When we won in in 2015 Jimmy Faulkener was 6 and a young lad from Barrow was 7 (Livi) and Lilley at 8 could bat a bit.

A bowling all rounder as an overseas player would probably be better next season.

As long as we have someone else who can bat up the order though! We all knew we'd looked short with the bat since livi left and yesterday proved it.

Did you go? We had a top day out, slightly ruined by the last 20 mins or so
 
Lancs have made an official complaint to The ECB about the umpiring and the amount of no balls which were not called(apparently there were at least 3 occasions a no ball wasn't called)

Don't think it's going to overturn the result but it was very poor umpiring last night although Lancs are partly to blame as they had it in the bag and messed up big time

Lilley has opened for Leicestershire and is a useful 'hitter' at the top of the order. I'm sure he did it for Lancs as well. Like you said Corky, that wins you T20 competitions
Parky's a great bowler but is one place to high at 11! Gleeson doesn't fill me with any confidence, Hartley likewise, although I know he did it against Birmingham in the final round of games.

Off to watch the mighty Hyde in Cheshire County League finals day at Nantwich. Same format 4 teams. Fingers crossed.
 
Just looked at the score...

I'm hoping for an actual tight contest this match. One sided affairs from either side aren't that great of a watch.

Just read about that here.

Lancashire argue final-ball umpiring error cost them T20 Blast title

MCC clarify that the ball was considered dead after McDermott broke the stumps at the keeper's end

Getting a bit Formula One in the worst possible sense for me. I.e results being disputed for hours and days after the event has finished.

I'm not a fan of results getting overturned after the event has finished and I agree a lot of the loss was down to Lancs bottling it.
