The women are actually ahead of what India were at (nearly) half way, but India had a big acceleration in the last few overs, so it still looks a tough ask, 201 of 26 overs.

The rate isn’t an issue at the moment. 4 wickets down is. We need a huge partnership if we’re going to win.

Or just relegate them, farce of a pitch for a 4-day game. Thankfully Lancs won so Essex got fuck all for their incompetence.Ridiculous. Fine them £5m

It wasn't just the pitch though, I watched a lot of it, and there was some rank bad batting from both teams, and the bowling was excellent too.Or just relegate them, farce of a pitch for a 4-day game. Thankfully Lancs won so Essex got fuck all for their incompetence.
When we batted yesterday evening under the floodlights, they should have gone off for bad light about 1/2 an hour before they did, I thought it was poor umpiring to be honest, eventually they were forced to bowl spin under the lights.

It was poor captaincy from Essex too there though. Bowling spin last night gave Lancs 20ish free runs.It wasn't just the pitch though, I watched a lot of it, and there was some rank bad batting from both teams, and the bowling was excellent too.

Oooops.Game over in the ODI unless Ecclestone or Kemp score a mega hundred.
I turned it off at the half way stage as we were never getting that score, just following it online now.

Imho, what there shouldn't be is "made up" competitions taking up most of the summer, and pushing "real" cricket to the extreme ends of it.Should there be County Cricket in the couple of weeks of September? Still another round to go yet !!!
I don't mind it still being played into late September personally, as the weather is generally better than in April.

The women did well to get it under 100 with a decent last wicket partnership, but it was far to big a task to get that target.

It lasted 126 over for 40 wickets. That can't be right surely? It was an incredible win by Lancy and goes to show its hard to entirely kill off a cricket game part of which is it's beauty.Apparantly (according to the commentary team, I haven't checked) Essex had one that didn't last 4 sessions last year.
But as a former batsmen myself for Prestwich 3rds and the Moseley Arms I love watching good batting but where is it nowadays?

Yes I agree with the fact that the “Cricket-lite” stuff pushes the real game out.Imho, what there shouldn't be is "made up" competitions taking up most of the summer, and pushing "real" cricket to the extreme ends of it.

Personally would like to see the season end mid September.
The barrage of International T20s, the Hundred etc can go but they are the crowd pleasers.
Second rate one day Cup maybe ok to blood fri he players I suppose.
