The joys of a wet day, which has seen Lancashire exit the RL Cup

Oh well, I guess we'll have to settle for just the 2 trophies...

Small consolation for Saturday

Not like you would have beaten the mighty Glamorgan anyway

Beat you fairly comfortably in the Championship...

 

[Baz]

Beat you fairly comfortably in the Championship...

Well yes but still need to be positive and all plus with your budget compared to ours you should be beating us most times

 

[Camborne Gills]

I suspect we have a fraction of both your budgets and we have made 2 QFs without an overseas player.

OK. we are shite in the LVCC, but still.............

 

[lordofthepies]

Kent have been magnificent in one day cricket this year. If I supported anyone else, I'd have been cheering them on in the t20 quarter finals too.

Yes but you have some quality players we have errr yeah haha

England under 19s captain Haseeb Hameed expected to make his Lancashire debut against Glamorgan today. He's meant to be one hell of a talent, so that's encouraging news.

However, Paul Horton has played his last game for Lancashire. Someone's going to get a pretty good batsman there.

We could end up playing four players under the age of 23 in this match too, two would be under 21 as well. Nice to see teams giving the youngsters game time right?

Not to mention the guy you've got playing for England under-19s, who probably would have played otherwise. Donald, is it?

Lancashire have got Kyle Jarvis, Ashwell Prince, Alviro Petersen and James Faulkner in the team today, but most of the team is home grown. I think some of the younger ones will continue to come through over the next few years.

 

[Baz]

Donald has been dropped for this match in favour of Lloyd I believe. Donald has a really bright future but they're picking and choosing his games at the moment. Salter and Bull are both young lads too, Salter is slightly more experienced but still pretty young.

Hales putting together one of the best CC knocks you'll see currently. 173 off 184 balls, 27 fours and 2 sixes.

If only the bloke could be remotely consistent

 

[Saddlerrad]

Hales 50 not out from 46 at home to Durham in the RL cup currently. Absoluetely creamed it at times. Looks so powerful even when he defends the ball. HAS to be involved with the England setup in all formats sooner or later. Even if it's based on potential only in the test arena. Far worse players have had a proper go.

 

[Camborne Gills]

Rain delay. Probably reduce the overs to 40-42

 

[blademan89]

Get in there yorkshire yorkshire yorkshire the double is on

 

[Camborne Gills]

Mugged off by the D/L tonight, lost 10 overs but only 22 runs (?)

Well done Colesy though

 

[Bobbin']

Yep, gutting.

So close to two semi finals this year.

[Ciderhead]

That's just bizarre

 

[JJH]

Yorkshire away in the RL cup Semi - should be interesting!

 

[JJH]

Shit start to finals day for Brum - they're 3 down in the second over!

Trying to get a few mates together for it - not been successful as yet, but I am planning on going! Should be a cracking day.

 

[Pyeman]

I had to miss finals day to attend a friends birthday.

A Lancashire win would be a more than satisfactory consolation and also an excellent excuse to have a few extra drinks later.

Come on boys!!!

 

[TomPNE94]

Afridi you lucky c***

 

[TomPNE94]

Fuck me that went a long way

 

[Pyeman]

Fuck me that went a long way

Afridi needs to go soon.

 

[lordofthepies]

SHIT! Are we about to finally win this thing? Surely, even we can't fuck this up... Can We...?

 

[Camborne Gills]

On the one hand we lost to the winners, but on the other, I really wish Northants had won (always support the underdog)
