6th wicket for Lancs, and a 3rd for Sundar, 201-6.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 19, 2022 4:55 pm

7 for Lancs, and another for Sundar, turning into a decent 1st day now 214-7.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Tue Jul 19, 2022 5:19 pm

Northants close on 218-7.
Two counties, Gloucestershire and Northants, are only playing 72 overs today because of the weather. The 24 lost overs are to be spread over tomorrow, Thursday and Friday.

3 quick wickets this morning 2 for Wood and 1 for Sundar giving him 5 on debut

235 all out

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Jul 20, 2022 2:10 pm

54-2 at lunch replying to 235 AO, both openers back in the hutch.

Impressive debut by Sundar.

Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground making it difficult for Lancs.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Wed Jul 20, 2022 3:10 pm

85/6 certainly something making it difficult

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Wed Jul 20, 2022 3:35 pm

100 is up anyway. 102-6, Wood and Vilas who's been dropped down the order hopefully mounting a recovery after all that carnage post lunch.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Wed Jul 20, 2022 4:06 pm

121/9

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Wed Jul 20, 2022 4:38 pm

132 all out, losing our last nine wickets for 82.

We're not going to win the title this year.

Not the first time Yorkies have had no balls

It's not been a great few days for Lancs has it, pipped on finals day, and now staring down the barrel of defeat in this game.

Only 4 batsmen made double figures, and extras was 4th top scorer, not a good day at the office,

Strange game cricket it was only a week ago Lancs topped 600, yet today they were swept away with ease.

Bailey traps the opponents captain who has to Leave Right Now.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Jul 21, 2022 2:14 pm

Some morning for Lancs, 4 for Bailey, 2 for Williams, and 1 for Luke Wood, Northants 85-7, lead of 188, so if we can wrap these last 3 wickets up sharpish we're right back in this contest.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Thu Jul 21, 2022 2:58 pm

Wouldn't you just know it?
Northants put on 60 ( so far ) for the eighth wicket.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Jul 21, 2022 3:31 pm

Finally a few quick wickets, all to Williams,giving him his 5-for, however the damage might already be done, 174 all out, so Lancs need 278 to win, which would comfortably be the highest score of the match.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Thu Jul 21, 2022 9:04 pm

Hmm! could be a tight one in the morning, Lancs were going nicely at 165-2, but close on 192-5 although one of those is Parkinson, Bohannon likely to be the key he's 92 not out overnight.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:26 pm

Don't want to put the mockers on it, but Lancashire edging towards victory here.

42 more required, with four wickets in hand.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:28 pm

Bohannon got his ton, but was then promptly out for 103, despite his loss Lancs are slowly edging their way towards victory 40 needed now, however a new ball is looming in 4 overs.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jul 22, 2022 12:37 pm

25 to win, and this pair are playing well touch wood.

lakedistrictclaret · Post by **lakedistrictclaret** » Fri Jul 22, 2022 1:00 pm

Excellent four wicket win.
Unbroken 60 odd partnership for the seventh wicket between our two new players, Williams and Sundar, sees us home.

jdrobbo · Post by **jdrobbo** » Fri Jul 22, 2022 1:37 pm

Starting the day five down, I thought we would struggle today, but thankfully we had enough and that is a terrific win in the end, especially after the first innings. Back to 2nd in the league.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Jul 22, 2022 2:16 pm

Good win that for Lancs, and badly needed with Surrey winning, and Hants likely to complete victory soon, a HT for Kyle Abbott as well.

And another 4 wickets for Keith Barker, who's now 3rd highest wicket taker in 1st Class Cricket this summer with 42. He started his career in the juniors at Enfield CC, near Accrington ...

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Sat Jul 23, 2022 3:28 pm

Remarkable game at Leicester. Leicester piled up 584, however in reply Glamorgan scored 795-5 declared, with the small matter of 461 unbroken added for the 6th wicket, Northeast finished on 410, and Chris Cooke on 191, not surprisingly batting to save the match Leicester are finding it tough.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jul 25, 2022 10:55 am

Today marks the start of the final round of CC matches before the break for other forms kicks in.

Lancs host Kent.

Yorkshire host Hampshire.

Top of the table Surrey host last season's champions Warwickshire.

And surprise, surprise the start has been delayed at OT due to rain.

dandeclaret · Post by **dandeclaret** » Mon Jul 25, 2022 12:52 pm

Hello Yorkies

33/6...... until the rain intervened

Voldemort 1, Kent lad 6, Hill a golden, lad signed from notts 6 (not out), Tattersall 6, Waite 4, The New Pie Chucker 8 and the Traffic Cone currently nought not out. Mohammad Abbas 3-7 off 9 overs.

At least with it being in Scarborough, the outfield should be capable of dealing with an ickle bit of rain, unlike "Clean Slate" (PMSL) Headingley. You can't just sign a sponsor called clean slate, and think it will absolve all other wrong doing.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Mon Jul 25, 2022 1:14 pm

There is a strong rumour that YCCC are looking into forging a close relationship with another side in the hope of creating a new slate culture and moving forwards.

Talks are said to be progressing well with cricket scotland

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jul 25, 2022 2:14 pm

Partial recovery by Yorkshire, 84-6 Fraine and Bess going along quite quickly.

Play due to start at 3PM at OT assuming the rain keeps away.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jul 25, 2022 3:37 pm

Finally Yorkshire's 7th wicket goes down, 149-7 now.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Mon Jul 25, 2022 7:09 pm

On a rain affected day Lancs 112-4 at close, the top 4 all getting starts, but only Croft 21 not out might make the most of that, pity about losing those late wickets of Wells and Jones, but hopefully tomorrow will be easier for batting.

Yorkshire marginally recovering to end 158-8, but Hampshire and Surrey, who reduced Warwickshire to 240-8 enjoying strong opening days with the ball.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:02 am

Good news they started on time at OT, the bad news Sundar is out 1st over without adding to his overnight score, 112-5.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:05 am

Another one goes 112-6 Lavelle gone for a 2 ball duck.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:20 am

Yorkshire 159 all out.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:24 am

Croft gets a snorter, and goes for 31, 133-7.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:31 am

Henry gets his 4th of the morning, 135-8, Bailey gone for a duck.

The only positive Lancs can take from this is there is plenty in this pitch, but 200 and a batting bonus point is looking distant.

dandeclaret · Post by **dandeclaret** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:33 am

I've always maintained that if you can get to 150 in your first innings, then you're always in the game......

With the bowling Lancs have we're always in the game, but any additional runs the tail can add will be welcome.

I guess this is what happens when you produce a results pitch, but given Lancs have to win they had little choice.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:49 am

Henry strikes again, 5 wickets in under 50 minutes this morning, 145-9.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 11:55 am

145 all out, now let's see what the Lancs attack can conjure up in response.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 12:45 pm

Kent 12/3 from 10 overs

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 2:20 pm

Denly and Leaning building a useful partnership after lunch, they've now added 28, which in the context of this match is a lot.

claretonthecoast1882 · Post by **claretonthecoast1882** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 2:59 pm

It's definitely calmed down since lunch, and Lancs need a breakthrough soon, as Kent are rapidly closing in on that 145.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 3:58 pm

Denly gone for 59 right before tea, boy did Lancs need that, 119-4, 2nd wicket for Bailey, 30 for the season now.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:02 pm

120-4 at tea, definitely Kent's session that one, however a few quick wickets after tea, and Lancs will be right back in this match.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:23 pm

Wicket 1st ball after tea, and suddenly we're right back in this, 120-5, 3rd wicket for Bailey, who just keeps delivering.

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Tue Jul 26, 2022 4:25 pm

Another for Bailey, weird how quickly this game can swing, 120-6, and Ollie Robinson after his long train journey lasted 3 balls.
