Lancashire C C C

[Piemon]

Batted well today and got into a strong position to win the game.

Could be a tight finish this.

Disgraceful performance this weekend at Essex. 

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

He certainly favvers his Dad

 

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Although, to be fair, that bowling was dog shit

Some of those off-side shots were Root-esque. Played late and using the pace on the ball.

Just had a look, he's only 16- looks big already on that clip.

A few pies chucked down.

Saw him bowl at St Anne's CC 2 years ago. He wasn't anything special. Unless he's now become a batter.....

He would have been 14.

Is that a bit too young to determine if he will make it as a bowler, or can coaches tell by then if a player has the required attributes?

him and his brother in that team

Looking a bit bleak at the moment. 

What's going on?

[Piemon]

The cricket side of the club has been mismanaged for too long. See long list of players doing it for other counties after parting ways with Lancashire. (Hameed A Davies M Parkinson) 

losing Villas Croft and DMitchell from the middle order from last season wasn't well planned. Most teams in the land would miss those 3. (Although it time for villas and Croft)
 

We are producing good quality young players so in that regard the future is bright. Balderson, Bell, Hurst all looking at home in the CC .

Ben Stokes and Durham at Blackpool this weekend. Need a win 🌹

What are the main issues then?

If some youthful players are looking good, why isn't it working overall?

Didn't realise so many had gone, but they ought to be replaceable.

Salt, buttler, livingstone, wood at ipl

County cricket is an absolete sham

Dead on its feet

Make it u23 only

Made £5m profit but team is a bloody shambles

Is that cos of a test match and getting paid for our england players?

Ive no idea of the funding model but i see no reason to sign the likes of buttler and salt

Unless it brings money on

Like i say, its hard to get worked up when its nothing like the strongest contracted 11

[maaarsh]

Clearly a broader rot - we didn't have most of those players for large sections of recent years when we've been consistently in the top 3 sides - suddenly with a new coach we're total garbage and going straight down to the joke league.

This was the money side -

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Is Paul Allott still involved?

It'd be no surprise we're so shit if he is

The whole 2nd x1 comp is dogshit.

 

[maaarsh]

Signs of life so far today. The team on paper is no weaker than the one which won plenty the last few years - from the state of their social media in the last week seems even internally they'd clocked someone needed to be near the last chance saloon if this continued

[maaarsh]

Job done!

Aye.

Well done, and credit where it's due.

When they were three down, and doing well I was a bit concerned. Then even at the last wicket, you're still concerned that the centurion might let rip!

But, well done in the end.

[Tonge moor green jacket]

Mammoth win against Kent.

Things looking bit better now.

[Lt. Aldo Raine]

Louis Kimber with an unbelievable innings for Leicestershire

Fastest ever double hundred (balls faced), highest ever number of sixes in an innings, and a record breaking 43-run over (against England's Ollie Robinson)
