First game of the season for Lancs and away at Kent.

We are batting and currently 84-3.

The crazy ECB are up to their old tricks again and not allowing Jimmy or Mahmood to play.
 
You would think they would want Anderson to get some first class cricket having had the last few months off. Also, how can they expect county batsmen to improve if they are not facing the best international bowlers?
 
Exactly my thoughts.

Other England players - Crawley, Fisher, Foakes, Pope, Malan are all playing today so why have no consistency? They also let players go to the IPL but don’t let them get red ball cricket action at home - senseless?
 
100 partnership for Croft and Vilas, well played. Lancs180 for 3
At a decent run rate of around 3.5 as well.
Watchful at times, especially when Stevens bowled earlier
I think Stevens is old enough to post on here now 😁
 
Kent 155-4 . . . still 351 behind

Edit - another gone and Parkinson hasn't had a bowl yet!! Kent 158-5

Parky got 4 Hassan 2.

There's a thread on this on the Covid, Politics side of here which has limited replies. Why it has to be there Fxxx knows. Why there has to be a there anyway?
 
Compton must be knackered, hopefully we can get him early after his unbeaten 100 in the first innings. If we can take 2 or 3 today, on a wicket offering plenty for the spinners, we will have a great opportunity tomorrow to push for the win.

That was me FCB . . . couldn't remember the protocol for cricket threads so started on the non football board.

Happy to start adding this one as TML is the king of Lancs county threads :) 🌹
 
In the bag this one. max points to start, you can't do any better than that. Although had Jimmy and Mahmood played they'd be on the beach now.
 
To think we have 5 England internationals on our books who didn't even feature in this game.

Yeah Buttler doesn't really count but when Jennings, Livingstone, Jimmy and Mahmood are all available that's quite a selection dilemma.

Problem is I'm sure the new England coach and captain will not have the 'Anti Parky' blinkers on!!
