Comfortable Victory For Yorkshire
From Headingly
Yorkshire completed victory today against Northants by an innings margin with over a day to spare. Northants never looked like getting past the margin of Yorkshire's lead and Matthew Hoggard ripped them wide apart taking 5 wickets in a devestating spell of fast bowling which shows why he is an important member of the England team.
Matthew Hoggard: 5 for 61
From Briggs View
Shaun Briggs bowled 9 overs in the Northants second innings and like always, kept his line and lengths just right. A good variation of pace kept the Northants batsmen on there toes, and this variation showed when he bowled captain David Sales with a very good slower delivery. A very good all round performance from Briggs.
