Shame for Vaughans son this mind on debut!Decent support for the competition at Taunton tonight.
Hopefully he's got his Dad's cricket skills and not his personality.

Yeah he bowled well Parkinson and was well received by the crowd, much as he was in the championship at OT. Lancs really should have got the game won thoughJust from looking at the scorecard it seems that Matt Parkinson may have had a point to prove against his former teammates.
I went to Welbeck where another seemingly under-par first innings score was defended through a mixture of decent bowling and brainless batting. Points of wider interest:
- the crowd was very good, almost at capacity of an (admittedly not very large) ground. Having been to Welbeck before I doubt the crowd would have been much bigger had both teams been at full strength. It would appear that the 50 over crowd attends as much for the occasion as the players as does the Hundred crowd.
- two men were pulled from the crowd, spoken to at great lengths by stewards and then left the ground. As they had been completely unobtrusive (at least to me, sitting a short distance away) up the that point, I could only assume that they were spotting for bookmakers - giving details of the play ahead of the stream. I had heard of this before but never seen it.
Lancs I see all out for 99.At Derby today. Will not be here long. Some movement and bounce for the bowlers but poor batting too.
Can't believe Lancs could only last 20 overs. 3 games 0 pointsLancs I see all out for 99.
Pat Brown starring with a fifer after he carried drinks as a replacement for Brook for the Leeds crisp packets.
Lancs then massively weakened by losing their captain to another crisp packet side.
If it's any consolation (and it probably isn't), my lot are in the same position in Group B with an even worse NRR than Lancashire. I know we've lost a lot of players to The Hundred, but it would be nice to see first teamers like Sibley and Burns contribute rather more than what we've seen so far.Can't believe Lancs could only last 20 overs. 3 games 0 points
All very well that the competition is more likely to be won by a smaller county having lost less players but how long before the likes of Surrey and Lancashire don't bother thinking they would be better off playing friendlies against eachother. How much money are Lancashire wasting on two overseas players for the Metro Cup? I think they have 11 players without them both.If it's any consolation (and it probably isn't), my lot are in the same position in Group B with an even worse NRR than Lancashire.

Surrey 15Yeah I’ve not looked this up but Lancs and Surrey feel like the hardest hit by the Hundred. Even before Jennings went…
CheersSurrey 15
Lancshire (now) 11
Warwickshire 9
Somerset were 10 now 8 (baker and smeed out)
......
Kent were 5 now 3 (crawley, klaasen out)
Derby 3
Gloucester, Northants 2
Glamorgan (now) 1 cooke out
Worcester 1
by my calculation, ignoring temporary replacements.
Durham effectively without 9 albeit not all to the Hundred.Surrey 15 (both currans, jordan, jacks, overton, atkinson, topley, smith, lawrence, worrall, pope, lawes, evans, clark, roy)
Lancashire 11 (buttler, livingstone, salt, wood, hartley, mahmood, wells, hurst, aspinwall, stanley, jennings)
Warwickshire 9 (woakes, davies, moeen, hain, garton, bethell, mousley, briggs, gleeson)
Somerset 8 (gregory, overton, abell, vd merwe, ball, lammonby, banton, kohler-cadmore)
aspinwall has been lent back for 2 of their games, impersonating a yo-yo presently
