yorkshire took do chances so it was good job  there was good company and sunshine.To-morrow Yorkshire should win easily  so York club will be happy it will go into the third day.Welcome to the Swedish who visited this site and Ihope you enjoy it.
