Date-stamped : 11 Sep95 - 12:22 SUNLG: Yorkshire v Sussex, Scarborough, 10 September 1995 Yorkshire steered home by McGrath - David Green Yorks (165-3) bt Sussex (164-8) by 7 wkts A THOROUGHLY impressive innings of 72 from Anthony McGrath, 19, who adapted to a slow pitch better than any other batsman in the match, was the decisive contribution to Yorkshire`s sixth Sunday League win of the season. McGrath and Michael Vaughan, who is not yet 21, put together an opening partnership of 114 off 27 overs. Later, some tight bowl- ing from Ed Giddins, Keith Greenfield and Ian Salisbury kept Yorkshire, who won with only one ball to spare, in check. McGrath, who was making his first appearance in the Sunday League, displayed a wide range of strokes and, playing the ball late, generated considerable power. His driving, both straight and to the on-side, took the eye, as did his cutting, whether square or late. Vaughan, who played an important supporting role, was the first to go, carving Robin Martin-Jenkins to backward point. McGrath seemed set to bat through the innings before he turned Greenfield tamely to square leg. He faced 93 balls, hitting six fours. David Byas, who is having a leanish time at the end of a fruitful summer, gave Greenfield a simple return catch. Tightly though Giddins and Paul Jarvis bowled, Yorkshire, needing to find barely four runs an over for the last five, squeezed home. Earlier Sussex, having chosen to bat first, appeared to be put- ting together a reasonable total as Bill Athey, playing against one of his former counties, and Alan Wells took them to 67 for one without undue alarms. At that point Wells cover-drove the medium-paced Alex Morris and was caught on the fence by McGrath, whose fielding was also ex- cellent. From that point the innings declined, with only Neil Lenham`s unbeaten 56 preventing a complete collapse. Athey, looking to run Michael Bevan`s left-arm over to third man, was caught behind and in the next over Richard Stemp dismissed Peter Moores and Danny Law with the last two balls of his spell, both caught at midwicket. Lenham, meanwhile, was accumulating runs busily. Lacking the power to find the fence, he compensated by placing the ball clev- erly and ran swiftly between the wickets in company with Salis- bury and Jarvis, his runs coming off only 67 balls, with one boundary.
