FREEZING SECOND DAY AT HEADINGLY.

By Brian Sanderson,

Looking at to-day,s Daily Telegraph under Andrew Collomosse report on Yorkshire first day.It stated that the lowest score by Yorkshire was 111 but this was only at Headingley.In the match Albert Walter Hilton took 7 for 47 bowling his left-arm medium pacers.He only played four seasons for Sussex which the Yorkshire  match was his first-class career best. After he left Sussex he played two seasons in the Lancashire League at Burnley.The photograph above is of Burnleys ground at Turf Moor next to the football ground. However the lowest score by Yorkshire against Sussex  in Yorkshire was 61 at Dewsbury in 1891 and 42 at Hove in 1922.

To-day weather was freezing so I decided to watch the match in the Long Room behind glass. The batting highlight of the day was the partnership between Ed Joyce and Ben Brown both scoring over 90 runs.After lunch Brooks took four wickets to boost his confidence.Sussex been bowled out for 356 and Yorkshire hoping that the weather helps them.Lees was out before the umpires took them off when the rain started to fall. Good to see John Winn back from his break in the Lake District.

Yorkshire Academy are playing Barnard Castle School on Sunday if you want a ride out with the weather forecast sunny.
