LIFE IN THE FAST LANE

A quick look at the Division Six table will tell you that Yorkshire Post have got of to a flyer this season, and know we know why. Three members of their squad recently took part in Sky Sports "Speed Gun Challenge" each had the chance to have two deliveries measured with varying results Jim Hinks managed 45mph & 62mph, Nick Saunders got both his deliveries over the 50mph (according to his Captain a remarkable feet given he has no "run-up". The undoubted speed demon was Bruce Dunbar with deliveries of 62 & 64mph.

You can see the players in action as they are due to be broadcast on Cricket AM (Sky Sports 1, Saturdays 9am) over the next few weeks.
