YORKSHIRE DAY DEFEAT


By Brian Sanderson,

Today;s fifty over match started 2 P.M. at  Headingley between Yorkshire and Warwickshire.. This enabled me to do some gardening , shopping and have my dinner before walking up to the ground. There was a slight rain delay when Warwickshire came out to bat. There was a decent crowd with Yorkshire top of the league but had a bad loss yesterday at Durham.

The first shock was that Bresnan was not playing as he was Yorkshire top run scorer in this competition.Warwick started at  a slow rate and were 92 for 3 after 23 overs.

The Warwickshire innings was dominated by Jonathan Trott who scored his 19 th career List A century. He was involved in two fifty stands with Bell and Ambrose. Their innings was given a lift by  scoring 104 off the last ten overs.They finished on 283 for 6.

This total was always too much for a weak Yorkshire batting side. They needed a good start but were 79 for 4. One bright spot of the innings was Travis Head innings of 53.However Yorkshire could  were only manage to get 167 and  were bowled out in 37 overs . Poor show.

The best Warwickshire bowler was Javid who's figure are above.Yorkshire needed 189 to have a home quarter-final  but they failed badly.So they are away in the quarter-finals so more loss revenues.

Yorkshire will have to improve on Thursday when they play Warwickshire again in the Championship at Headingley.
