jsslatic Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Could Somerset declare and make a game of it? They'd have a good shot at wickets knowing we'd be chasing hard... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
24hoursfromtulsehill Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Could Somerset declare and make a game of it? They'd have a good shot at wickets knowing we'd be chasing hard... That's one scenario - another scenario has Hampshire unwisely setting up a chase for Warwickshire. Two wickets, bomb on with the batting. Simple.

LaticsLen Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Could Somerset declare and make a game of it? They'd have a good shot at wickets knowing we'd be chasing hard... Somerset to declare at 300 or there abouts leaving us 200 to chase in about 30 overs would do me now. Only problem is if Somerset declare soon you can see Hampshire doing likewise later leaving Warks chasing 150 in about 17 overs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikejh45 Posted September 15, 2011 Author Share Posted September 15, 2011 Somerset all out for 310. Hopefully Lancs won't commit batting suicide and go on and get 211 to win. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLatic Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Somerset all out for 310. Hopefully Lancs won't commit batting suicide and go on and get 211 to win. 211 from 30 or so overs. My nerves can't take this!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leeslover Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Teams regularly make that in 20 these days. Game on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pukka Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) 211 from 30, teams do get that in 20, but with "men in the circle" and power plays. Bat sensibly for 10 overs then have a swing. Edited September 15, 2011 by pukka Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opinions4u Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I've just read 16 over plus 90 minutes. So about 37 overs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThaiLatic Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 211 from 30 (is it on the red button?) There's live commentary here http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/cricket/14880338.stm And hundreds of tweets here http://twitter.com/#!/LancsCCC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Game not on TV (red button or other-wise) at the moment - wonder if Sky will switch games IF it gets to the point that our result is the critical one (at present its still possible for War to win)? I have Radio 5Live Xtra on and the TV on whilst I "work from home" today... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsslatic Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Scenario: Lancs are 9 down with 1 to win. Warks have drawn and it's the last ball of the day? Does the batsmen get himself out, thus securing a tie rather than a draw and the title for Lancs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Also - I think the fact we have now bowled them out cannot see Hampshire declaring? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does the batsmen get himself out, thus securing a tie rather than a draw and the title for Lancs? I believe the rules will award half of the win points to Lancs if scores are level.

LaticsLen Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Hampshire 5 down now 255/5 lead of 86 but Mckenzie is still in 72 n/o Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scapegoat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 I believe the rules will award half of the win points to Lancs if scores are level. But my rulebook was back in the 1980s! Definitely 8 points for a tie - whether we are all out or not. Cannot imagine it getting to that though. Can still see the other result going against us - only 87 ahead and the 5 wickets going down quickly. Could get to the stage where both teams are in a similar position regards a run chase in terms of number of runs required and overs left i.e. we knock some of the total to make it the same as Hampshire's lead when they are all out. Then its a real game of cat and mouse - go for it and risk getting bowled out, or hope that the other team loses and the draw is good enough?

LaticsLen Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Tea time and Lancs 32-0 after 5 overs need 179 more runs to win from 60 minutes + 16 overs (for the last hour starting at 4.30pm) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scapegoat Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 Now live on Sky - come on Lancs. Nearly Run-out dirst ball.....*gulp*. Only a couple of cameras at the ground so not best coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
