Seems no one told the players

Feel like we really do need to get ahead the first few games though, not sure but I think this is the last game we will have Anderson playing for us. Anderson, Jarvis, Wagner, Kerrigan would be one of the better attacks but whoever replaces Annderson will be a massive step down.

but whoever replaces Anderson will be a massive step down.

unless its Tom Bailey or Saqib Mahmood

42/0 after 7, Brown on 35 off 28 and Hameed on 0 off 15

Goddamit, suppose I'll have to take a day off sledging Procter. If he goes on and gets a century I'm going to cry.

Bailey and Griffiths bowled pretty well for the 2nd XI against Derbyshire judging by the scorecard. Shame Smith only managed 8 overs all game, and none in the one dayer the other day, could really do with him being fit to bowl once Anderson goes.

Joe Clarke with another ton. Average of 47 and SR north of 60 is some start to his career.

Just got back from a pretty good day at Edgbaston, sadly Treso was out before we arrived. Abell was good though, nothing fancy but very solid. Warks will be pretty happy though, expect Trott and Bell to enjoy themselves tomorrow.

Not going to talk about Hampshire.

North v South one-day series: teams to be picked using computer programme - BBC Sport

Title basically clickbait unfort The premise is kinda interesting, shame it'll just be another selection game.

Burke got smashed by glamorgan seconds last week so it's no particular surprise he's been taking to the cleaners by Bairstow and Root. Ansari out with his hand again. Wouldn't be surprised if there was a retirement from him this season.

So I got this pretty badly wrong, surprised, it looked so good for batting yesterday.

Shame the North v South is only 50 overs. Might give South a chance of being competitive over a short timeframe.

Good to see Bairstow and Root finding form for the test series. We know Cook is in good nick so at least we have some players in the runs.

Also nice that Anderson picked a few up yesterday. Lancashire made a good start to the season.

 

[superkingdave]

Looks like we will only get the 3 batting points again, shame when you are only 2 wickets down but I think I can deal with that given I expected us to struggle to pass 250 this year.

 

[91Jmay]

Having Bairstow in County Championship is close to cheating at the moment. He is silly good.

Motherfu.......

 

[fredfertang]

107-8 is much more like what I expected from Lancs, not that it much matters on top of 349-2

 

[flibbertyjibber]

Could be a brilliantly timed collapse if you pick up 3 wickets tonight.

 

[fredfertang]

Pleased to get one tbh - less happy with tomorrow's weather forecast

 

[Scaly piscine]

Interesting the way they keep tweaking the points but bowling is still 1 point for taking 3 wickets in 110 overs. Which is ludicrous. It's like having batting points and giving them one for reaching 100. It will almost always happen regardless of how dire the performance is. It should be points at 5,7 and 9 wickets across 110 overs.
