LANCASHIRE v YORKSHIRE.
Lancashire's title aspirations came crashing down with an upset loss to Yorkshire in Round 8.
Yorkshire batted first and scored a competitive 235 with N.McKenzie(52), A.McGrath(52), G.Fellows(32) and R.Blakey(30) leading the way.
A.Flintoff(3/22) and G.Yates(4/40) were the best of the Lancashire bowlers. G.Chapple had a disappointing return to the squad with figures of 0/60.
The Lancashire reply started abysmally with both openers falling with no runs on the board and when G.Lloyd went at 6/3, an upset looked likely.
R.Dravid(43) and T.Roberts(24) tried to get Lancashire back into the reckoning, but with little support from any of the others, Lancashire were humbled for a lowly 109.
D.Gough(3/14), C.Elstub(3/42) and G.Hamilton(2/7) did the damage for Yorkshire.
A win to Yorkshire by 126 runs.

Blewy
Cricketer Of The Year
Well the much anticipated clash between board members eventuated in NZ with SA taking on the struggeling ND, although there was hope for the Kiwis as they were the only team(other than Worcs forfeit win) to beat SA in the league this season.....
ND were sent in by SA captain Darren Lehmann and got off to a steady start before Dizzy Gillespie took the wicket of H.Marshall for 15...
The loss of that wicket signalled a fall for the ND team as they consistently lost wickets with only 4 more players reaching double figures...
Parlane, J.Marshall and Bradburn all fought well for their 30's but it was all in vein as ND were eventually dismissed for 171 in the 45th over....
For the visitors, great signs as all bowlers except Haritty keeping it tight, yet Haritty still took 2 wickets...
SA New the job was only half done and that the ND bowling attack had dismantled alot of batting attacks earlier in the season, so they were on gaurd...
Things looked shaky as Fitzy fell for 2, but the experience of Blewett and the agressive nature of Miller arrested the accendancy from the ND hands and put SA into a position to really drill the nail into the coffin...
SA cruising at 1/93 looked all set to rap the game up comfortably but a couple of quick wickets including Blewy, Miller and Boof had SA reeling at 4/109 but another fight from Ryan Harris and then Adcock and Deitz fought off the ND fightback and drove SA to a relatively comfortable win...
For the home team Yovich took 2 wickets but was expensive whilst Vettori showed signs of form with 1/25 from his 7 overs...
The Man of the Match for his 3/28 and his 56 was Michael Miller....
ND are on a downward slide now after winning their 1st 3 games they have now lost 5 on the trot and are really struggleing to avoid the wooden spoon....
While the SA season goes from strength to strength with them currently on a 4 game winning streak.... Amazingly SA have only lost 2 games all season with 1 of those being a forfeit....
The SA manager was extremely happy with his troops and after the match stated that even though the boys were doing a great job they all new there goal and if it was to be acheived they all had to stay fully focused.....
So back to Adelaide next week for a clash with Glamorgan who have won 3 on the trot now and are looking to get right away from the spoon area....
Should be a cracker.....

Warwickshire vs Queensland
Well Queensland Traveled to England to take on Warwickshire,with everyone knowing that it would be a tough task to beat the Bulls even though Warwickshire were at home..
Warwickshire batting first were shown why the Bulls are on top of the comp with Queensland holding them to 9/201 of there 50 overs,With great bowling by N.Hauritz with 3/28 of 10 overs,S.Muller & M.Kasporwicz chipping in with 2 wickets each...
In Reply Queensland smashed the Warwickshire all over the park pass the 201 runs required in only 29 overs M.Hayden starting the run fest with 56 from 45 balls also M.Love 57* from 54 balls...
The Queensland coach said today that this Queensland team is the best team he has seen in years and that they will be very hard to beat in the last couple of games of the season.....They are alos looking forward to next weeks game.....
So just wrapping up Queensland Beat Warwickshire by 8 Wickets
