end if anyone should show himself capable of taking advan- tage of the limitations of the Yorkshire bowling and the excel- leace of the pitch, eventually reached his 50 by hitting Har- greaves round to long leg for 4" and cutting the next ball down to third man for 2. Immediately after- wards he tried to book a rising ball from Hargreaves, but did not quite get hold of it, and Mitchell, at long leg."took a catch that was almost too easy for him.
