field first. With Leach missing once more, Wilkinson and Kobinson opened the bowling. The bats­ men were soon in trouble, as time after time the bowlers beat the bat. With the Khino bowling a superb line and length, and the mer­ curial Kobinson swinging the ball wildly, runs were hard to come by for the home-side.


12 Despite not losing any wickets the bowling


remained as tight as


two coats of paint and Rathmell were restricted to just 40 runs off the first 16 overs. .


Crossland brought Taylor and Briggs into the attack to try and force a break­ through, and in the 20th over Taylor bowled Shepherd (28) to leave the home- side on 60 for one. Grindleton were bowHng and fielding better than they had all season and while the average age of the team is the wrong side of 40, they remain as keen and energetic as ever.

increase the tempo of the innings, but it was to no avail, as with 26 overs gone Crossland once again juggled his bowlers around, bringing himself and Middle- brough into the attack. This proved to be a shrewd move by the master tacti­ cian. First Metcalf was bowled by Mid- dlebrough, then a fine


catch by Taylor, off Crossland, saw Harri­


son making his way back to the pavilion. The bowlers were enjoying themselves making much use of a
