Cricket Thread

Reflects a poor approach to cricket at Lancs. We are a corporate hospitality and hotels group (evidenced by the state of the ground) with a cricket team attached as an inconvenience. When did we last go out and sign a top notch player or a renowned coach? Rely pretty much on players coming through the academy, with the odd overseas signing and ex players as coaches. I guess there’s no money in red ball cricket so Lancs have got zero interest.
 
Lancashire need to go and get an overseas replacement for Mitch Perry asap. This team has desperately needed someone capable of bowling out the tail for a few years now, so that needs prioritising. Harris should be back for the next game, no Idea about Jennings injury situation though.
We need a wicket taking spinner ideally. Hartley just isn’t good enough to be first choice.

I agree about Hartley but when we had Nathan Lyon in the team it made no difference. I'd rather we got a quality quick bowler in because if Anderson gets injured then we are right in the shit.

Why have Lancashire not brought in a spinner that's homegrown? Harrison moved to Northampton, bowl's leg spin, is a decent bat, and took a shit load of wickets against Lancashire at OT last season. Bashir is another that has just moved counties.

There must be a wrist spinner around. I’m not sure Bashir has it between the ears to be a top bowler.

Agree on a quick bowler though, or at least one that can lead an attack at least.

I haven't seen much of Bashir at county level tbh, I was just using him as an example of another spinner that was available. I'd have definitely been in for Harrison though and I doubt he's moved to Northants on big money, still only 27 and tbh you need a leg spinner at OT.

Even Mason Crane might have been worth a punt.

Lancashire have a shit hierarchy and probably won’t spend the necessary cash
