TRIP TO THE OVAL

By Brian Sanderson,

On Monday morning I took the train to London to see Yorkshire play Surrey with company of Brian Workman.There are too many Brians.

The above photograph is my first sight of the new Oval.I had been here for a 40 over match over ten years ago.

A nice temperature gauge just in the ground.

A new scoreboard next to the gasholder.It is not as good as the Headingley board.

Yorkshire going out on the first day to bat with a bowler short.

Spectators walking on the grass at lunch-time.Why can not Yorkshire allow it ?

Aproper pavilion which has  had two new floors added since Hutton scored his 364 in 1938.

Ballance coming off after been dismissed for 148.
