Revenge was timely and very sweet as Yorkshire beat Middlesex for the first time in 2025, keeping their trophy dream alive.

The Ashes may well be done and dusted, but that will not stop thousands of England fans from descending on Melbourne and Sydney for the Christmas and New Year’s Tests over the next fortnight.

When you look down the list of Yorkshire’s best bowling figures in first-class cricket, there are plenty of highlights to choose from. Three players have taken 10 wickets in an innings, for example, the great Hedley Verity doing it twice. Plenty of nine-fers too. But another one catches the eye. Ted Peate’s 8-5 against Surrey at Holbeck in 1883.
