Yorkshire showing off on last day

767 for 7 . Trying for 1000 ?

Now declared with their second highest run total on record for a first team game

https://www.espncricinfo.com/records/team/team-highest-innings-totals/yorkshire-1515/first-class-matches-4


Which is just a little better than their lowest, a game that even Sir Geoff got a duck


https://www.espncricinfo.com/series/county-championship-1967-525195/yorkshire-vs-kent-525196/full-scorecard

Sir Geoff got a pair of ducks.
It looks as though that game was heavily rain affected too.

And in 1970 uncovered pitches as well

Nice to see the Yorkshire pair piling on the runs in the latest test match v Pakistan.

……and good to see a Yorkshireman becoming Englands all time top run scorer.

[Donnywolf]

And an ex Yorkshire player at the very top top top of the Charts

[tommy toes]

Brook and Root.
The highest scoring partnership in English cricket history.
And Brook now 300 and chssing Len Huttons record.
All 3 Yorkshiremen.

[drfchound]

Just waiting for the four Yorkshiremen sketch now.

[tommy toes]

People think the 4 yorkshireman sketch comes from the Pythons.
It was first shown on ‘At last the 1948 show’ in 1968. I think Tim Brook-Taylor and Willie Rushton were 2 of them, along with John Cleese.
By the way hound I am a massive Python fan, every time I see the ‘Spot the Braincell’ sketch I think of you.
(Just a joke so dont get your knickers in a twist)

I won’t, I actually like that comeback.
If you are a Python fan though I am very surprised that you kicked off big time after my “how much for the full argument” comment a couple of days ago.
I can remember a a young lad, listening to the four Yorkshiremen sketch on the radio, back in the sixties I think.
I can’t remember who the comedians doing it were though.

Just looked it up hound, It was written by
John Cleese
Tim Brooke-Taylor
Graham Chapman
Barry Cryer
Marty Feldman
All 5 of them performed it, first in 1967.
Barry Cryer was the waiter.
