Hopefully if the track is ok we should see best part of five hundred runs tonight. Red Rose on top of course.

Lancs looking like they’ll be chasing around 200 v Derbyshire. Some very wayward bowling.

Dropped catches … well off the pace …. maybe we are sympathising with the loss of mr Rooney

Posted: **Fri Jun 24, 2022 8:25 pm**

We’ve taken five late wickets and Derbyshire end on 188-8

First 10 overs we looked in control ….

Second best all evening. Vilas the weak link in this t20 side

Posted: **Fri Jun 24, 2022 10:00 pm**

How the heck did we lose that?

Posted: **Fri Jun 24, 2022 10:00 pm**

Should've won that. I like Rob Jones, but he's not a T20 player. I'd have played Bell before him after his knock last night

Posted: **Fri Jun 24, 2022 10:07 pm**

He must have fancied himself keeping on strike during the last over but no intent …. sloppy all round for

. We just don’t like home QF in T20 do we … apart from when we had to play at Durham due to a concert.

Tim David should have been dominating the strike once we got to the last few overs

Posted: **Fri Jun 24, 2022 10:17 pm**

Fair point CT … he was the playmaker and looked like he could hit every ball for 6 with a almost 200% strike rate. I think Birmingham have to play Yorkshire and us and we have Worcestershire away next Friday. Keep the Faith.

Posted: **Fri Jun 24, 2022 10:21 pm**

That was an absolute shambles by Lancs. Zero cricketing brains.

Surely that's tongue in cheek John? He's had an excellent season in general, him and Croft won the game on Sunday. The issue is the specialist red ball batsmen who can't get it of the square.

Speaking of Croft, I was very dubious about him playing at number 3/4, but he's been magnificent.

Final game against Warwickshire could be a massive game

Vilas is our 3rd top scorer. A very decent return for someone coming at 4,5 and 6. He’s not the problem.

play next weekend ….

Agreed, and a very competent wicket keeper too. I think his captaincy with the bowler's has been superb too.

Look at Headingley, he brought his best death bowler in Gleeson early, and he snared Willey then in his final over effectively won the game.

The problem seems to be the same every season which is not runs but lack of cricketing brains when it matters the most.

Posted: **Sat Jun 25, 2022 11:54 am**

Massive fan of Vilas but the thought process is the nail on the head.

Posted: **Thu Jun 30, 2022 6:32 pm**

Jo's has been named in the squad for tomorrow's game at Worcester 17:30 start. A useful top five we have.

T20 series squad announced that means if

get to finals day we will be without Buttler, Gleeson, Salt, Livingstone and Parkinson.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 1:01 pm**

Disgraceful timing and planning

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 1:05 pm**

Robbo the issue is that the ECB wanted the T20 done and dusted before the first post covid The Hundred which is their baby. T20 finals day is usually in September but by bringing it forward it was always going to effect the county T20 set up.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 1:07 pm**

England squad for T20 series: Jos Buttler (capt, wk), Moeen Ali, Harry Brook, Sam Curran, Richard Gleeson, Chris Jordan, Liam Livingstone, Dawid Malan, Tymal Mills, Matthew Parkinson, Jason Roy, Phil Salt, Reece Topley, David Willey.

Par score then, but if Jos gets going it might not look it.

High pants took some cloutage there.

Yorkies start in 10 mins.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 7:21 pm**

Are you sure they’ve started

Oh dear … Waite went for 20

off his first over

Understandable when you've been incarcerated in Beirut as long as he has.

Out immediately

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 7:57 pm**

The openers did their job, but now Lancs need some fireworks from David.

69 from 48 is gettable if a couple of guys get in.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:00 pm**

David gone looking tough for Lancs now. Need a big over soon.

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:02 pm**

Unbelievable collapse 85/0 to 115/6

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:06 pm**

And 7 down

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:11 pm**

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory ... 8 down !

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:11 pm**

Now 129/9

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:12 pm**

Crikey what on earth are they playing at. How come Livingstone isn’t playing again?

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:14 pm**

Lancs trying to avoid a home Q/F ( again)

Posted: **Fri Jul 01, 2022 8:18 pm**

Difficult to imagine a more brainless chase ever.
