FIFTH CENTURY IN FIVE DAYS

By Brian Sanderson,

Back to Todmorden to see the first day of the Yorkshire Seconds three  day  match against Lancashire.Andrew from London was up to see the match and there was a delay till 11.30 because of small drizzle on the ground.The photograph shows that the mill that  has been knocked down since last year.


Yorkshire batted first and soon were 4 for 37 and it was left to Robinson and Hodgson to put together a stand of 61.Hodgson scored 53 and Robinson32 to bring Yorkshire total to 152.There was help extras who next top scored at 26.The wickets were sprend between Bailey,Clark and Croft.

The photograph is of Lancashire comimg off the ground after bowling Yorkshire out for a poor total.
The photograph below is Yorshire getting ready to bowl and the Todmorden groundsmen in blue jumpers coming off the ground.

Lancashire openers soon start to attack the bowling  but lost wickets They reached 82 for 4 in 15 overs and then Livingstone from Barrow,see yesterdays blog started taking the attack apart.He scored 101 in 113 balls with 11 fours and 4 sixes which just missed the cars.He was caught out on the boundary edge by a brillant catch by Coad.Lancashire went on to score 252 for 7 by the close and we went for a Chinese meal.

I have now seen a century in the last five matches  in the last five days.
