GOOD DAY FOR YORKSHIRE

By Brian Sanderson,

Myself, Ron Stansfield and Brian Workman had a trip to Trent Bridge to see the second day of the Nottingham v Yorkshire.  Yorkshire wetre batting with Bairstow, back from the Test Squad and Patterson.
The forecast was sunny and so Brian Workman did not bring a coat.

Yorkshire batted well to bring the score up to 407 so gaining 4 batting points.Nottingham were soon in trouble by losing three wickets before lunch.At lunch-time I met Tony Hutton in the cafe were we both had a good lunch.

After lunch Nottingham still were losing wickets when the rain came so we went to the Nottingham library.I could spend numerous hours in the room which Peter Wynne-Thomas  as does.There were some nice pictures of old Yorkshire players which I was able to photograph.
Above is a excellent image of Percy Holmes.

Tea was taken early and the rain stopped so were able to watch Adams make some lusty blows.Nottingham finishing on 150.

Nottingham were asked to follow on and again wicket fell.As we left 4 wickets had fallen for 102.

Well done Patterson who took five wickets in the first innings and scored 40.Trent Bridge is the best county ground  apart from Lords.Good facilities and very friendly people.
