Dave M mentioned this but can’t locate it so here is a thread. 2 days gone in the match at Notts Sports Club. Big advantage Notts, leading by 241 runs with 9 second innings wickets in hand. I recognise 5 Notts names.
As DM said Loten made 62, Luke Fletcher 99 and Patterson/White 65. 4 wickets for Cliff, 2 for a young man called Rogers and 2 for 127 for Bess.
79 for the captain Will Luxton, 56 by the young keeper Thompson and 47 by the leggie Akhtar. Milnes batted but has not bowled.

Yorkshire seem to have a very young team, though five with 1st XI experience - Luxton and Wharton, Milnes playing as a batsman, Bess and Cliff - but most of the usual suspects are missing - Duke of course, Vagadia (possibly injured), Kelly and Leech. I have watched quite a bit of it, but the wobbly pictures make it hard work. Luxton was excellent, until getting his middle stump extracted, Thompson and little Akhtar both looked good. The pitch seemed to have more bounce than Headingley, but so does my Dormeo mattress. We have been set a million to win (575) and are 89 for two at close of day 3, with Luxton and Wharton out. James spectacularly bowled by Tom Loten, click on photo, and Will given lbw to LPW, somewhat controversially, I would suggest. Better to watch, partly because of very high picture quality, is the Academy game from Chester-le-Street. It's a 2-day friendly, in which a Yorkshire team almost entirely unknown to me scored 193 all out; Durham are 185 for five in reply, with a few lads I've seen before. The live coverage is on YouTube, but there's no scorecard on NV Play Cricket. Shame it's not in Yorkshire. I would have gone tomorrow, if within 50 miles or so. 130 miles is a bit too far for an Academy friendly! Attachments:

oh dear oh dear
this ought to be a record defeat
412 runs ………….
young men called Bennison and Light were the only ones who made any runs today.

I notice that Dom Bess seems to have been withdrawn and didn't bat!!!
Luke Fletcher and Liam Patterson White, two of the better known bowlers took the wickets. It is a big loss though.
