Think we've found a player here

Remarkable.

Another quality sportsman of senior age (over 40) and still going.

Doubt we'll see him skriking.

Oh dear

[Traf]

Very poor today.

Relegated.

Then again, they did appoint a coach who finished bottom of Division 2 with 0 wins out of 14 the season before...

Good win against Somerset, but too little, too late.

Poor weather hasn't helped, but performances just not good enough. 

Can it all be placed on coaching though?

[paulhanley]

They've been poor all season really. Decimated by international call ups of various sorts but even so it feels Lancs have been blooding too many youngsters all in one go in a pressure situation. 

No doubt they'll be back in Div 1 before long but the constrast between how we go about our business and Surrey theirs is pretty stark.

[maaarsh]

Think the club needs several rather different resigns to move forward.

This is going to be brilliant, 10 minutes from me… will spend plenty time here.

It'll be good to see them playing more games actually in Lancashire.

Proposals for widening some nearby roads.

That in itself is a bit controversial, but I can see some traffic problems at times.

It’s not great around here as it is…. Crickets on 3-4 months and the road widening might help things when completed.

Good news and nice hat. Hopefully see him again in action some time this summer.

Early days but doesn't look like a quick return to Division 1.

No sign of Jimmy yet and they can't bowl teams out and can't bat either, apart from that.....

Batting has been good at times in fairness.

Just not consistent. 

Weather can't be helping- loads of draws and clearly bowlers can't be getting much help from atmospheric conditions and dry pitches.

Dunno what folk think, but the large disparity between points for a win and points for a draw quickly leaves a team stranded.

Obviously it helps to force teams to push for a win, and should help the spectacle, but the sunny weather this time is unique. 

This area, the North West, has really suffered from the lack of rain- parts of the south have had some downpours, where as we haven't.

Jennings stepped down as Captain.

Have you any information as to whether he is regarded as a good captain?

I've no idea, just curious. 

[BobyBrno]

Jimmy back today. For Lancs sake, win toss and bat. For my sake, hope to see The Goat bowling on a beautiful day. Hopefully Marcus Harris judgement will be better than Jennings. Factor 30 on. Anyone going down remember.

Slip, slop, slap, seek, slide. 👍🏏

Had decent 2 days, but nothing won yet.  

There was a good article in The Times earlier in the week by Mike Atherton about the sorry state of affairs at OT.  He stated that many were unhappy with the coach Benkenstein rather than Jennings plus the club's obsession with franchise cricket and non cricket activity to the detriment of LCC. The club has considerable debt after redeveloping the ground.
