Crushing victory for Lancashire by 42 runs. Now top by four points.

Lancashire well on their way, Derbyshire 90-6, Green doing the job again, two wickets in an over. Derbyshire need an unlikely 89 off 5 overs.

Seems a decent player that green. Don't really know much about him tbh but he's been doing okay.

England could actually score 609 - that threat scares them.

He's been a great overseas signing, unlike many, many other failures for Lancashire. Good all rounder, wasn't supposed to play in the county championship but has, and put in a great shift with both bat and ball.

Beautiful delivery.

Their bowling has been a level above ours unfortunately.

I'll reframe my question then, when was last time England were famous for a Elite bowling attack?

India proving if you out bat England you'll win a test series.

Quite often within the last 10 years. We've just lost Broad and Anderson, Wood, Archer still out.

In 2015 the attack was Anderson, Broad, Tremlett, Swann, Finn, Bresnan.

2018 - Broad, Anderson, Woakes, Curran, Ali/Rashid.

2020 - Broad, Anderson, Archer, Wood, Woakes, Curran.

The better question is why haven't England properly replaced Swann? Because the weakness has been spin.

??? I don't get it, how do you replace someone for the national team?

Something was mentioned early in the test about what fatigue does to the brain/body. Essentially you perceive the ball differently when tired which makes it harder to bat. And you become worse the more you have to strategise during your innings.

The last hour is usually the best to take wickets if you've been batting for a long time.

When they retire, you replace them with someone of similar style and ability?

Zak Crawley is Michael Keane's cricket twin.

ECB can't produce a spinner. Neither can they keep fit a scary pace bowler - Archer, Wood, Harmison? 2 of them are from same Town.

Even Mitch Starc threw down 90+

Ashes 2005 - Brett Lee and Kaspowiwz bowled 90mph+, and then Shane Warne was worlds best bowler.

Why have England got to that level?

Yes, but it's not like we can go and buy Shane warne is it

Why have England got to that level?

England won that series with Harmison, Flintoff and Jones all bowling at or around 90mph.

We've also been overly reliant and as such, overly used 90mph bowlers since - Wood, Archer, Stone, Carse, Atkinson.

I'm not sure what point are you trying to make?

 

[PITA]

Like Harry Kane's record for England then

Joe Root bowling medium-slow at near 600 down isn't a way to win a Test cricket game

Is the sun affecting you?
