To-day was a rush around to go to Barnsley for a one-day match between Yorkshire Seconds and Nottingham.There was a road crash on the M1 so I did not arrive until five overs had been bowled.It started at 12.00 and numerous people plus myself thought it started at 11.00.
The first person I saw was Malcolm who a stressful week looking after two youngsters and the joined by Tony Hutton. Yorkshire opened with Phil Jaques ,proving his fitness after his rib injury and Callis who scored a big score on Saturday.They put together a stand of 99 when Callis was out for 44.Jaques went on to score 105 with 13 fours in 97 balls so he should be fit enough for Trent Bridge on Wednesday.
During the break we meet up with Peter France who was in the clubhouse.When Nottingham started to bat they were reduced to 89 for 7 in 22 overs.The thoughts of the spectators turned to early finish but Brett Hutton and George Bacon had other ideas.They put on a stand of 133 mainly taking runs of Pyrah ,Leaning and Robinson.Hutton was first out for 64 and Bacon scored 58.
Nottingham still lost the match and are top of the table.Yorkshire have to beat Lancashire to-morrow at Todmorden to get through to the final .
