Smith and Dawson can both score runs.

Nice comfortable victory coming up for Lancs.

It’s looking good. This pair scoring at a decent clip. Boho and Jennings.
Things have really looked up since we got some top players back and that fool of a coach was sacked.

Just cramp, thankfully.

Cramp in the groin. That takes me back…

Er......

Easy easy.

As they will be when a draw is agreed in 90 minutes…

Ok if you say so

Ok. Can it now be said that Bazball has been officially abandoned, or is this a new, savvier version of it?

Also: does Root have an argument for being England's greatest ever test batsman? I know there's serious competition — going all the way back to Denis Compton!

(Just looked up Compton's Wiki, incidentally — I confess that I was unaware that he was a seriously good footballer. Don't know how that escaped me all these years…).

I presume that nobody on here saw W.G. Grace? Calling @oakiecokie maybe?

They were going at five an over at one point they still four an over now is still very good better than most teams do!

Can't stand another test of this fan boy DK. Mute and TMS.

I think you’ll find my doom and gloom post was the catalyst for that victory ;-)

 

[meeesh]

Lancs could still go up yet

Apparently - it was a decade or so before my time - Grace was to cricket what Donald Trump is to golf - an utter cheat. He refused to be or until he decided to be out. Utter **** by all accounts

 

[GaudinoMotors]

The usual complacency.

Yes the good news is that the team in second place, who they haven’t catch, is Glamorgan and we have to play them twice. The bad news is 2 of our 4 remaining games are at OT where I think there’s been a lot of drawn games this season

He’s like the Liverpool Echo. ‘How being 200 runs behind could work in India’s favour’..

 

[discopop]

Siraj giving large when he’s been sent around the ground for a ton plus is prime fuckwit behaviour

Still a slim chance then.....just

 

[waspish]

Looks like we playing more to take time out the game, with 2 full days left! We want the pitch to deteriorate more! With lead we have you’d of thought smith woakes would of gone more attacking otherwise
