Fin Bean reflected on his stunning 102 not out off 57 balls in victory over Durham at Scarborough today and said: \u201cIt was one of those days where it all went my way.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bean, 23, posted Yorkshire\u2019s fastest ever List A century off 53 balls, beating team-mate Adam Lyth\u2019s previous record off 60 balls on this ground in 2016.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe reckoned that I hadn\u2019t beaten him at tea, so I\u2019ll have to go back in and tell him,\u201d chuckled the left-hander who underpinned Yorkshire\u2019s 354-7 total.<\/p>\n
Bean\u2019s exploits came in his 18th List A game. He has yet to debut in T20, but after hitting eight fours and six sixes he showed that he has the power to shine in limited overs cricket as well as the determination to dominate in red.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve not played a huge amount of white-ball cricket, so I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d be the one to have that record (Yorkshire\u2019s fastest List A century),\u201d he said.\u201cBut, yeah, it was one of those days where it all went my way, and thankfully we put a nice total on the board.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019ve not done a whole lot of batting in the middle order.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cI think what\u2019s been key this year is we\u2019ve had wickets in hand, which has been nice for the lads coming in, having a platform to play aggressive cricket. Thankfully, today it was another one of those times.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s just getting my white-ball cricket going.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cObviously, it\u2019s not gone to plan in the last couple of years, so a knock like that gives me a world of confidence going forward.\u201d<\/p>\n
More importantly, Bean contributed to Yorkshire\u2019s fifth win in six Group B games. They are top of the table on 20 points and close to securing knockout qualification with two more games to go.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cEveryone\u2019s played their part today, and it\u2019s coming together quite nicely for us,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
While Yorkshire\u2019s exploits with the bat will take the headlines \u2013 Will Luxton hit a patient 46 and James Wharton a dynamic 84 \u2013 the bowlers were superb too in bowling Durham out for 142.<\/p>\n
They all but ended the North East County\u2019s own knockout hopes and consigned them to a record 212-run defeat. Never before have they suffered a heavier runs margin defeat in List A cricket.<\/p>\n
Jack White led the way with three wickets, Ben Coad and Dom Bess two. Each of the six bowlers used all struck, including Adam Lyth, who was deployed because Coad suffered a hamstring injury after only bowling 17 balls.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Bean added: \u201cHaving Jack White and Ben Coad at the top with the ball and then Matt Milnes to follow with George Hill, they know how to bowl at Scarborough.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe new ball\u2019s massive in this format. Whitey and Coady bowled a lovely length and got their awards, which was pleasing.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cThen Bessy and the old boy Lythy to finish off, it was good.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Picture by Allan McKenzie\/SWPix.com.
