WHAT a difference a year makes.

YORKSHIRE enjoyed a morning to remember at Grace Road as five wickets for Ben Coad – and three for the returning Matty Fisher – saw them bowl out Leicestershire for a paltry 98.

“A CAPTAIN can do nothing for his side other than win the toss.”

THESE are troubled times at Grace Road, Leicester.

A RESULT that had seemed inevitable from the moment Leicestershire crashed to 15-7 in the opening hour of day one was confirmed in the final session of day three, when Yorkshire completed victory by an innings and 72 runs.

SHAN MASOOD could have played his final game for Yorkshire this season.

RATHER like the fact that Santa Claus doesn’t exist (unless you’re a five-year-old reading this article, in which case he does exist), it’s a poorly kept secret that Matthew Fisher is off to Surrey.

“THE best new-ball bowler in the country.”

OTTIS GIBSON has denied that he is motivated by a desire to throw Yorkshire’s decision to get rid of him back in their face by guiding the club to County Championship promotion.

THE wind whipped up the leaves and the litter on Cathedral Road and played with the trees in nearby Bute Park.
