Giving Australia a run for their money

Surrey clear out their coaching team and bring in Alec Stewart.

Typical of Lancs to do that 24 hours before I was meant to arrive... Superb stuff.



Good day out yesterday mind, thought we had nowhere near enough, particularly when Essex started like a train. Great performance and we've got half a chance of qualifying for the semis now.

Lancs win a home game against Scotland for the first time since 1994, their first ever home win against them in 40 over cricket. And in their last season in the competition, too.

As for new pavilion... Meh. Underwhelming.

Only 19 over possible at OT this morning. Lancs won the toss, invited Northants to field and currently have them 40-6 at the interval. Erm... Why didn't we bowl like this last season?!

Was just going to say... alright Lancs, pack it in now eh?

Are you playing on uncovered wickets over there these days?

18 wickets in the day at OT? I smell a points deduction

I hope Yorkshire take the T20 a bit more seriously than they are doing the YB40 this year. I can understand wanting to rotate players, but fielding virtual second team line-ups in the 40-over format is disrespectful to the competition IMO.

Inspector was apparently happy yesterday that it was a combination of good bowling and crap batting. I believe he's there again, today, though...

As another nine have fallen already
