I think the unnatural Lancashire air/grass has badly affected our players. However looks like rain to me and they should call it off now as a precaution ;)

Never did like 20/20, 14/14 is even worse ! Well played L*****,*ire I guess :cry:

Well that was close, great from both sides but once again the Red Rose prevails.:cool:

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again!!!!
 

A game of 'proper' 4 day cricket starts Sunday, then we'll see which rose is best ;)

l bet it got you into a muck sweat though.:)

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again!!!!
 

Result was never in doubt. :shocked: possibly one of the best T20 matches I have seen and as a test match fan I still found it immensely entertaining.

Busy day for me on Friday 10th of August due to the TV scheduling idiots who just don’t give a damn or use any common sense.

Lancashires’ last home game in the T20 group stage starts at 6:30 on August th, Man United kick off at the other Old Trafford at 8:00 the same evening.:mad:

I will go to the cricket then leave early to watch the footy, the chaos on the local transport system doesn’t bear thinking about.:(

Yorkshire won the toss and decided to bat.:D

Looking at the scorecard it appears that Clark got a hat trick.

Some hat trick , Joe Root, Kane Williamson and Jonny Bairstow .:cool:

That’s the world ranked 3rd 4th and 16th test batsmen in the world.

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

How come Yorkshire with all their resources and England players like Plunkett available are able to sign a bowler, Poysden from another county for just this one game.

It’s like United borrowing Harry Kane for a match, stupid rules.:rolleyes:

Will be a huge blow for Lancashire if Livingstone takes no further part. As Habeeb is a walking wicket they are 2 down before they start.

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

Interesting game looks like it could be over in 2 days. Don't think they've all switched off from 20/20 mode. Oh for Geoffrey Boycott to make a come back (his recent quadruple heart bypass might delay his return to the squad though ;) )

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

TBH Both teams have batted poorly all season long in red ball cricket, that’s why they are near the bottom of the table.

Haseeb Hameed might as well leave his bat at home, he has been out four times in his last five innings not playing a stroke and scored very few runs either.:rolleyes:

Yorkshire already 21 for 3, all caught by the keeper, it is a really steamy, overcast morning, just hope the sun breaks through later.

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

Unusual for Yorkshire to be struggling as they are usually nearer the top rather then the basement.

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

Bairstow and Brook digging in now, already have to many runs on the board by the looks of it.:(

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

Disaster in the last couple of overs, Joss Buttler, Lancashire’s only real hope got out to Joe Root of all people.:(

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

Drinking into your beer tonight then Jim.:D

Re: English cricket hits rock bottom again !
 

They think it's all over - it is now!
