Heaton Bradshaw put on another cracker yesterday, with the 20/20 going down to the last ball, with Heaton holding on to win. Good to see you down there @MickyD Never thought I’d say this as I was always a massive advocate of Bolton League cricket, but it seems to have been a good move for all the Bolton clubs who are now playing in the GMCL. I’m hearing on the grapevine Horwich and Westhoughton are next……

That was top entertainment! Amazing display of batting, some nerve from the Lancs boys at the end in the field 👏

Excellent from Root today, he really is a treasure in an era where batting is over shadowed by the brilliance of bowlers on show and bowling friendly conditions. And well backed up by Foakes. Great start and great test match to hopefully kick off a new exciting era.

Fair play mate. Great effort, cheers for sharing. While I’m a bit gutted it looks like Fossey isn’t coming back, the reasons are valid. And as always trusting Evatt and his team to find better value for money with less risk is something I’m happy to leave in his capable hands. Enjoy your hols!

Ridiculous days test cricket. About sums up where England are at the moment. Very much in transition under new management and captaincy. Bringing back Broad and Anderson. Still to bed in some youngsters. Will always take wickets but batting biggest issue. And the crazy appearance of Parkinson still to come. Should be worth tuning in tomorrow.

I’m trying to think how a person will look and come across with a very low “mental aggression” but a very high “physical strength”. Loves a tackle, rarely get pushed off the ball unless it’s cold or is easily distracted and then he becomes like bambi on ice 🤷‍♂️

Well yes. Crazy story with him travelling down today for the test. And that after having been overlooked for the short form of the game. Would be nice to see Heaton’s finest take a few wickets in the 2nd innings.

It was Enjoyed that. As I alluded to after the Yorkshire win, we have immense batting power. However, we lose Livingstone, Salt, Wood and Butler (although we’ve not had him back post IPL) to England soon

Great experience for him. Let’s hope he continues to develop and improve, he’ll be a cracker 👏

Great game and great evening. The beers flowed nicely 😊🍺. Early call, but there can’t be too many teams that are better than Yorkshire/Lancashire at that form of the game. That Harry Brook for them looks like he has all the attributes to bat well in every form of the game and with Rashid, Malian and Root have some experienced quality. We have a number of destructive batters that can add runs very quickly; Jennings, Salt, Livingstone, Vilas and that new guy David and a good range of bowlers including our own Mat Parky. And I’m presuming we still have Butler to come back??! Looking forward to going again Wednesday 👏🍺

Only just realised, it’s a cracking set of fixtures to look forward too, next couple of weeks.

That was some innings! Honours even after you won the 20/20. Best batter on show was young Cian - great player.

Get in Heaton!! 👏👏
