Yorkshire head coach Rich Pyrah reflected on today\u2019s 50-over defeat against Glamorgan at Weetwood and said: \u201cWe were 50-60 runs short, minimum, on that pitch.\u201d<\/p>\n
Glamorgan won by four wickets chasing 173 inside 46 overs.<\/p>\n
They bowled the White Rose out for 172, with Ria Fackrell top-scoring with 36 and Rebecca Duckworth adding 29. They were the only two home batters to reach 20 on a pitch which turned.<\/p>\n
Thirteen of the 16 wickets in the match fell to spin.<\/p>\n
All-rounder Fackrell had an excellent day, claiming three wickets with her off-spinners.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Ultimately, though, Yorkshire suffered their third defeat in six in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup. They remain in semi-final contention with three games to play in the group.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pyrah said:\u201cI\u2019ve said all along that this year is going to throw different challenges at us.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re in a period now where we\u2019re missing seven first-team players from the start of the season for whatever reason \u2013 injury and unavailability through the Hundred.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe showed good character with the ball towards the end, but we were 50-60 runs short, minimum, on that pitch.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was a great cricketing pitch. It spun and it bounced. But, if you bowled any bad balls, you got scored off. It\u2019s also such a quick-scoring ground here. Scoring 250 here would be like scoring 210 anywhere else.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pyrah praised Fackrell, today\u2019s standout performer. She has enjoyed an excellent second half of the season, in particular.<\/p>\n
He added: \u201cRia got off to a slow start in the season, big move for her moving up to Leeds. But we\u2019ve found a clear role for her now. She bowls in the middle, bats around seven. Whenever she goes into bat, she\u2019s busy, she ups the tempo with her running and striking of the ball.<\/p>\n
\u201cShe\u2019s done really well, so I\u2019m pleased for her.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe most pleasing thing for me is that when we\u2019re in tough moments, she\u2019s standing up.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture by Allan McKenzie\/SWPix.com.
