JACK Brooks is confident Yorkshire can find consistency in one-day cricket and ensure they end what is sure to be another trophy-winning summer in style with a Lord's final.

Brooks is desperate to tick off a showpiece appearance at the 'home of cricket' next month in the Royal London Cup, with the Vikings close to securing a quarter-final berth.

They face the fast bowler's former county Northamptonshire at Headingley in their final Group A match on Tuesday – and could be qualified beforehand should results go their way in Monday's fixtures.

Yorkshire have won four of seven matches so far while playing some excellent cricket, particularly away against Worcestershire and Durham.

But they have also self-imploded a couple of times to lose at Surrey and against Somerset at Scarborough last time out.

"We've played all right in that and I think that sums it up," said Brooks, who is fit again after a minor back injury ruled him out of last weekend's County Championship win over Durham at Scarborough.

"At times we've been really good – the Worcester game was almost the complete performance – but at times we've not been so good.

"We showed that we're a good side last year by getting through to the quarters. Unfortunately, we just had a bad game against Durham and didn't go further.

"It would be nice to have a home quarter-final but the main aim was always just to get there. If we can get some momentum and get our England players back for the later rounds, that would be brilliant."

With the rise of Twenty20 and the popularity of Finals Day, it is a much debated subject in county cricket – which is the real showpiece, a Lord's final or Finals Day?

Brooks said: "I grew up watching cricket when 50-over was king and there was no Twenty20. Everything was geared around the Lord's finals.

"That's shifted a little bit with Finals Day but I still think that a Lord's final is still a massive thing to aim for.

"You still get big crowds. If Yorkshire got there, I'm sure the vast majority of people there would be Yorkshire fans.

"I've played there in the Championship but a cup final there is rare and something pretty special."
