Cricket: The John Player League: Yorkshire v Derbyshire

on BBC Two England

Direct from Park Avenue, Bradford

Frederick Sewards Trueman, self-styled 'T' finest bloody fast bowler that ever drew breath,' has come out of retirement this year to play one-day matches for Derbyshire. With a record 307 Test wickets to his credit and the familiar ferocious glare directed at so many batsmen in the past, who would dare dispute his claim? The confrontation between this great bowler and his fellow Yorkshiremen should provide moments of high drama in what promises to be a very entertaining afternoon's cricket.
