Jimmy gets rid of the 2 big guns, and a chance now for Lancs to push for victory.

5 wickets in 29 overs, if the weather holds that's possible, even on this track.dandeclaret wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 4:39 pm124-5

That Warwickshire game is a mess isn't it? 10 wickets for over a thousand runs.
What are they doing with the pitches? These balls aren't doing a lot either, and are changed with incredible regularity.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
I don't know, but there's definitely been a dramatic change from the normal early season scores, and in trying to correct the bowler friendly tracks, they appear to have moved too far in the other direction, and are producing pitches with runs galore on offer.dandeclaret wrote: ↑Sun May 15, 2022 4:59 pmThat Warwickshire game is a mess isn't it? 10 wickets for over a thousand runs.

5 centuries in that Edgbaston game alone, and Edgbaston isn't usually a track that produces huge totals.
It's good for the England batsmen though as they'll at least spend time in the middle, however whether that is good preparation for facing a potent NZ attack we'll discover in June.

Brook impressing again 2nd dig, and he'll be getting an England call up soon.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
It is amazing how many of England’s fast bowlers are crocked, latest are Saqib and Fisher but there are more of them on the treatment table than actually bowling. First thing for Key and McCullum to sort out.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Yes they're dropping like flies aren't they, Matthew Potts of Durham is rumoured to be getting a call up, 35 wickets this season, at an average of under 19, admittedly in Division 2, but he might be worth a punt, he's a right arm seamer if you aren't already aware.
But these injuries are becoming a real problem now, and you seriously do wonder how England will cope once Anderson and Broad finally leave the stage.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
They don’t get enough bowling into their legs in county cricket, need big backsides like Ken Higgs, Trueman, Rushworth etc. This lot are cosseted undergraduates!

Anderson v Cook this morning! Lancashire have a serious attack for Hassan's last game.

Well we got rid of Cook early, but Browne and Westley are going at lunch, 74-1 with the sun coming out, not what Lancs would wish to see when bowling. Bailey with the sole success of the morning session.

Parky gets rid of Westley, but Browne and Lawrence going well at 136-2.
More runs for Compton again another 50 and he's still in.
Crawley also made a 50, Lees 44, however Stokes out for just 15, and for once Shan Masood failed making only 18, Lancs old boy Davies not troubling the scorers much for his new county, a mere 19 to his name today.

A wicket for jimmy, but this 4th wicket stand is threatening to take the game away from Lancashire, 212-3.
Compton on the verge of yet another ton, he must be in the thought's of England at the very least.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Good final session for Lancs, 233-3 becomes 280-7 at the close, 100 unbeaten for Lawrence, and 3 wickets for Bailey. I think Lancs will be the happier side tonight with those late wickets.
Ben Compton bats through the day for his 125 not out, and he's doing all he can to convince England to pick him.

Essex 391 all out, and already Jennings and Bohannon back in the Lancashire hutch, 8-2 with Essex's potent attack causing early carnage.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Lancs want it finished in 3 days so they can be at Turf on Sunday !!
Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Lancs 32-5 at the close.
Yorks 269-4, 25 runs ahead, quality bat Lyth 118 not out.

Oh look, here is… I could have sworn that I put an extra bolt on your box, but clearly that was not enough on this occasion. Regardless, come on, off you pop and climb back in.
Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Blimey Lancs 69-8
Didn't want this to disappear off the front page so early in the season.

Dismal display by Lancs, but as you rightly say it's still early in the season, this could be all over today if Lancs don't wake up mind you.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
103 all out 1st dig, only Salt who made 44 can hold his head high, and already Jennings gone 2nd dig, 10-1 only a mere 278 to make Essex bat again.
Lyth went for 145, but Yorkshire building a good lead, already nearly 150 ahead.
Compton made 140, and if he doesn't get at least one England test this summer I'll be staggered.

Whoo! Lancs have passed 50 for the loss of only 3 wickets. 3 boundaries in 35 overs tells you everything you need to know about how much ball is dominating bat.

100 up for Lancs and still only 3 down, making a better fist of the 2nd innings, but probably far too late to make a difference.

Re: County Championship - are we ready?
Lancs 213-9 at close, and TBH they might as we;; have finished up tonight, although I suppose rain may yet ride to Lancs rescue, undeserved as that would be.
Vilas played nicely, and Croft and Salt entertained briefly, but Lancashire have totally outplayed for the last 2 days, after an even first day.
Somerset blown away for 69 in their 2nd innings as Hampshire easily wrap up a 10 wicket victory. and Yorkshire well poised to do similar tomorrow.

Warwickshire won toss and batted, good morning for Lancs, wicket for Bailey and Balderson, and Davies fails again against his former county, Sibley going nicely mind you, 53-2 in the 19th.

Warks 292 all out, 3 wickets for Balderson and Lamb, and 2 for some chap called Williams, no idea who he is, but decent figures of 2-42, a 130 for Sam Hain saved Warks.
