Couple of Kolpak signings made today.

 

Shivnarine Chanderpaul and South African international wicketkeeper Dane Vilas.

 

Also looking to sign a big name for the T20.

Starting to think Allott and Chapple may be deranged. Signed another spinner, 3rd in the last month, making 6 in the squad now even before you count the 3 other part timers.

 

And as a result they've dropped one of the best young prospects in the country for an overseas player with exactly the same first class average.

 

Just bizarre that 3 signing announcements in a row, they've repeatedly gone for the 1 position where we already have plenty of quality options. Meanwhile our batters can't remember what a run looks like.

Does seem odd. I see Bolton school's finest did well again.

He's going to end up disappearing if he can't get his act together.

if we get beat by these we are in serious trouble

Unbelievable win today, don't know where that came from!

Bolton's Bohannon

Just back from holiday, delighted to see the win. Need another Bohannon special today alas.

 

Hameed not in the team...

Lancs 72/5 at lunch

Some really poor performances this season

Might see it later today in the 2nd innings

One for the pitch inspector by the looks of it so far

Don't know what the fuss is. Win the toss, bat, openers batting at 5:30 - top job.

7/2

 

them 2 could come home now

 

their match is over 

Could be one of the lowest totals to win by an innings

Lancs putting up some fight on what must be a very poor pitch!!

Could win this

Chasing 78, Somerset are 43/6.

 

[if only Casino hadn't sent two fielders home earlier!]

For some reason, one of em has come on to bowl

Could be one of the lowest totals to win by an innings

 

Melbourne Test 1932.

South Africa 36 & 45.

Australia 153.

 

[googled]

 

Aged 48, Herbert Ironmonger took 5 for 6 and 6 for 18, as well as scoring 0*.

Game on, it seems

Like a Bolton League pitch when I was batting

What a farce. Somerset will get a deduction, but sadly there is no mechanism to compensate us.

Wow. A tie.

What a game.

Tied!

Maharaj might turn out to be a genius signing. Could be a vital few points.

 

Was thinking something similar to maaarsh before, it could be a poor day for Somerset, many point not earned then potentially losing some. Lance will have to console themselves with a tremendous exhibition of fighting spirit.
