Yorkshire 136 for 2 trail Lancashire 494 (Hameed 114, Clark 84, Procter 79, Jarvis 57, Brooks 3-81, Bresnan 3-80) by 358 runsScorecard Lancashires former players met for their annual reunion on the second day of this match and over thirty of the old boys turned up for the bash. Catfish Hunter Jersey . No doubt tales were told and mayhap some had grown in the telling. An you know what they said / Well some of it was true! sang Joe Strummer, although probably not too many of the ex-cricketers meeting in the Emirates Old Trafford pavilion this warm Sunday will be familiar with The Clashs rich oeuvre.But however outrageous the stories of white on green might have been as the late-morning claret slipped down they would have been tall indeed to eclipse events taking place in the middle. For as if to heighten the strangeness of Lancashires rapid subsidence on Saturday evening, the home sides last three wickets added 195 runs in 37.2 overs during an extended session in which both Jordan Clark and Kyle Jarvis made career-best scores and the pair broke the countys tenth-wicket record for Roses matches.That mark was established in 1991 when Peter Martin and Ian Austin added a very rapid 82 at Scarborough, partly, so another tale goes, to expedite a rapid return home in a game Lancashire were going to lose. As it turned out, the visitors went down by a mere 48 runs.Clark and Jarviss stand was worth 107 when the latter was leg before to Adil Rashid for 57 and the partnership was thus a single run shy of the tenth-wicket record in all Roses matches, which was set at Old Trafford by Lord Hawke and Lees Whitehead in 1903. Yet as the historians remembered long-dead cricketers and the former players recalled their own days of glory, the crowd - well, most of them, anyway - enjoyed the excitement offered by a morning which had begun when Clark and Arron Lilley rattled off a series of boundaries against an attack which pitched the ball up without employing, or maybe perfecting, the yorker.Lancashires eighth-wicket pair put on 87 in a mere 13 overs and they established a completely fresh tempo for their sides innings. Instead of calling on Rashid - Henry the Hoover is just one of the leg spinners domestic appliance nicknames - to clean up Steven Crofts later batsmen, Yorkshire bowlers had to cope with two perfectly capable stroke-makers who employed the old tailenders maxim, if its up, its off to very good effect.And even after Lilley had been caught behind off Patterson for 45 when attempting an uppercut to third man and Buck had been leg before to a full length delivery from Bresnan five balls later, Yorkshire had to deal with the galling frustration that always comes when an attack believes its work is done, only to discover that an hours irritiation lies ahead.One mans irritation is anothers joy, of course, and so it was at Old Trafford late on the second morning of this game when Jarvis hit Rashid for a couple of big sixes over long on during an innings in which he took an equal share of that last-wicket stand with Clark.Yet the exuberant hitting and the uninhibited sense of fiesta during the morning session threw the rest of the day into sharp relief as Yorkshires batsmen made their way carefully to a 136 for two off 62 overs against an accurate attack and in a typically lively Roses match atmosphere. The only successes enjoyed by Lancashire bowlers were the dismissals of Adam Lyth, who was leg before to Jarvis for 25 and Jack Leaning, who was caught at slip by Liam Livingstone off Tom Smith for seven two balls after being dropped by Lilley, also in the slip cordon. Lyth walked across his wicket and hardly waited for the umpires decision while Leaning was discomfited by a little extra bounce.For the rest of the day Alex Lees and Andrew Gale accumulated runs in a fashion and tempo much more recognisable to those watching from the pavilion and, indeed, to Lord Hawke as well. A morning session that had seen 195 runs scored at 5.22 runs an over was followed a few hours later by an evening in which Lees and Gale, perfectly understandably, managed 61 in 35 overs, a rate of 1.74.Yorkshire have their eyes on the follow on target which lies a distant 209 runs away; Gale may also be relieved to score what would be only his second fifty of the Championship season, although it is probably three figures that he craves rather more and the return of the famous pennant most of all. Lancashire know that the new ball is only 18 overs away and are still nursing fond hopes of what would be their first victory in a four-day Roses match at Old Trafford since 2000. Josh Phegley Jersey . PAUL, Minn. George Hendrick Jersey . Artturi Lehkonen, Joni Nikko and Ville Leskinen had the other goals for Finland (1-0) while Juuse Saros stopped 28 shots. Tim Robin Johnsgard had the lone goal for Norway (0-2). https://www.cheapathleticsonline.com/244...-athletics.html . "It was nerve-wracking, but we pulled through," said Collaros, who threw four touchdown passes to lead the Toronto Argonauts (8-4) to a 33-27 win over the Calgary Stampeders (9-3) in front of 28,781 fans at McMahon Stadium. FLORHAM PARK, N.J. -- Mike Maccagnan allowed himself to celebrate for a moment once he knew that Ryan Fitzpatrick was coming back to the New York Jets.The two sides ended a months-long contract stalemate by agreeing to terms on a one-year, $12 million deal Wednesday night. It became official when the quarterback signed all the paper work the next day, shortly before the Jets first training camp practice kicked off.For a night, I felt a big sigh of relief, said Maccagnan, entering his second season as general manager. And then, it was back to work.While speaking to reporters Friday for the first time since the NFL draft, Maccagnan wouldnt disclose details of the negotiations between the Jets and Fitzpatrick. The GM also wouldnt address comments by Fitzpatrick, who was unhappy with the teams initial three-year offer that lacked guaranteed money beyond the first year.Hey, the deal is done, Maccagnan said. Were very happy with it. Were happy to have Fitz back. I just want to go forward with this whole thing and get the team ready to go and play.Getting to this point, though, rested in large part on the outcome of Fitzpatricks contract situation. With that out of the way -- finally -- Maccagnan and the rest of the organization can focus again on just football.However, theres one thing the GM might do differently if ever faced with a similar situation in the future.Probably, I think going forward, Im going to get all these things resolved before I go on vacation, said a smiling Maccagnan, whose recent European trip was spent in part checking emails and texts.Two weeks ago, Maccagnan took care of the other contract situation hanging over the organization when the Jets signed defensive end Muhammad Wilkerson to a five-year extension worth $86 million.It appeared Wilkerson would have to play this season under the franchise tag amount of $15.7 million as the deadline of July 15 to reach a long-term deal approached. Wilkerson would have possibly sat out of training camp and an already uncomfortable situation could have become testy.Instead, the Jets and Wilkerson came to an agreement on a contract just minutes before the deadline.That was just one where it took us a while to get to that point, Maccagnan said.He added that Wilkersons big deal doesnt preclude us from being able to get a new contract done with defensive lineman Sheldon Richardsson, who is signed through next season but could demand huge bucks with a solid season. Mark Canha Jersey. The Jets are coming off a 10-6 season in which they fell a victory short of making the playoffs. They have what many regard as a tough schedule to open this season, with games against Cincinnati, Buffalo, Kansas City, Seattle, Pittsburgh and Arizona.Still, the focus remains the same for Maccagnan and the rest of the organization: make the playoffs.Were gunning for it, he said. Thats our goal. Whether we achieve it or not, thats not the only benchmark well probably use to analyze how were doing.He wants the Jets to be competitive and build off of last years success. But if New York failed to make the postseason for the sixth straight season?I think wed have to go back and look at, if we didnt make it, what was positive and what was something to build on going forward, Maccagnan said. I dont know if I would necessarily say playoffs or bust. I know everybody probably wants that quote. But were just working one week at a time.He wouldnt look too far into the future as far as Geno Smiths status with the team, either, but gave every indication that the fourth-year quarterback would remain on the Jets roster this season.I would assume so, Maccagnan said. Hes had a very good offseason.Smith would have moved back into the starting role if Fitzpatrick hadnt been re-signed. He lost that job last summer when he had his jaw broken by a punch from a teammate in the locker room.Smith now slides back to No. 2 on the depth chart, followed by second-year quarterback Bryce Petty and second-round draft pick Christian Hackenberg. That gives the Jets four quarterbacks, and most NFL teams dont carry more than three into a season.Coach Todd Bowles acknowledged that having four QBs on the roster in Week 1 remains conceivable, and Maccagnan echoed that sentiment.Its something weve discussed and its a possibility, Maccagnan said. In our minds, really at that position, in todays NFL, you want to take time to grow and develop your quarterbacks. Weve discussed it internally, and if thats in the best interest of the team going forward, then well do it.---AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
