I didn't see Bradley bowling live, mind you with my eyesight I'm no judge. He's only 16 and not sure which part of Yorkshire he plays his cricket. I might get down again for an hour but I've been tasked with loads of annoying little things to do today.
I hope Bennison gets his century, lovely partnership with Kelly who perished trying to push the game on. I'm sure there's a good reason why some of these games are 3 day and some 4 but I'd prefer some uniformity.

Some rain this morning, quite heavy at the moment so it might be quite a delay. Shame.

Tom Bradley is from Sheffield, he plays for Sheffield Collegiate, and went to the same school as Joe Root. A friend from Mirfield said that he bowled well for the 2nd xi in York last week, and he has done well again here. He is a big lad for his age. His Mum has been making a daily commute to Scarborough to watch him play!

Thanks, if his mum can come all the way from Sheffield I feel I can manage the 5 minutes to NMR. Early lunch, bit of drizzle still but hopeful it will clear up later to at least allow some play.

Yes pity, just been up to Whitby to watch the Tour of Britain go through and the rain seemed to follow us. Stopped now it's done the damage.
Tom Bradley, hopefully another name to watch out for. He took 3-24 in the first innings at York, though 0-60 in the 2nd, mind you Surrey scored 503-7 in 106 overs that innings.
He didn't bat in either game due to players coming in and out of the team. I suppose that kind of thing is necessary at that level though not ideal.
Two more 2nd XI 4 day games to come, but both away at Southport next week and then at Merchant Taylors.
Southport seems to do well for cricket.

Well done the Academy U-18's and their coach Tom Craddock on becoming 50 over champions. There are some names there, Kelly, Akhtar, Fraine, Bennison, Hen-Boison, Redshaw who seem to be stepping up. They won't all make it of course but I'm hopeful for a few. Just read that Redshaw found out a week or so before the final, when his century made a huge difference, that he is not to be taken on by the county. Making a point I guess.

2nds in action at Sunny Southport v the olde enemy. Yorkshire 110-3 at tea after a delayed start.
A couple of injured crocks for Yorkshire, Matt Milnes and Jafar Chohan are having a run out. George Lavelle and Jack Blatherwick are the names that stick out for Lancashire. 4 day game.

Sorry I've been busy and only just caught up with your post Newby for the Yorkshire 2nds v Durham 2nds at Scarborough . Your reference to the weather interested me: 'drizzle' subsequently referenced ( I think by SLA) to 'lemon drizzle cake in the tea room. I'm not sure if they were actually turned out for Durham 2nd's but players Raine and Drissel certainly would add an inclement flavour to proceedings 😃 (sorry)

Tea room not open for the 2nd's, at least not on a weekday. Decent bakery up the road but I wasn't tempted. You can 'get your coat' make that a raincoat, as far as the two precipitation linked players are concerned.
227/4 from 66 overs for the 2nds today. 4 x 40's so far I hope somebody (Akhtar and/or Thompson) can push on tomorrow.

In all the excitement we left the 2nd's dangling at not so sunny Southport where rain spoiled things in the final couple of days.
Jawad Akhtar top scored with 111 in Yorkshires total of 406. Matt Milnes was playing as a batter according to reports and managed 32.
Lancashire got to 210/4 and that's as far as it got, no play at all on the final 2 days.
2 wickets for Jafar Chohan, Matt Milnes did actually bowl 4 overs.
Just one game left in their season against Middlesex at Merchant Taylors school over 4 days from next Monday.

Good day for Yorkshire 2nds after losing 2 quick wickets at the start. A big 315 stand for the 4th wicket between Harry Duke (153 not out) and Jawad Akhtar (106). continuing his good form, took a big chunk of the day
Full days play 96 overs and Yorkshire ended up on 361/4. Yash Vagadia's 66 accounted for most of the other runs.
