JORDAN THOMPSON admitted that a less experienced version of himself might not have bounced back so strongly from conceding 30 runs in an over to turn in a match-winning performance less than 48 hours later.
The Yorkshire all-rounder took 3-18 at Northants on Sunday - including his 100th wicket in T20 - as the visitors won by 29 runs. It was in some contrast to the events at Leicester on Friday night when Thompson was struck for three sixes and two fours by Sol Budinger as Yorkshire lost by seven wickets with 35 balls remaining. “Friday night was a bit of a disappointment to say the least,” said Thompson. “It was a disappointment to bowl like that when I’ve played so much T20 cricket.
He is the fifth-highest T20 wicket-taker in Yorkshire’s history behind Adil Rashid , Tim Bresnan , Rich Pyrah and Azeem Rafiq , with the next-highest current player being Matty Fisher with 45. “It’s a nice milestone to get to 100,” said Thompson, who made his debut in 2018. “It was my 100th game a couple of games ago and I’m one wicket behind my overall games at the moment, so it would be nice to align that.
