Logan van Beek was there at the end last Monday when Yorkshire secured an opening-round draw against Glamorgan at Cardiff, but the Dutchman knows he will almost certainly face a more sizeable task with the bat against Hampshire tomorrow.<\/p>\n
Yorkshire head into day four of their ongoing Rothesay County Championship clash with Hampshire at Headingley firmly up against it at 62-5 chasing 426.<\/p>\n
The win is, as near as damn it, out of the question. The draw is the only realistic outcome from here after four evening wickets from seamer Kyle Abbott.<\/p>\n
Earlier, Hampshire advanced their second innings from 93-2 overnight to 351-5 declared. Captain Ben Brown hit an unbeaten 103, supported by Jake Lehmann\u2019s 92.<\/p>\n
Seam-bowling all-rounder van Beek had a hand in all five wickets to fall, taking four added to a securing a run out in his follow through.<\/p>\n
Van Beek came into this match on day two following illness for Jhye Richardson and bowled nicely. It was unfortunate that he was attacked late on by Brown and Lehmann, finishing with 4-85 from 20 overs. He deserved better for his endeavours.<\/p>\n
He said: \u201cI\u2019m probably going to be needed for a bit more with the bat than last week\u2019s spell at Glamorgan, where it was about 15 minutes at the end.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut there\u2019s no reason why Fin Bean and George Hill can\u2019t put on a big partnership and take a lot of time out of the game.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ll go home tonight and enjoy the Masters, see if I can get a little bit of inspiration and then come back tomorrow and just see what happens. It\u2019ll be the same process as if we were ahead of the game. I\u2019ll try and relax and enjoy the challenge.\u201d<\/p>\n
On today\u2019s bowling effort, he said: \u201cI think that second innings, upon reflection, we just never had it from both ends with the ball. One guy was holding an end and the other end was kind of leaking a bit. That\u2019s hard as a bowling group.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was disappointing because there was a point when they were 160 ahead for the loss of three wickets and we thought, \u2018We can maybe keep them under 250-260 if we bowl well here\u2019. That would have been a chase.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut they played well, and it was a frustrating day. The weather kind of summed up our frustrations.\u201d<\/p>\n
On his own performance, he added: \u201cIt\u2019s a funny game.<\/p>\n
\u201cWith this new rule of being able to be subbed in now, as a 12th man or a 13th man you can\u2019t really relax. You have to be on all the time just in case.<\/p>\n
\u201cMy wife laughed at me because on the morning of day two, she was like, \u2018Oh, you\u2019ll find a way to get into this game, you\u2019ll find a way\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s known me for five or six years, and there have been times when I\u2019m not playing and then all of a sudden I am and I do well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was pretty happy with the spell last night.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a new player as well, you want to be able to come in and show what you\u2019re about.<\/p>\n
\u201cI was happy to be able to give the fans and my teammates the chance to say, \u2018Yeah, this is what Logan van Beek is about\u2019.<\/p>\n
\u201cAt times, people maybe underestimate me being a Dutch player. Also, I don\u2019t know how much people follow New Zealand domestic Cricket as well.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve always felt coming over like I\u2019ve got a bit of a point to prove. So it was nice to get a bit of reward with the ball.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture by Allan McKenzie\/SWPix.com.
