October 12, 20223 yr Very interesting members forum tonight. Looks like the L.A.G got everyone in a twist.
April 9, 20233 yr Cracking match at OT. Josh Bohannon leading the fight back. Matty Parkinson had a 5 fer as well. Draw more than likely now.

April 9, 20233 yr Indeed, after being quite a way short after first innings. Too many required to win i think in the time remaining.
April 16, 20233 yr Ageless Anderson done his former captain again, this time for a duck. Not sure ther is enough time left to win, but a good performance nonetheless.
April 16, 20233 yr That was some knock by tom Hartley, 73* off 50 balls, 5 sixes and 7 fours. The moreso as he is really a bowler who can bat a bit, rather than an all-rounder. [I've known his father for over 60 years!]

I doubt it, She is from East Lancashire but Tom and his father Bill are from Ormskirk area, where the family have been market gardeners for decades.

April 19, 20233 yr Met her in Hobart last year. Thanked her for letting me get served before her at a bar. (I was there first) In fact I think I thanked her 3 times.😊 Lovely girl. Had a chat with her, Steve Finn and Andy Zaltzman (Stato)

Not sure how her shag partner would have led me to think she was Tom's sister though. 😁 Anyway, as an aside, the new ground could be sort of starting fairly soon- just the problem of some potentially nesting birds currently in the way of what will be the wickets!
May 7, 20233 yr 4 hours ago, Tonge moor green jacket said: Could grab a tremendous win at Trent Bridge. but didn't. Hartley and Croft put on a swift 91 to rescue Lancs and set a demanding target. Notts were 55/6 but Clarke and Hutton took them to 122/7 (needing to reach 295 to win). Stuart Broad took anchor with Anderson bowling from one end and Hartley from the other, scoring 3 off 50 balls. Hartley took a wicket with the first ball of the final over but Olly Stone (tweaked hamstring in the field) came in and saw out the remaining 5 balls. Played 4 drawn 4, so only in 7th position in the table.
May 11, 20233 yr Going down to OT tomorrow. Disappointed when we elected to field as I thought we’d probably be batting and I’d miss Jimmy 🐐 bowling. Looks like the weather has changed that. Forecast much better tomorrow though.

May 11, 20233 yr Didn’t take long. It’s from the Mail so who knows.😊 https://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/cricket/article-11605239/amp/Cricket-fans-call-New-Years-Test-taken-AWAY-Sydney-wet-weather.html 'Fittingly for a city which loses more Test cricket to rain than Manchester, I was actually there on the fifth day and it was sunny and about 30deg. 🤷♂️ Edited May 11, 20233 yr by BobyBrno

Had plenty at OT.
