Surpringly survived without losing a wicket.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

We’re reliant on Jennings, Bohannon and Harris to score all our runs. If they fail, we won’t make 150 very often.

 

[KS55]

A brilliant draw by Lancs!

 

[City Raider]

Harris is a class act.

No way we are taking 20 wickets often enough to win matches. Thought Jimmy was supposed to be playing?

Picked up an injury just before the start of the season. Supposed to be out around a month, so shouldn't be far away if all's gone well since.

He’s injured, I think.

We also don’t score quickly enough, so on the rare occasion we do get a decent total, it doesn’t give us time to bowl the opposition out twice.

It’s like watching England in the 90s again.

He should be back fit for the hundred.

He should be back fit for the hundred.

He’s not played any T20 cricket in over a decade.

His last one day game was in 2019.

Get the Burnley Lara opening the batting too.

They have been aware of the slow run rate for a while, I remember Jennings talking about it last season and nothing has changed.

If Lancs and the opposition both batted exactly 100 overs, the other team probably has a lead in the region of 60 or 70 run's just by being more positive.

Non of the team's selected him did they?

Jones is particularly pedestrian. Guess there’s a confidence issue too.

His FC average is okay 33 but it's nothing to write home about either. Really need to be looking to sign better players than this. Look at Surrey they are stacked and they are all Test players or have been.

 

[Gray]

Lancashire 5th of 8 teams in the second division.

Absolutely pathetic, and only 3 batting points.

There needs to be a huge shake up at that place, when I was a member some years back the Club used to boast that we had the largest membership in County Cricket.

The members should be protesting at what they are having to endure.

 

[City Raider]

Harris carrying us again.

 

[heslops barnet]

Harris carrying us again.

Thoroughly enjoyable day apart from the first hour & last ten minutes

 

[KS55]

What’s this?
Lancs win the toss and elect to bat!
Lancs get a decent score!
I’ll go to the foot of our stairs.

Pleasant day out at Lancs today after the rigours of last night.
Four wickets in about 7 hours of play.
My crystal ball is telling me this might just be yet another draw … hope not but Balderson seemed to be the only one with any potency, and I’ve no idea where Anderson is.

Nailed on draw…..not a lot in the wicket for our bowlers

Sir James still not match fit apparently, possibly be back later in the month

Didn't get to watch any of it today, was very surprised Wells didn't bowl, was he fielding? I know he went off injured batting but batted later, so might not have been able to turn his arm over?

He's a bit of a golden arm, and as part time leg spinners go he's pretty good.
