Yorkshire 215 for 6 (Willey 74) beat Northamptonshire 140 by 75 runs (Duckett 51, Crook 43) Scorecard A bruising knock of 74 by David Willey against his former club was largely responsible for Yorkshire Vikings beating North Group leaders, Northants Steelbacks, by 75 runs at Headingley to boost their chances of reaching the quarter-final stages of the NatWest T20 Blast.Chasing a formidable target of 216, Steelbacks showed plenty of aggression early on but then collapsed to 140 all out in 15.2 overs, Richard Levi being unable to bat after injuring himself while taking a catch.Now the two sides meet with everything to play for in the final match in the group stages at Wantage Road next Friday.For the second time in three days, Yorkshire managed to roar past the 200 mark after winning the toss and batting first and this time in was Willey who inflicted most of the damage with his blistering 74 using up just 46 deliveries with five fours and six sixes.Adam Lyth on this occasion went early to a well-judged catch by Seekkuge Prasanna off the nippy Richard Gleeson but the skipper, Alex Lees, then joined Willey in the major partnership of the innings, the second wicket pair adding 106 together in ten overs.Lees got things moving by striking Gleeson for three consecutive boundaries as 43 came off the Powerplay overs. Willey joined in the spree, taking sixes off Prasanna and Cobb before blasting Graeme White for two sixes and a four, also off successive deliveries.Willeys first 50 in any domestic cricket for Yorkshire came off 31 balls with three fours and four sixes but the stand ended when Lees was brilliantly caught right-handed by Richard Levi at backward point for 35 from 27 balls with five fours, the fielder injuring himself in the process.Former Yorkshire paceman Moin Ashraf had Willey caught in the deep to make it 137 for 3 in the 14th over and, with the bit between their teeth, the Vikings kept the runs flowing, Jack Leaning smacking 30 off 14 balls with three fours and two sixes while Tim Bresnan was even more punishing near the end, his unbeaten 26 taking nine deliveries off which he smashed three sixes.Once again, Australian, Travis Head, stayed calmly in control and was not out until the final over when he was bowled by Ashraf for 22 from 17 balls with two sixes.Steelbacks showed plenty of pluck when they began their reply, Josh Cobb straight driving Bresnan for six before he gave the bowler a return catch but then Ben Duckett rose to the occasion by slamming the former England bowler for five fours in an over.The pressure eased as Adam Rossington and skipper Alex Wakely departed to consecutive balls from Liam Plunkett and the hammer blow on Steelbacks was inflicted by Adil Rashid who was able to take his place in the side after being left out by England at Old Trafford.Rashid had Duckett stumped by Andy Hodd for 51 from 23 balls with nine fours and a six. There was a brave effort, also, from Steven Crook who hit 43 from 26 balls with six fours and a six but once he fell lbw to Azeem Rafiq the visitors were 133 for 7 in the 14th over and the end came quickly.Northants coach David Ripley said: I thought we bowled well in the power play but Willey sat in there. Yorkshire have a dangerous combination of pace and spin and we will have to think about how we will cope with it next week because it will be the same situation.

Pete Ricketts has agreed to meet with one of the?Nebraska?football players he criticized for kneeling during the national anthem at the Cornhuskers most recent game.Michael Rose-Ivey and two teammates each took a knee before Saturdays game at Northwestern as a protest against police brutality and racial injustice. After Ricketts called the act disgraceful and disrespectful, Rose-Ivey tweeted at Ricketts that he would like to discuss the issue with him.Ricketts on Tuesday night responded on Twitter:Per his request, Rose-Iveys meeting with the governor is scheduled to take place next week when Nebraska has a bye.Also Tuesday, Rose-Ivey and teammates Mohamed Barry and DaiShon Neal were criticized by two university regents, but they received support from the university president.Regent Hal Daub of Omaha and Jim Pillen of Columbus said the anthem protest was in poor judgment.Theyre wearing a University of Nebraska uniform, and all student-athletes should be aware that their actions reflect not only on themselves but everyone else, Daub said. It wasnt their forum to take advantage of and use as a?Colin Kaepernick?cloning situation. Everyone will say the First Amendment gives them the right, but they shouldnt be able to take advantage of the captive market of the football team and the universitys reputation.Daub said he has received a large number of phone calls and emails from the public and most of the people I talk to are disappointed and embarrassed.American Civil Liberties Union of Nebraska executive director Danielle Conrad praised the three players for exercising their First Amendment rights and said the ACLU defends the right of people to disagree with the players protest.But she said its shocking that government leaders would assert government sanctions should be imposed to discipline these student athletes for their expression on critical racial justice issues.During the teams media availability Monday, Rose-Ivey read a statement explaining the reasons he, Barry and Neal joined Kaepernick, the backup quarterback for the?San Francisco 49ers, and other professional and amateur athletes who have kneeled or otherwise protested what they feel is unfair treatment of African-Americans in the United States.Ricketts, responding to a caller on his weekly radio show Monday, said: Generations of men and women have died to give them that right to protest. I think the way they chose to protest was disgraceful and disrespectful.University president Hank Bounds pointed out that the players and their critics are free to express their views under the First Amendment. Bounds pointed to a Board of Regents policy in place for almost a half-century that says members of the academic community have the right to extensive latitude in making their opinions known.College camppuses, as much as any space, must be places where robust, even uncomfortable, debate is welcomed and encouraged, Bounds said.dddddddddddd. Our students, faculty and staff absolutely enjoy the right to participate in these dialogues in the manner they choose under the First Amendment and board policy.Pillen, who played defensive back for the Huskers from 1976 to 78, said hes pleased that Rose-Ivey, Barry and Neal feel strongly about a cause. But he said he adamantly opposes the manner in which they chose to express themselves.Im a believer in the team above all single or group agendas, Pillen said. When you place yourself above team, team doesnt work. If there were three other guys who have another cause, and they were also going to use [the game] as a platform. ... I dont think anybody should put their convictions above team.Pillen added, Im 100 percent behind supporting their critical thinking and taking a stand, and I would encourage them to put their money where it is now and be engaged -- but not by taking a knee.In interviews with The Associated Press, neither Daub nor Pillen suggested disciplinary action should be taken against the three players. Daub disputed a Lincoln Journal Star report in which the newspaper quoted him as saying Rose-Ivey, Barry and Neal should be kicked off the team.Rose-Ivey said in his statement that he and his family had received racially charged criticism on social media since Saturday night. He said he also received supportive messages.Rose-Ivey, Barry and Neal were able to use the Northwestern game as a platform because teams are on the field during the anthem at the Wildcats stadium. Teams are in the locker rooms during the anthem at Nebraska home games and at many other venues in college football.Huskers coach Mike Riley said Monday, and again Tuesday on the Big Ten coaches call with reporters, that he supports his players decision to protest and that Rose-Ivey did an awesome job with his statement.Mike is a very, very thoughtful person, and I think hes a very aware person, Riley said. These thoughts obviously didnt come overnight, nor did the actions he used on Saturday.Riley also said the harsh criticism of Rose-Ivey was unwarranted.I think that everybody should be reminded that theres lots of differences in people. Ive got 140 kids on the football team and theyre all different in their own beautiful way, Riley said. Everybody should be reminded that this is America and we have an opportunity and right to be able to basically say what we feel and how were feeling and why were feeling that way. Mike did a great job of that, and he should be respected through that.ESPNs Mitch Sherman contributed to this report China NFL Jerseys Cheap Nike NFL Jerseys NFL Jerseys Cheap Wholesale NFL Jerseys Cheap Basketball Jerseys Online Stitched Hockey Jerseys Wholesale Baseball Jerseys Football Jerseys Outlet College Jerseys For Sale Cheap MLB Jerseys Wholesale Soccer Jerseys Wholesale Jerseys For Sale Wholesale NFL Jerseys ' ' '
