Fucking abysmal Sky

Lancashire unbroken 9th wicket stand 107

Probably not a bad idea. Was even mentioned a few times on the live thread on the BBC website that it was chaos getting in. No idea why, not like it's the first time they've hosted a Test. There was even nearly a full house in for the Lancs v Yorks T20 last week and nothing like the difficulties getting in then.

I was also at that match, and have been to a few games this year and have never waited more than a couple of minutes.

Seems strange, but not a good look for Lancs unfortunately.

Strange scorecard for Leicestershire. Three of their batsman hit Centuries, the other 8 failed to make double digits!

Abysmal bowling.

 

[waspish]

We not bowled well this morning but India been a bit lucky with some of there play and missing!

Good to see that Lancs are as well organised off the pitch as they currently are on it. People queueing for well over an hour to get into ground. Someone has said there are literally just 2 lanes of stewards checking every bag. Shambles.

Welcome to Old Trafford Cricket ground…..totally clueless

I'm there at the weekend, might give myself a bit more time than I first planned

Night before might be a good idea?

Been appalling for years, building and rebuilding temporary stands, seemingly no plan. Badly run club in my view

You’re not the only one I’m afraid

Must be an Old Trafford thing

Too many references to the red shite, but I suppose you'd expect that with sky.
Surprised they're not showing the Class of 92 at lunch.

Wheel out Mike Atherton he is a bloody Rag.

the colour red and cricket don't mix well (apart from the ball) - our duck egg blue has been replaced by a crimson tide.

Not convinced by Carse. Atkinson's the better bowler.

I've always preferred Headingley, there's a better feel about the place

 

[KS55]

Can somebody tell me why Blatherwick is in the Lancs team?

didn't used to be - always had aura of concrete toilet block for me.

He can give it a bit of welly with the bat but his bowling is not up to scratch I agree. Great name though.

OT feels bleak to me, Headingley more like a friendly cricket venue

And one of those centuries a 150 !

From 0 for 2 to 360 for 3 to all out for 398. Astonishing scores.
