After the fine victory against Durham ,Yorkshire supporters were looking forward to the Derbyshire Championship match.It started to rain about 9.30 at Headingley this morning which caused the match to be delayed by forty-five minutes.This gave be a chance to talk to Paul Dyson who helps to put the statistics for every Championship match at Headingley and this was the 500th.Also there for the morning session was Tony Hutton who had been up to Weetwood for the 20/20 University matches. The cold wind was blowing from the North.
The Derby Team consisted of :
Billy Godleman from Islington who was soon out when Derby were put into bat.
Chesney Francis Hughes from Anguilla West Indies who scored his highest Championship score of 171 not out beating last season 167. This is the highest score by a Derbyshire player at Headingley.The highest scorer for Derbyshire against Yorkshire was John Dreman Eggar born in North-West Frontier Province in India, he scored 219 at Park Avenue Bradford in 1949.They also scored their highest score in Yorkshire of 491 in that match.
Wayne Madsen from Durban South Africa who I first saw at Darlington in a Second Team match in 2009.
To-day he was involved in a second innings partnership of 258 which is the highest second wicket partnership by Derby at Headingley.
Shivarine Chanderpaul from Guyana and 146 test matches for West Indies however he soon was a wicket for Rashid.
Wesley Durston from Taunton who did not last long to-day.
David Redfern from Shrewsbury who is not out over night.
The total overnight is 302 for 4 and a vital first session to-morrow.
I must mention that I saw Brian Cobb for the first time this season who said some nice things about the blog.
