ANOTHER DEFEAT AT HEADINGLEY

By Brian Sanderson,

It is always good to walk to Headingley when the sun is shining and a  50 over match against Glouchestershire.It was a 10.30 start which was unusual  and I found out Yorkshire won the toss and were batting.

Alex Lees and Adam Lyth fell early to bring Yorkshire 45 for 2 and then three qiuck wicets fell.This left Jack Leaning and Adil Rashid to try and build a good total. As you will see above Rashid was caught on the boundary after scoring 71.Next was comedy ten minutes with two run outs of Bresnan and Ric Pyrah.It was a long time since I seen  a batsman take so long to go to the dressing room.Next Leaning was stumpes off a wide racing down the wicket. Brooks was soon out leaving Yorkshire all out in 42 overs for 192.It is basic cricket to  bat out your overs but Yorkshire were not good enough to do it.

I was walking out of the gates at 1.15 when the annoucncer  stated that Glouchestershire would start  their inning in10 minutes and lunch would be 2.00 P.M. which seem daft. However Yorkshire took two wickets for 34 when I went home for lunch.Michael Klinger, born in Australia and the Glouchestershire captain reached 37 . The score came 83 for 6 and Yorkshire were in with a chance. However William Gidman  and Jack Taylor  helped with a stand of 69. Gidman scored 71 not out in 89 balls to win the match by 3 wickets.

Poor cricket by Yorkshire so I will see tomorrow how the Yorkshire under 19 go at Sleaford.
