Date-stamped : 07 May96 - 22:14 Benson & Hedges Cup 1996 Yorkshire v Scotland Headingley 7 May 1996 ====> REPORT Yorkshire more or less follow the plot By Neville Scott at Headingley Yorks (270-7) bt Scotland (142) by 128 runs IT was not exactly Dennis Potter, but there were kinks in the Leeds tale if not, ultimately, any significant twists. Indeed Yorkshire had ensured emphatic victory even before Chris Silverwood, fast, full and fiery with the new ball, had taken four for 13 in his first 27 deliveries. Yorkshire immediately lost Martin Moxon to one which lifted as it came back and would have been 10 for two in the second over had Michael Vaughan not escaped at slip. David Byas went at the oth- er end to another ball which gained surprise bounce but Vaughan, playing with marked off-side fluency, reached 50 before driving at one which turned enough from left-armer Andy Tennant, making a fine B&H debut, to be spectacularly caught at extra cover. As Tennant and seamer George Reifer, supported well by keeper Alec Davies standing up, strangled the middle order with four wickets for 50 in 12 overs, Yorkshire fell to 170 for six in the 39th. That, for Scotland, was that. There was already enough movement and lift to make a much bigger target unthinkable. As it was, through a cultured Michael Be- van, with 75 off 84 balls, and Darren Gough`s splendidly coarse undefeated 48 from just 32, 83 runs came from the fi- nal seven, ransacked overs. If doubt lingered, Gold-Award winner Silverwood, on route to best figures in any competition, ended it with passion. Another of Yorkshire`s flock of youngsters, Anthony McGrath, had time for a wicket with his first ball in competitive cricket before Scotland folded. Twenty-one-year-old Slverwood`s success makes even more in- teresting - enviable to most other counties - Yorkshire`s future permutation of their abundant stock of seam. Alex Wharf was initially preferred this summer on the evidence of fine pre-season form and he has responded well, both with ball and, decisisively in the championship victory over Glamorgan, with bat. Silver was included in the Scotland squad as encouragement that he continues to remain in the new captian`s thoughts. This is not to mention Scottish-born Gavin Hamilton, who may opt to represent his country in the next ICC Trophy, or Academy ten- nagers Matthew Hoggard and Paul Hutchinson, waiting hopefully in the wings. Where this leaves Mark Robinson he will no doubt ponder. Source :: Electronic Telegraph (http.//www.telegraph.co.uk) Contributed by Shash (shs2@*.cwru.edu)
