Teams

As a cricketer, especially a batter, there are many things you need to remember to put in your kit bag. Bat? Check. Pads? Check. Gloves? Check. The list goes on. For James Wharton, however, the list is a little longer. A brick? Check.

James Wharton was delighted to have scored his maiden List A century, and his first of the season in all formats, but more so to have helped Yorkshire confirm their semi-final place in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup today. 

James Wharton posted his maiden List A century - an excellent 118 off 106 balls - as Yorkshire beat Kent by 76 runs at Canterbury and, in the process, confirmed a Sunday home semi-final in the Metro Bank One-Day Cup.
