On a cloudless morning I drove over to Harrogate to see the second day of the Yorkshire Seconds against Nottingham.The first job I did was to fill in the Nottingham names on the scorecard as Nottingham did not know who was playing when the scorecard was printed..Also the scorecard shown the starting time as 11o,clock but it should have been 10.30. Also all the timimgs were out by 30 minutes.
Settleing down to watch the match. Sam Wood who has played England under 19 played a excellent innings.
He was in no problem whilst I watched him and went on to score 114. The other batsman was Billy Root who is the brother of Joe of Yorkshire and England fame.He was out caught on the boundary edge of Wainman .He fell for the three card trick.
The above photograph is of Sam Wood coming off at lunchtime.
When I got back from visiting my sister Nottingham were progressing well against the spin bowling of two England under 19 players ie Carver and Tattersall.Just after tea Nottingham declared on 336 for 5 in one hundred overs.
After the tea interval I managed to photograph some photographs of the last County fixture on this ground in 1996. The photograph at the start of the blog is of the old pavilion. One of the coaches for Yorkshire was Anthony Mc Grath who scored a hundred in that match.
When I arrived total cricket scorer confirmed Yorkshire were 63 for 3 at the close of play. The pitch is very batsman friendly so we will see want happens tomorrow.
