LEHMANN SAVAGES NOTTS AS YORKSHIRE REACH 352 FOR SIX
Darren Lehmann celebrated Yorkshire winning the CricInfo Championship by tearing up the record books in Yorkshire Phoenix's match against Nottinghamshire Outlaws in Division One of the Norwich Union League at Scarborough today.
The festival crowd of over 6 000 roared with delight as the Australian left-hander power his way to a blistering 191, the highest one-day score ever made by a Yorkshire batsman.
Lehmann's blistering assault brought him 11 sixes and 24 fours and his avalanche of runs came off only 103 balls. His innings lasted 116 minutes - and that included an eight minute hold-up in play while an ambulance drove on to the field to pick up a spectator who had been taken ill.
Lehmann's epic innings was the highest by a Yorkshire batsman in any one-day competition and Yorkshire's final of score 352 for six after being put in to bat was their biggest in limited overs cricket.
The fireworks started when Lehmann joined Anthony McGrath with Yorkshire on 52 for two and the pair thrashed 172 in 22 overs for the third wicket before McGrath was out for 38.
Then Lehmann battered 62 out of 80 in only seven overs with Craig White and the carnage ended when he went for another might blow off Kevin Pietersen and was caught at long on by Gareth Clough.
