BUSY CRICKET ACADEMIA IN LEEDS

By Brian Sanderson,

It was the third day of the Second team Roses match with the match in the balance.The main Lancashire batter was Stephen Parry who  was England spinner in the 20/20 compertition a few months ago.He was facing Tim Bresnan who had been involved in the Ashes.

Looking at the scoreboard this morning we noticed they had not changed the overs from last night.

So it shown that there was only 7 overs to go in the day at 11.44. A slight error.As you will

see the scoreboard shown another error when Lilley wicket was credited to Robinson but Bresnan was bowling.Bresnan bowled well and he looked fully fit.All through the morning the score from Lords was  relayed round and Yorkshire first were going to lose. Just before dinnertime Lancashire were bowled out.

The Yorkshire bowling figures still not show Bresnan last wicket and also Ashraf too the last wicket not Coad.Lancashire finished on 163.

Another error on the scoreboard after lunch shown the over remaining as 51.4 which was in correct.However Tattersall grated his way to a fifty which helped Yorkshire win the match. A good match with the pitch being bowler friendly helped to move the match on.

As you will see from the photograph Yorkshire won at 3,33 while the first team had lost at Middlesesx with the best bowling attack in the first division.

Moving on to the next match at Kirkstall Educational ground about ten minutes walk away from Headingley.The match there was Leeds Met against Durham Second team.Leeds @ Bradford University were playing Durham University at Weetwood.Leeds University were playing at New Rover  and the final school matcH was Leeds Grammar School  against M.C.C..

As you can see Durham were batting and struggling against Leeds Met. Dinner called so I left this match.

Weather forecast is poor to-morrow so Leeds @Bradford two day match may struggle to start at Weetwood.However weather forecast have been wrong before,
