Another terrible selection game by Lancashire. One clearly not up to it opener retires, so what do you do, replace him with the young former England U19 opener who's rarely got a chance and leads the second XI averages? No, bring back another failed opener. And Smith still can't get a game, I almost hope he leaves at the end of the year (it looks a massive possibility - I would if i was him), they should at least let him go back to Leicestershire.
4 players under 30. :@

Kabir Ali takes 3 before tea to take his tally for the season to 55 at 18.41 with the Steyn-esque strike rate of 31.0.

EDIT: 102 FC centuries for Ramps, top effort.
Ramps also had to be restrained by the umpires after offering Murray Goodwin out.

yeah but the point is Loye and Chilton haven't shown any form in the seconds but get put back in, Smith was in decent form at Leicestershire and Brown is the top scorer in the second XI, they could hardly have done worse

As I say I agree entirely - just looking for a silver lining!

Serious deterioration of the season from Lancs. Looked good when we had Flintoff & Anderson; surely we must have realised that we need to plan for when they inevitably aren't there, particularly Flintoff as at the start of the summer Anderson was no means a cert for England selection.

At least it makes a difference to the rain ruining their season for once :)

Surprise surprise the second team score 300odd for 4 with Brown and Mullaney top scoring, First XI get rolled (again) will they get a chance in the firsts? no chance, more jobs for the boys. Watkinson still calls 25 and 26 year olds youngsters.

Du Plessis gets a 3 year contract despite average little more than 25 in first class cricket and is referred to as a youngster. Mal Loye is averaging 8.58 from 12 innings this year, why is he in the side?

Watkinson needs to go, he is making me angrier by the day.
