On a warm Tuesday morning I had a trip to the first day of Yorkshire Seconds and M.C.C. Young Crickerters.The most vital object of the day was to find soms shade under the trees.The first person I met was Ismail Dawood who was one of the umpires in the match. I have know n hiim for a number of years as a umpire and a player.Next arrive was Brian Workman who was watching his first second team match.
The M.C.C side had a number of interesting players :
William Root who is the brother of Joe.
Liam Gough who is the son of Darren ex Yorkshire and England
Andrew Clark brother of Jordan Lancashire.
Jamie Hoddle son Glen England Manager.
Stuart Poynter brother of A.D Middlesesx.
MC.C batted first with William Root scoring 45 in a opening stand of 66.At lunch-time I was sitting next to a spectator who was scoring the match.He found that two runs was missed off the total and the Yorkshire scorer Howard Clayton agreed with him so the score was altered.
Yorkshire used ten bowlers on the very warm day and they were captained by Steve Pattinson who was recovering from a broken toe.By six o,.clock Yorkshire bowled out M.C.C for 298 in 89.3 overs.The highlight after tea was a studding catch by Robinson at second slip to remove Hampton off the bowling of Rhodes. It was hard work for Yorkshire and they came off the pitch tired out.
At this time I decided to go home and try and beat the York traffic.
