Tom Dollery's Bears debut at Scarborough - one of the greatest games ever

"The first roller-coaster was introduced into an English seaside resort in 1907. Reports from Arbroath suggest that the thrilling tussle between Yorkshire and Warwickshire at North Marine Road in 1934 prompted the first use of the term 'roller-coaster of emotion.'"

Warwickshire will resume their Rothesay County Championship title challenge next week at one of the great, historic homes of cricket when they face Yorkshire at Scarborough. Ed Barnard's side would settle for a repeat of the remarkable game at North Marine Road in 1934 when a 19-year-old batter called Tom Dollery made his debut, the Bears were 45 all out in their first innings...and won! Brian Halford reports.
