Have a watch at the video- human metronome. 

Superb. Absolute machine.

Went yesterday and sat in the pavilion so was eager to watch from that view. I still think Jimmy is bowling within himself but his accuracy and skill are immense. His ability to move the ball ball away, away, away away then bang in swing. Created 3 chances in his first 2.5 overs.

Great start for Lancs. today in the Blast. Nice to see the two Parkinson’s head to head on the field. The two NZ lads are settling in well.

Another good win for Lancs last night. Off to Surrey v Sussex today.

I've just seen Alex Hales completley destroyed by a rip-snorter from Luke Wood. On the Wisden web site.

Inswinging yorker that sends the stump cart-wheeling.

I did feel a bit better earlier seeing a family of Bradford City fans who had clearly taken the same gamble.

Ah well. It’s a nice day for cricket! 

Bad day at the office today for Lancs.

Losing to Yorkshire B

Whatever next

Under par performance with the bat against Durham? Buttler another disappointing knock. Hopefully the bowlers can turn it round. 

Was down at OT today. The seating in front of the new hotel is being installed and the ‘party stand’ is being erected. Going to look fantastic for both the Roses and t’ashes matches. 
Can’t wait.

Nice little cameo by Jos Buttler today. Others chipped in with more but it was worth the money to see a world class batsman at his (brief) best.

Decent day out. If the rain had come back 5 mins earlier would have been a different result. 

Good win and a good night at Old Trafford last night. Always love a Friday night 20/20

Butler and Livingstone finally finding a bit of momentum.

Beat the Yorkies next week to get us into the quarters with a bit of form. 

Thought there was very much a determination from the (eventual) start to increase the run rate, just in case. 

Bailey on fire

If they beat Surrey here it'll be a fine result. We had trouble knocking their last five wickets over in the first innings. Hopefully here the overnight rest will freshen us up enough to finish it off in the morning.

In with a chance of chasing 429

Making a fist if it as they say. Wonder if Leyther Matt got his chips.😊

I did 😀 one hell of a chase in the end (second innings, not the chippy) but always up against it after such a low first innings total
