Veteran seamer Sidebottom tore through the batting line-up of his former club Nottinghamshire finishing with 6-30, and nine wickets in the match, as Yorkshire bowled out their hosts out for 177 to win by an innings and 152 runs, confirming the 32nd championship in their proud history.

It was a personal triumph too for Sidebottom, Yorkshire-born and the sole survivor in this team from his native county’s last title-winning season in 2001 but also twice a winner in the same competition in his seven years with Nottinghamshire.
