On a sunny morning I set off with Brian Senior to Stamford Bridge to see the last day of the Yorkshire Seconds match.When we arrived the sky was was cloudy which made it better to watch cricket.
The situation of the match was the two teams were nearly all square and M.C.C were batting again with one wicket down.Yorkshire had to take wicket early so they could have enough time to win the match.The wicket of Gough soon fell to a good catch by Eddie Wilson.However Christopher Damien Piesley, ex Kent,
started to bat well which brough him 120 runs and was never in trouble until he took a swing at Leaning when they were chasing runs.None of the Yorkshire bowled well but there was a new spinner.This was Oliver Robinson ex Kent, who had bowled medium pace in the first innings.He bowled 16 overs taking two wicets for 66 runs.M.C.C declared a tea -time at 277 for 9 . This left Yorkshire to score 252 in 37 overs.
Lees was out first ball caught at slip of a spinner so not a good start as he was one of only three recognised batsmenWickets fell steadingly apart from Jack Leaning who went on to be last out for 66.The photograph above is of him batting with fielders round the bat.
Yorkshire were bowled out in just over 20 overs which was very poor.They should have been good enough to get a draw.There next match is on Tuesday against Glamorgan at Headingley.Things will have to improve inorder for them to win.
