singe Posted September 18, 2018 Share Posted September 18, 2018 At least the games in hand are going relatively OK. Worcs 94ao Essex 189/4 1pt Yorks 184ao v Hants 0pts so far. Earlier I looked at several sites that said only 1 going down (including the formerly reliable cricinfo), but of course 2 go down. Practically impossible that Worcs get annihilated this match and recover to annihilate Worcs, AND Lancs recover to beat Hants. So many defeats and a tie from winnable positions, not mentally strong enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
singe Posted September 19, 2018 Share Posted September 19, 2018 Well, sometimes a session or two can change things. Yorks 184 v Hants 102-6 Yorks 2 pts but hoping for substantial 1st innings lead. Worcs 94 v Essex 295-5 Worcs toast. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted September 21, 2018 Share Posted September 21, 2018 If it rains all day, I think Lancs need a max win v Hants, and Yorks only need 2 pts v Worcs. With no rain predicted for either match. 3rd relegation in 5 years IIRC beckons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 After doing the hard work with the ball, and gaining the most bowling points of any team , the season has been condensed into a match. Batting collapse from 123/4 to 273ao missing the max points essential for a survival bid, sees Lancs relegated. Notts got 2 points, but they are well behind in their game. It could conceivably end up with Notts staying up on wins. It remains to be seen if Lancs can take a surgical scalpel to the squad that others have said needs doing. Surrey all out for 67 and Essex topping 400 int heir dead rubber! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lookersstandandy Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 We had a point deducted for slow over rate earlier in the season. We've just capitulated - again - when in sight of a batting bonus point. No team in Div 1 has more bowling point than us. Our top order has been a shambles this season. Both our football team and cricket county relegated back to back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosa Posted September 26, 2018 Share Posted September 26, 2018 We bought a house next to Boundary Park last September. Latics subsequently got relegated. I got leeslover a Lancashire shirt for our anniversary. Cue Lancashire getting relegated. It's a crying shame Rangers aren't selling any replica shirts this season, it really is.

Brown and Croft have underperformed for a while, but may do a job in Div 2. Shiv will surely retire. Vilas is far too much famine with the occasional feast. Not convinced Lilley, Lester, Lamb, Jones are good enough. Hopefully Hameed will come good again, but he's been out of nick for about 2 years now. Davies, Livingstone, Onions, Bailey, Parkinson, Bohannon and Gleeson then for the core next season. Jennings and Buttler as and when they're free. On 9/16/2018 at 9:34 AM, disjointed said: I'd stick with Hameed, technique is sound, most probably too much too soon. Should be able to score heavily in div 2. On 9/17/2018 at 7:10 AM, Hometownclub said: I agree with pretty much all of that especially re Brown and Croft. Hameed really has me undecided, I thought he would have done much better this year, as said maybe 2nd Division cricket will help him. Parkinson and Bohannon have been major pluses and I'm sure are still improving. Well, change is afoot. Lilley has gone. Shame he did not really shine, liked him as he was from Ashton and played at Delph& Dobcross. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

singe Posted April 8, 2019 Share Posted April 8, 2019 Not sure there has been much enough of an improvement in the side for Lancs 2019. Burns for 10 CC games Maxwell Gleeson from 2nd bottom Northants And a smatttering of youths. Released Clark Kerrigan Brown Lilley Watt. Kirikken becomes performance coach.

Never really understood why there are so few pre season friendlies in cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
