THERE was a Halloween party at Scarborough Cricket Club yesterday. The ghoulish theme was not inappropriate after what might be called “a week from hell”.

THESE are troubling times at Scarborough Cricket Club.

GRAHAM GOOCH is backing Anthony McGrath to bring the good times back to Yorkshire and said that the club could not have a better man at the helm.

MAYANK AGARWAL has said that he would like to return to Yorkshire after a stay that left him hungry for more.

SANJAY PATEL believes Yorkshire have a group of young players who can form the nucleus of a side that can challenge for the Championship.

AN email from a reader said it all.

In the second part of his season review, cricket correspondent Chris Waters dishes out his awards for 2025.

THE skies were blue and the sun was shining as Headingley paid tribute to Dickie Bird this morning.

HE was sitting, as usual, on a bench overlooking the North Bay at Scarborough, as beautiful a spot as the old eyes had seen.

THE abiding memory will be of a man in a white coat, fidgeting nervously, periodically scanning the skyline for any sign of precipitation and/or approaching bad light, while routinely rejecting appeals for leg-before wicket unless they were plumb.
