The others don't play much anyway, and the rest are the regulars, with one or two new ones coming in. Not sure if jennings is injured but he's not scored well this season. I know they dont play, but thats my point Its a weak competition these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same for all sides though, and the competition as a whole is still exciting when in with a chance of winning something. We may lose Parkinson in the future too if he continues to take wickets.

paulhanley Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 What a bloody meal we ended up making of that Who cares Come on Somerset. County Championship for Lancs has happened once in my lifetime and only that same once (sole champions for my Dad). And he was only at primary school in 1950 when we shared it with Surrey. Rare stuff. Tomorrow is a big day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare stuff. Tomorrow is a big day. Yep. My dad was 10 when they won it outright in 1934. He waited his whole life to see them win it again but never did. 10 years ago, I shut up shop and went into town to watch the last few overs on tv in a pub. Struggled to find any that was showing it and ended up in The York. Had to persuade them to turn it over from some shit day time tv to watch a moment in history. I watched it on my own. The day time regulars grunted a bit but I wasn’t to be denied. 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The day time regulars grunted a bit but I wasn’t to be denied. 🤞 Too right! I was at work that day, keeping in touch indifferently at first because the odds going in to that last day didn't look good. Ironically it was Warwickshire v Hampshire. We need Hampshire to hold out but they were already three wickets down going in to day 4. Despite already being relegated they did stubbornly bat out the day and we won our game at Taunton. A real feeling of elation that evening. This time ... well we're obviously watching from the sidelines and hoping Somerset can do us a favour. I reckon they'll have to bat out about 85 or 90 overs. Warks having nothing to lose really. They'll thrash 120 off 20 overs or thereabouts and give themselves those 80 or 90 to bowl Somerset out for 270 or less. It seems it's been a good Edgbaston wicket. Let's hope that remains the case and that it doesn't start turning too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually love Somerset - it's a beautiful county but their batting form has been hopeless late-season and we've paid for that today. It's a strong young squad so let's hope that we have a few more shots at the title in Septembers to come. I guess today would feel a whole lot worse without 2011 in our back pockets.

Normally go to Prague this week in the year, apart from last year. Decided on a Uk break. Had the choice of north, south, (London) east or west. Decided north, Edinburgh, Bad choice. My wife would have loved to have gone to Lords on her birthday. 😊 She’s not a cricket fan but has the SCG, Newlands and Old Trafford on her list of iconic grounds visited.
