Couple of Kolpak signings made today.

 

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and South African international wicketkeeper Dane Vilas.

 

Also looking to sign a big name for the T20.

Aye. Somerset's batting effort was outrageously woeful. Hope they play that bad when we play them later.

Shame Essex won yesterday too

Play them this week, don't we?

Yes. Pretty much a must win.

Interesting that Croft didn't select himself for the last game. As a captain that must take some balls.

Not going to play much today.

222/8.

Hameed is 85 not out (Parry next highest scorer with 35).

Not great, but I'd guess both teams won't fond it easy with the conditions.

They're just playing for bonus points given the weather. Essex got to choose to bowl without a toss as the away team - that rule is supposed to encourage teams to prepare proper pitches, but when the pitch has spent 2 days under covers it doesn't give the home team much of a chance.

Fair point.

Not Lancs' best day.

Not at all. Listened to quite a bit yesterday, and commentators said body language wasn't the best.

 

The Essex non-game perhaps took the stuffing out of them.

Hasseb fractured a finger

Poppadom fingers?

Okra

Devil's veg.

Just spotted Jennings and onions joined from durham

Decent signings them two.

 

Easy victory finished off now.. Decent finish of 2nd place.

 

Always good to finish above those inbred Hovis eaters.

Onions too- didn't know that.

 

I do feel a bit sorry for Durham though.

Josh Bohannon and Liam Hurt handed professional contracts today.

Over the moon for Josh.

Nearly ... Hamilton

Livingtone captain from next season

24 and 31 first class matches.

 

Obviously seen something in him to say captain material

 

Good luck to him

Faulkner signs again for next 2 T20 seasons.

Lancs will win the County Championship and T20 this season.
