40 over triumph for Tykes
By Jane Cable August 12 2007
A top notch all round performance by Richard Pyrah has left Yorkshire placed fourth in division 2 of the Pro40 - perversely, just behind Middlesex on run rate. But then Middlesex have scrambled their four points from five games, when the other three top teams have played only two.
A top notch all round performance by Richard Pyrah has left Yorkshire placed fourth in division 2 of the Pro40 - perversely, just behind Middlesex on run rate. But then Middlesex have scrambled their four points from five games, when the other three top teams have played only two.
It seemed that Middlesex's total of 183 would be easy to overhaul.Only Ben Scott put up any real resistance, scoring 54 not out, but from the moment McGrath broke his partnership with Vaas with 147 on the board, the game looked in the bag.
After a healthy start from Yorkshire (White and Brophy making 49 each) the wheels came off when Murtagh took three wickets, and Rashid was run out, for only six extra runs on the board. It was left to Pyrah, supported by Wainwright, to reach the total with a ball to spare.
