What an atmosphere. Who remembers this game. David Hughes!

Watching the intro to the lancs game. Total oversell. It’s being forced fed as to how good it’s going to be, how great the players are, are wonderful the fireworks will be, what a fantastic crowd and what a great game it’s going to be. It demeans Flintoff and Keys. It’s like listening to a couple of used car salesmen selling an old banger to an uninterested teenager.

It’s hard to know what to say after reading that. I’m not sure I should even try, but anyway…. Your story is possibly the most moving I’ve ever read on here. Thanks for that.

I watched last nights hundred game on tv. Not sure what to make of it to be honest. On the one hand you have some quality players on show, on the other hand it looks just like a watered down, kids version of t20 cricket. 5 ball spells of bowling, ten ball spells of bowling. Who’s coming through the tunnel to bat next? Umpires waving huge white cards around. What’s all that about and what does it bring to the game? Obviously it’s an English version of the IPL, but will it work - is there room for this to sit next to the t20 comps - or is it meant to replace it?

If we’re looking for the reason why this club is in the state it’s in, then ultimately it’s down to the Walker Trustees. Jack Walker would never have made that sale.

It was tortuous watching Malan, I thought he was going to cost us the game. Alternatively, as Broad said, with him sticking around he prevented the lower order from being exposed sooner than they were.…and yes, I was sure Livi was going to knock that second six. That would have been some finish. T20 has really taken off though. Some of the techniques these guys have developed are extraordinary, but that pitch wasn’t conducive to this format of cricket.

Aren’t Lancashire one of, if not THE richest club in England? If so, where are those profits going?

Lancs 11 points, yorks 8 points I believe. 8 points for getting hammered for two days then having the game abandoned because your pitch wasn’t up to scratch? Surely yorks should be docked points?

I’ve been impressed by Saqib for quite some time. Pace, control and movement. He could make the test squad as well as the one day squad. Unfortunately I can’t see the same for Parky - as much as he’s loved by the lancy fans. He’s a bit of a sitting duck for the better batsmen that choose to go after him.

Watched it on YouTube Gumboots.

Then they might as well close the rest of it as well.

I miss the days of Truman and Statham playing front of a 30,000 Old Trafford crowd. County cricket has gone the way of the FA cup. A real shame.

Taking players out of county teams that are currently mid game? Loud and clear, county games are not important are they.

Interview with a very level headed Jimmy after his 7 wicket haul.

Just listening to her now. “Never enough “ wonderful voice.

YouTube is fantastic for music @Darrenbot. Anything, everything. I’ll have a listen to morissette later..

Me and the Mrs regularly settle down and watch music on YouTube. Just watched Joe Cocker singing a little help from my friends at Woodstock. Iconic.

I think Chapman’s a very lucky boy.

They’ll make him president of Chile soon.

I miss that. Bring back the Hunters, the Bremners, the Vinny Jones’s, the Tommy Smiths, the Glenn Keeleys. None of this tippy tappy, backwards sideways crap from them.

At this rate, he’s going to be lifting the Jules Rimet Trophy in 2026.

Talk the club and prospects down. Retain a failing manager seemingly forever. Push the prices up. Hmmm? and the brains/thinking behind this is………..

If I hadn’t seen this I would never have believed it.

That came out of the blue, Bracey caught one. Then he dropped another catch. Worst England keeper ever.☹️
