It was a make your own rules up, play any number of fellas you like, bunfight. Declare your own result. I'm old school. I'm calling it a Yorkshire Winning Draw.

Yorkshire used 11 Bowlers in today's innings. I have to say, for great swathes of today it seemed very competitive. A good workout. For a lot of the day, Yorkshire were superbly disciplined.

Patto Patto’d it. 10 overs for 15 runs with 5 maidens. Will Rhodes Patto’d it. 9 overs for 14 runs with 4 maidens.

Carver & Leaning got some humpty. But, Carver got 20 overs under his belt. And, two confidence building wickets. Caught at Slip & a Stumping (as I recall).

I don't think Yorkshire got ill disciplined. Just that wickets proved hard to come by & the Lankies got after the slower bowlers.
We scored at 3.51 per over. But, we held them to 2.84. Although they lost some wickets to the slog. We took six. They took three.

I'm loving all that.
