A more even contest today/night, could still go either way.

Two bad decisions turned the game, firstly Stokes/Buttler using DRS when they both knew Stokes had hit it, then the appalling LBW against Curran who had no appeal left. :rolleyes:

The still young Lancashire batsman Haseeb Hameed scores his first ‘first class’ century since 2016 following a double hundred in a warm up game last week. Let’s just hope for his, Lancashire and England’s sake that he has turned a corner and come through his past two seasons of purgatory. In some ways it mirrors the mistakes made in Jimmy Andersons early career when people who thought they knew better tried to mess with Andersons unusual action.

Apparently Hameed has spent two years trying to hit the ball harder to make progress in the white ball game to the detriment of his natural technique.

Indeed we are a bit bare in that department currently.

Things are going much better at the other Old Trafford where I am also a member. Young Lancashire (and England) bowler Saqib Mahmood has put two seasons of injury problems behind him and is knocking them over for fun. 6 for 37 against Northants last week and 5 for 14 today as they skittled the Foxes for 80 all out.:)

International season starts tomorrow, Eng v Ireland in Dublin. Forecast of 8c and possible drizzle, nice !

World Cup at the end of this month, then the Ashes. These things don't seem as exciting as they used to. Too much cricket or I've got old ? ;)

Stop moaning Victor as you should be grateful that you have so many opportunities to watch the cricket and have a bottle of wine at the same time.;)
