Six months on from the start of the season back in April, it all
came down to the final afternoon of the very last match - at the
Home of Cricket. The two sides, Middlesex and Yorkshire, went into
the game first and second in the table. If neither managed to force
a win, it would leave the County Championship title to third-placed
Somerset. Late September was blessed with beautiful Indian-summer
weather; the biggest crowd for a county match at Lord's for some 40
years turned up to watch, and four days of battling, attritional
cricket, the balance swinging either way, culminated in an
unbelievably tense run chase by Yorkshire. As the autumn shadows
lengthened, an unforgettably gladiatorial contest was finished by
the Middlesex fast bowler Toby Roland-Jones in the most memorable
way of all: a hat-trick. Now, the award-winning sports writer
Duncan Hamilton, who was at Lord's to watch every ball, re-lives
this extraordinary, epic match, the finest advert for one of the
most demanding competitions in any sport.
