Yorkshire Ease Home In Style
At Headingly
Yorkshire completed a comfortable 9 wicket victory over Derbyshire in this Totesport League encounter at Headingly. An unbeaten 70 from Australian Phil Jaques along with a solid 58 from England captain Michael Vaughan guided Yorkshire to their target of 159 with over 16 overs left to spare. After a blistering start from openers Jaques and Briggs which saw a flourish of boundaries, Briggs was run out after a poor call which saw him well short of the crease after a direct hit from Di Venuto standing at mid off. That left Yorkshire at 38 for 1 and Derbyshire with some hope, but the partnership between Jaques and Vaughan worth 121 won the game for the Phoenix as Derbyshire's hopes of promotion look to have gone after this defeat.
From Briggs View
After getting Yorkshire off to a blistering start, Briggs would have been anoyed with himself after virtually running himself out on a pitch which was proven to be a brilliant batting strip. Before getting himself out though, Briggs smashed a 4 and a 6 from Tom Lungley who took a battering all game. But, Briggs will have been thankful that the run out was not more costly for Yorkshire as they eased home for victory.
