Lancs have beaten Middlesex in the last over, they needed 12, scored 1, lost 2 wickets.

I know the book is a few years old but is Ben Stokes "on fire" a good read? Going away in a few weeks and need a good cricket book to read.

Not read Stokes' book but can recommend this as a good read.

Hearing Harry Brook has been left out of the World Cup squad. Absolute batshit insanity. Would be like not registering Haaland for the Champions League.

Sacrificed for Stokes looking for another glory innings.

Been that long since we played an ODI I can't actually remember what our first choice XI is but surely there is room for both ?

Bairstow
Malan
Root
Brook
Stokes
Buttler
Livingstone
S.Curran
Woakes
Rashid
Wood

Would be my XI

Looks like Bristol away in the Play-off/QF as predicted last week. Both Lancs and Gloucs strolling.

Must have clicked on the YouTube link 5 times today. And each time we lost wicket.

177 all out, not bad from where they were, at least there's a chance.

 

[Corky]

Gloucs were 1/16 at the interval now 1/50 making it look like a 300 wicket. It aint happening.

 

[cleavers]

at least there's a chance

or not.

65-1 off 11 overs.

Lancashire seem to crumble after the group stages, happens very often. Getting a battering today

Won two games after group stages last year to make the final. and the time before that was 2019 getting 300+ to beat Midds in the QFs.

Last time Lancashire lost the first game after the groups in the A List was 2012.

Shambles Lancs, Gloucestershire didn't even use half their overs.

Wank….

Especially after winning the toss.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

Not sure the toss or the pitch won or lost us the game today.

We‘re really short of decent batsmen. If the top 3-4 fail, we lose badly.
