SCARBOROUGH IN THE SUN




By Brian Sanderson,

After hearing Tuesday cricket at Scarborough was off due to a wet outfield, I emailed Tony Hutton in Scarborough who confirmed that the Wednesday cricket would be on.So After picking up Bob Procter we set off up the A64. In spite off  two tractors we arrived at the ground in about one hour twenty minutes.

Worcester batted first which gave me a chance again to see Rhodes bat for Worcester after seeing him at Marske on Monday.Again he did not disappoint and scored a excellent fifty. Photograph above of him coming off the field.

Yorkshire best bowler at this stage was James Wainman who bowls left arm quick.Up to lunch time he took the three wickets that fell and he another dropped.

So at lunch time Worcester were 105 for 3 .There was a excellent over rate by Yorkshire due to Azeem Rafiq with his off spinners.

The afternoon session was dominated by Alex Hepburn,nickname Audrey.He was born in Perth Australia and is 20 years old and looks a good prospect. I first saw him at Darlington last year were he scored 112.
Today he scored 121 with 17 fours and two 6's . Just before lunch Rafiq was certain he was caught behind by Reed but Paul Pollard turn him down . It was Hepworth lucky day as he confirmed to Rafiq he did hit the ball.
 

So at tea time the score was 250 for 5. Thirty minutes we left the ground to head back on the A64. Looking at total scorer Worcester went on to score 373 and Yorkshire were 20 for 1 with Ryan Gibson scoring all the runs.

Two days off watching cricket and then back to Hull were I was last Saturday.
