I think this is worth a thread of its own. There is a match on at Weetwood versus Somerset 2nds who include Archie Vaughan and Jack Leach. Luxton, Wharton, Duke, Bess, Edwards and Leech are playing. Updated scores and reports can be found on the Somerset CCC website but not on ours.

I'd forgotten about this one as play was abandoned on day 1, it's been a very wet day here in Scarborough today as well, but obviously not in Leeds.
350/9d from Yorkshire, ducks for Luxton and Vagadia but runs from Wharton, Duke and Noah Kelly. Somerset 50/1 at stumps so they haven't been hanging around today.
NVplay is the best place to keep up with things, you can also watch the boundaries, wickets and significant landmarks.

It's actually at Headingley, good day's play, 1st of 3 (or 2nd of 4, no play Monday). Luxton 0 and Vagadia 0 out early, then an excellent partnership between Wharton and Duke, plenty of commanding strokes against an attack far better than Lancs' last week, though they both missed out on centuries. Left arm quick Ogborne looked useful.
We lost our way a bit in the afternoon against the spinners. Somerset used 8 bowlers, which didn't include Jack Leach, who later opened the batting after having a bowl on the outfield during tea. Kelly again impressed with 70 not out, and the middle order all got twenties.
Archie Vaughan opened the batting with Leach and looked very good. Ben Cliff was quite impressive with the new ball, but bad light meant we had to use spinners, and young Will Bennison picked up the England Headingley Hero scalp. A really enjoyable day's cricket.

I popped in today at Headingley for this mornings play only and after getting settled in NE Upper , promptly got moved downstairs by security - they were concerned that if I was ill 'up there' they didn't have enough staff to make sure I'd be safe .Fair enough
Started on time with wicket well over to west away from where we were sat but hey ho live cricket with a proper ball. Yorks won the toss chose to bat and in short time were two wickets down Luxton bowled off the 6th ball for a duck and Vagadia Caught by wicketkeeper Rew , also for nought (This is the younger of the two Rew brothers at Somerset, spoke to his mum before the game, apparently he's abetter batter then his older brother, she's naturally proud of them both)
Wharton and Duke were together by this time an both batted pretty forcefully and without too much trouble Wharton was hitting it very hard and mostly along the ground. Duke his usual very positive attacking self and good running between these two. Wharton eventually out bowled by Roberts for 96 (off 124) and Duke lbw to green for 87 (off 129). Good score by Kelly , 71 not out and other notable scores Bess 27, Bennison 26 and Leech 23 Yorkshire declared 350-9
England bowler MJ Leach was in the Somerset team, fielded and threw right-handed but I didn't see him bowl and scorecard indicates he didn't . Ogborne pick of their bowlers took 4 wickets (incl Luxton) and with 1 wicket each for Thomas, Green, Umeed, Roberts and Vaughan .
Dave Morton arrived before lunch and brought really good weather with him . That's some camera and telephoto lens Dave, thanks too for 'Sweet Shires'- as you suggested I started reading this while waiting for my pm appointment. 10/10
I wasn't there for the Somerset innings which totalled 50 - 1 after 12 overs. They opened with Vaughan ( 17 not out ) and MJ Leach!! bowled by Bennison for 24 . Micky Edwards, Dom Bess and BM Cliff the other bowlers
Overall a good performance from Yorkshire , good wicket and good weather (and a decent ball)
Sorry if this is a bit wordy and perhaps out of order.
Edit :Isn't that like buses , you wait for one and two come along practically together!!!!!!!
I won't be able to get to Headingley any more this week and I think 2nds are at BPA next week, will try to get for at least one day

For clarity: York 2nds are at Bradford Park Avenue 22nd - 25th April v Leicester 2nds (22nd overlaps final day of Yorkshire 1st's v Middlesex in London from this Friday) - I haven't heard anything about transferring the Leicester game to Headingley.
Mind you when I attended the York 2nds v Lancs 2nds last week at Headingley, and spoke to a Lancs supporter he said their ie the lancs website still had the venue as BPA rather the switch to Headingley!!

Jack Leach does, of course, throw right handed, which is weird. Gurman Randhawa, once of Yorkshire, was the same, a left-arm spinner who threw with his right, and I once taught a kid called Bryn Knowles who was exactly the same. A small left-arm spinner, good enough to play for Manchester Schools, with an absolute rocket right arm. Very fast rugby winger, too.
I don't know any reverse case, a right-arm bowler who throws left, as a preference.
Andy Umeed, playing for Somerset, played for Yorks 2s at Richmond, two seasons ago, was it? Or last season? He seems to spend his life having trials with f-c Counties, but never quite makes it.
Bess did bowl to Leach today.
Thomas Rew, only 16, had quite a rough time keeping to the spinners. A lot of gazunder balls on this pitch; no air in the ball? I look forward to seeing him bat tomorrow. I'll have a quiet bet that Vaughan gets a hundred. The number 3 Leonard looked very good and powerful too. If he was a nightwatchman, he didn't look like one.

Sunshine and possible showers today. Bright enough anyway to bowl Leech, Cliff and Edwards while the ball is still reasonably new.
I'd really like to see at least one of these three pushing for a place in the first XI.

One the right/left question...my (now former, as 46 is too old to keep fielding for 52 overs on your day off!) club once fielded not one but two players who could bowl with both arms. One was a proper 3rd XI player, but the other continues to take 30-40 wickets in the Firsts every year, and regularly switches hands mid over.

Sometimes it is a joy to sit and watch cricket. Yesterday was such a day, pleasantly warm (for the time of year), and some young talent to enjoy.
Today? Forget it. Freezing cold, with a biting wind, and Yorkshire bowlers who couldn't knock the skin off a rice pudding, on that surface. Bess apart, we never looked like taking a wicket. Hardly an appeal - and there was little chance of any umpire taking a hand out of his pocket - hardly a ball beat the bat -
I stuck it out until just after 3 pm.

2nds in action tomorrow at Bradford Park Avenue in a 3 day friendly against SACA.
Useful if SACA turned up with a young demon left arm fast bowler from nowhere who we could borrow for next week.
