Head coach Anthony McGrath was thrilled with Yorkshire\u2019s dominant performance as they brushed Sussex aside at Scarborough by an innings and 128 runs to win their third match of this summer Rothesay County Championship.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Adam Lyth (115) and Matthew Revis (152 not out) scored first-innings centuries in the county\u2019s 545-9 declared, with Sussex bowled out for 222 and, today, 195.<\/p>\n
Matt Milnes was the star of the show in the second innings, completing a fine 5-31 from 16.4 overs, his best haul in a White Rose shirt. He took seven wickets in the match in all.<\/p>\n
Jack White also impressed with five wickets across the two innings of a match in which the White Rose fielded brilliantly. James Wharton\u2019s stunning diving catch to remove Tom Haines on day one highlighted that, as did a direct hit Imam Ul-Haq run out to remove Tom Alsop in the second innings.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire claimed 22 points to move out of the bottom two in Division One. They are now 12 clear of Durham with three rounds remaining.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo get 22 points gets us up that table now, and hopefully we\u2019re looking upwards now and not downwards,\u201d said McGrath.<\/p>\n
\u201cI think it\u2019s rounded off a really solid two weeks against two of the clubs that were above us, Surrey (draw) and Sussex.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe got curtailed by the weather last week, but this week we backed up the performance and dominated all days. It was a brilliant all-round performance.<\/p>\n
\u201cThese two weeks were crucial, really. We had to get some points on the board.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cSurrey, we know how good they are. Then, Sussex, who have been flying high apart from last week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cTo get 36 points or something like that, and particularly with other teams losing and not getting any points, it\u2019s a real boost.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Lyth and Revis starred with the bat, to bowl Sussex out cheaply twice with the Kookaburra ball was quite the effort on what was a pitch with good pace and bounce.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s certainly up there as one of our best bowling performances of the season,\u201d said McGrath. \u201cI think the one at York (against Essex) was good as well. That\u2019s what I\u2019m liking from the team now, we\u2019re bowling as a unit.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can see the lads were all delighted for Milnesy. We\u2019ve had to manage him carefully given his previous two years (back stress fractures).\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThe backroom staff have been brilliant. I have to give them a big shout out.\u201d<\/p>\n
On the standout performer with the bat, he said: \u201cMatthew Revis is playing really well. You can see in his body language the confidence and the belief he\u2019s got. But his technique is really, really good. He looks a high-class performer.\u201d<\/p>\n
In terms of the Wharton catch, McGrath said: \u201cBrilliant, wasn\u2019t it?<\/p>\n
\u201cWharts is one of the hardest workers when it comes to his fielding.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019ve seen it in T20, and he\u2019s probably the only person that could have got to that ball. To turn and sprint and dive full length was unbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n
McGrath also confirmed that Dom Bess, captain this week, will continue to lead the side in the forthcoming Metro Bank One-Day Cup, which starts at North Marine Road against Warwickshire on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cHe\u2019s done a brilliant job when he\u2019s stood in for Jonny Bairstow this season, and I think how he captained this game was fantastic as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cYou can see the efforts and the atmosphere out there, and Dom was a big part of that.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo yeah, he\u2019ll lead us into that.<\/p>\n
\u201cI know he enjoys the captaincy stuff, and I think he\u2019s got a good cricket brain too.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture by Allan McKenzie\/SWPix.com.
