Full steam ahead as Yorkshire look to end long one-day trophy drought

It feels as if a switch has been flicked on Yorkshire's season.

Three wins out of three in the One-Day Cup. Four games unbeaten in the County Championship.

After weeks in the darkness, the lights have come on. Will Luxton, the Yorkshire batsman who has played his part in the shift, said the One-Day Cup was a key objective.

It has been clear from the team's performances so far, with wins over Warwickshire, Northamptonshire and Lancashire giving Yorkshire a 100 per cent record after three of eight group games.

Now, as the club seeks to go four from four against Somerset at York today, Luxton feels Yorkshire have all bases covered.

They have not won a one-day trophy since 2002, before Luxton was born and when head coach Anthony McGrath was part of the side that beat Somerset in the Cheltenham and Gloucester Trophy, a drought that the club is desperate to end.
