Here is the news, better get the scores from other grounds up to date before the loudspeaker man returns from his tea break.
Half a point is better than none as both sides 'win' last-ditch Lehmann epic
Yorkshire survive in Division 1 - thanks to Darren Lehmann's almost all-time record score for Yorkshire of 339 against Durham at the wire, and then Durham survive as well thanks to Nottinghamshire's surprise collapse against new Champions Sussex.
Yorkshire's one-day season? Don't ask!
The Championship season began at Trent Bridge against holders Nottinghamshire in April - with only one innings possible because of the weather. No play on Days 1 and 3, and very little on Day 2.
Nottinghamshire, having been inserted, took maximum batting points while Yorkshire took only two for bowling as the match was drawn. Little did we know that in the final round of matches in late September there would be an astonishing drama at that venue.
Yorkshire had to wait until their trip to Riverside in July to record a Championship win - which was followed by another in the next match at Scarborough against Warwickshire: this saw the debut of Adil Rashid, who scored only 10, but his second-innings analysis of 6-67 gave Yorkshire an innings win.
The sea air must be good for Rashid - in the second match by the seaside, this time against Middlesex, he took four wickets in the second innings, and with Mark Lawson taking the other six all 10 had fallen to the leg-spinners. Yorkshire needed 275 runs to win in just over a day - and had reached 39 without loss at the close of Day 3. The weather had the final say, with no play possible on Day 4, so the match was drawn, leaving Yorkshire in the relegation zone.
Yorkshire now had 10 days rest after the Scarborough Festival with two more Championship games to play - against Nottinghamshire and Durham, both at Headingley. Craig White led the way against Nottinghamshire with 147 in the first innings, and at 12.12pm on Day 4 he declared Yorkshire's second innings closed, leaving Nottinghamshire 282 to chase.
Rashid and Lawson did the business - taking seven wickets between them as they had in the first innings, the home side winning by 68 runs with 15 minutes to spare. Durham had drawn at Old Trafford in the same round of fixtures, so Yorkshire had to gain one more point than Durham to stay in Division 1. Yorkshire won the toss and batted, and once again had a poor opening stand: they had managed only one opening partnership over 100 - 115 in the second innings at Riverside on July 15.
Cometh the hour, cometh the man...and what a man! Darren Lehmann, playing his final game for his adopted Yorkshire, scored a sensational career-best 339 out of 677-7 declared - and was only two short of George Hirst's all-time record of 341 for Yorkshire. Durham took only one bowling point, so Yorkshire needed six wickets to stay in Division 1. Deon Kruis played his part with three wickets in four balls in over 50 - and just before the close on Day 2 Rashid saw Yorkshire to that vital point.
Day 3 brought a lifeline for Durham as Nottinghamshire lost to Sussex, the new Champions.
Durham now needed maximum batting points and a draw to go above Nottinghamshire by half a point: this they achieved, and in spite of following on they held out, so Riverside stays on our fixture list.
Yorkshire's one-day season is best forgotten.
The new-style Cheltenham & Gloucester Trophy saw only three victories, and the NatWest Pro40 was worse with only one - leaving Phoenix bottom of Division 2.
The Twenty20 Cup saw us playing the older guard this year, and after an easy win against Lancashire Lightning in the final group match we reached the Quarter Final for the first time.
What do you think, Anthony? Fingers crossed as John checks with star batsman McGrath.
This brought Yorkshire a trip to Chelmsford to play under the lights against Essex - but they did us no good as the home side won. A notable memory from this competition was a 14-ball 50 by Gerard Brophy to equal the world record in what was to be a disappointing season for the new wicket-keeper.
There were 29 partnership of 100 and over - but only one for the first wicket in the Championship and the same in one-day cricket. The biggest stand was the last century partnership - Lehmann and Lumb's 358 against Durham in the final match as they set a new record for the fourth wicket. Career-bests totalled 52 this season - and again the best was left to the last, Lehmann's 339. What a way to go!
The weather was slightly worse than 2005 - 5,218 minutes lost against 5,140 in 2005 - with no play at all on seven days. Unlike 2005 when all Championship matches went to the last day five of them finished in three: these were all on the trot in that very hot spell - Southgate, Arundel, Riverside, Scarborough (against Warwickshire) and the Rose Bowl, three losses and two wins. The good side to this was that potentially awkward Saturday night travels were avoided.
The season ended on a high note, but a sad one: Craig White has given up the captaincy, and Darren Lehmann has played his last game of county cricket. Good luck to you both for the future! Thanks for everything; it has been a pleasure to have known you, and worked with you. I shall miss you.
