By Brian Sanderson,
After a busy three days I had chance to watch cricket without been interrupted.The match could go all three ways.
The first day there was a tribute to Brian Close.
Yorkshire were nine wickets down at the start of the day and decided to reduce the overs of the day down to 92 when Bresnan decided to give a easy catch and Yorkshire setting a target of 308.After 19.2 overs of Yorkshire bowling Sussex were 61 for 5 so effectively losing the match.
There was a stand between Yardy and Brown of 81 which held up Yorkshire victory. When Yardy was out the Yorkshire players went over to shake his hand as it was his final Championship innings. This was a nice touch. In the next 16 overs Yorkshire won the match by 100 runs.
Sussex had just to draw the match to stop in the first division but could only bat out 58 overs which sums up the state of County cricket.
Yorkshire then brought out the Championship Cup for the third match running.Must have lost a lot of champagne.
On the scoreboard there was a nice image of Yorkshire winning a double Championship since 1968.
In the evening while having a pint of beer I was able to see Leeds Rugby League sneak a win to win the Rugby League Championship.
On Saturday I read about Yorkshire winning and there was a photograph of Surrey winning the Second Division Championship but not photograph of Yorkshire. Poor by the Telegraph.
Now Arthington cricket today in the sunshine.
