The rain was falling again when I left home to go to the second day of the Yorkshire under 17 against Lancashire.When I arrived Jenny and Tony were sat the same spot as yesterday but the rain had stopped and the match started on time with Lancashire batting.Last night the total scorer website had Parkinson opening he batting however this was wrong. The two openers were Turner and Mc Gladdery. Arriving next was Peter France from Huddersfield were the rain was still falling when they left.Talk through the morning ranged from Huddersfield football in 1949 to Under 15 final at Copley last Friday.
Again the scoring was slow but the object of the day was for Lancashire to beat Yorkshire score of 224 and go to the final of the group.The interesting batsman was Tyler Mc Gladdery who plays for Nelson in the Leancashire League, previously he had played for Yorkshire under 15 as a left arm spin bowler.Today he batted 211 minutes to score 93 .There was a drinks break this afternoon and he knew he was seven runs short of his century but he was stumped of Donnelly.Tyler and Laker put on a highest stand of the match of 99 which proved to be the basis of Lancashire innings.
By tea time they were 3 runs short of Yorkshire total with four wickets in hand. So the session after tea was pointless until Lancashire declared on 300 for 8 and won the match. I thought Yorkshire best bowler was Morrison who bowled left arm spin and figures of 25-9-68-1.However it was Mc Clean who took 4 for 26.
Tomorrow is a one day match between the same sides.
