What’s your fucking problem pal… Who you calling ‘tetchy’ and WTF does it mean?? Good job I’m not angry.

Exactly. ;-)

Who do you support if you’re from Preston? Manchester or Northern superchargers?

who ever wins, or united or liverpool surely ;-)

That’s an unoriginal view. ;-)

Ended up close in the men’s final. Rockets should just creep over the line I reckon.

Just checked the score now. Yep closer than I thought but 'Nottinghamshire' won as expected so I feel vindicated in not watching the second innings.

Yay real cricket back today. Good start by Lancs in the Roses match 90-0 at lunch thanks to Wells/Jennings.

Looks like 1.5 days will be lost to rain, but similar in a lot of places, bonus points will be the main priority.

Wells out just before tea grrr for 84.
Lancs 181-1.

251/6

Hill got all 6.

We can’t say Lancs aren’t creating players for England.

England would be proud of this collapse.

Who is this George Hill, a demon bowler?

What a collapse

New on the block. 21. Doesn’t look rapid, just bowled it in the right area today.

Weather, new ball and the need to accelerate the run rate. Pitty the side has 2 specialist spinners. Bill should bag a few tomorrow, still looking like a weather affected draw.

272-8 at close.

Heard that Bairstow was being a bit stupid when he broke his leg. Jumping out of a moving golf buggy? Hard to see how you can break your leg playing golf without being silly.

Just a freak injury however it happens. He could as easily have fallen down his stairs or misjudged a kerb.

Martin Stensgard having to retire from football at the age of 21 due to a “freak ironing board incident” probably being the most bizarre one.

Lucas Radebe had a lengthy spell out after falling putting his bins out too.

Still very disappointing though Corky !

Sometimes poor batting leads to an unlikey win which wouldn't have been possible if we get 450 and batted until the weather tomorrow. It looks like we needed up the rate to claim 4 or 5 batting points, but in doing so could miss out on a certain 3.

Just batted badly after Jennings was out, however it clouded over having been sunny, and then they took the new ball, and the young lad bowled well.
