Hope springs eternal - expect the wicket at Southport tomorrow to be reportedLancashire have signed Keshav Maharaj for the last 4 County Champ games. Him and Parkinson could be a nice spin duo.
Reckon he'll score big in Division 2 next year, given that he shouldn't be wearing the three lions againIf Lancs do go down, Jennings's move will have secured one extra year of ''division one cricket'' for himself.
Lancashire are set to hand a debut to South Africa left-arm spinner Keshav Maharaj, who has signed an overseas deal for the final four Championship matches.
Maharaj replaces Australian seamer Joe Mennie, who was available for this game but returns home to Adelaide to prepare for his home summer.
Worcestershire will almost certainly be without stand-in captain Moeen Ali because of England Test duty.
He could feasibly come in midway through the game as a replacement if he is not selected for Thursday’s fourth Test against India at Southampton. But that would seem unlikely.
The Pears overseas player is Maharaj’s compatriot, the left-arm seamer Wayne Parnell, who took two wickets on Championship debut at Yorkshire last week.
Parnell will be replaced by India spinner R Ashwin for the final two games of the season.
No rumour about it, skint and have nobody left.Jack Brooks gone now, to Somerset, three-year contract! The rumour is Yorkshire have launched mass pay cuts hence exodus.
Can Colin Graves not put his hand in his pocket?No rumour about it, skint and have nobody left.
What happened to them ?No rumour about it, skint and have nobody left.
Still clinging on to that hope ?Hope springs eternal - expect the wicket at Southport tomorrow to be reported
By a thread - given he went wicketless am hoping for some runs from MaharajStill clinging on to that hope ?
Got some serious recovery work v Worcs here.
15 @ 29s but has only played half their games anyway.Has Parkinson's numbers been pretty ordinary in the CC? That's extraordinary stuff dropping him like that after what he's been doing in the T20 and the wraps on him.
Stoneman has shown he isn't up to it in tests. His FC career stats are mediocre, he's struggled all season in CC1 and this innings can't save him in my view. Burns is surely next in line. It will be criminal to not pick Burns in the 5th test to be honest. It's already been criminal enough not to select him in the series as it is, I wanted him in for game 1. I in fact wanted him in the side before Stoneman originally played his first test..and then they followed with Jennings who is worse than Stoneman.Stoneman for the re-call. Survived being the 179th batsmen in FC history to sleep on 99* to get to the 100 unlike 11 times before him.
