It hasn't really been in doubt all day but nonetheless when the maths make it official it's still a weight off.
Well done to the batters today especially Adam Lyth and James Wharton. I have to admit I've taken some time to come round to gaining confidence in Wharton's batting, but once he gets going he doesn't like to give it away and I think he makes an excellent no3.
Mop up the rest of the points tomorrow perhaps and have a go at them for 75 overs or so, they can always shake hands after tea to save energy and have a bit more time to celebrate.

Wharton is an odd one - he is a decent honest county player in a batting group made up of those either already world class (Root, Brook, Jonny), very close to it (Lyth, Masood) or with the potential to go on to it (Hill, Luxton, arguably Bean). He maximises what he has, similar to how Andrew Gale and then Jack Leaning did.

He maximises what he has, similar to how Andrew Gale and then Jack Leaning did. Wharton's success has been one of the many joys of an ever-improving season. I observed him closely today and he watches the ball. He is also big, he stands tall, he plays straight, and he concentrates. Okay, he's never going to send you in the ecstasies of a Lyth cover-drive, but his straight drive is pretty damn good.

And speaking of good things Yorkshire, may I recommend a very funny and moving drama on Channel 5? www.channel5.com/show/lad-a-yorkshire-storyIt may be necessary to create a (free) account. There's a scene in which the eponymous lad and his mum confront the bank manager who has evicted them. Pure gold.
