After having to walk away from Headingley on Wednesday morning as the match against the Leeds and Bradford University had been call off for a wet outfield.I was able to catch up on trying to sort out my cricket memorabilia.
This morning with the sun shining I went up to Weetwood to see the University play M.C.C in a forty over match.Arriving at 10.30 the sun was out I had chance to get some warmth from the sun however rain was forecast for the afternoon. Yorkshire ladies should have had a match but this was called off again for a wet outfield.
After a little huddle M.C.C bowled first and soon was chasing the ball round the field.Tom William Wallace Rich of Suffolk and captain for the day figures were 4-0-43-1.His wicket was Henry Thompson who had scored some runs against Yorkshire on Monday.It was left to Steven Bullen, of Somerset, Surrey and Wiltshire, to score 71 quickly against some weak bowling.
Then Logan Weston of Worcestershire and Cumberland, want on to score 75 not out in even time .This brought the score up to 231 for 4 in the forty overs.At this time the temperature had dropped to freezing and drops of rain was falling.
After going home and warming up M.C.C was batting with Simon Lambert ,of Warwickshire seconds and York was out to Moin Ashraf. He was released by Yorkshire and now with the University. Today he had good figures of 5-1-17-3.
At about 3.15 the rain arrived and most spectators were please to get back in
