Shows the paucity of Test cricket for most countries.



Glamorgan 125-4, 14 overs. Need a further 77 off 6 overs.

A wicket maiden from Livingstone seems to have settled the game

Another wicket gone now. Livingstone having a good match, most sides ever in a T20 match for Lancashire - 8. Now, 3-13, of his 4 overs.

Can't help but be cynical and think that it's not a coincidence that England can't bat and lo and behold the first test after an Ashes trouncing is on a pitch that no-one could bat on.

Terrible 19th over from Balderson, conceding 24. Glamorgan need 17 to win.

 

[Eggs]

….my word, low point for Lancs losing that.

 

[summerisle]

Lancashire plumbing new depths of ineptitude, losing off the last ball

 

[jaspercabbage]

Shocking

If you can't defend 41 off the last two overs you shouldn't be a professional cricketer. Some rank bowling at the end, half trackers, wides, no balls, and a full toss at the end, absolutely pitiful.

 

[msb]

Absolutely dreadful from Lancs.

Brook.

Yeah apart from him, obviously!

I can't help but think that makes zero sense

If your team struggles at batting, having a pitch that everyone struggles to bat on negates any batting advantage the opposition has.

I dont think it does, having a flatty that suits aggressive batting vulnerable to movement does, this pitch plays into the so called weaknesses of this side. The theory also ignores the recent history of Lords that extends way beyond our poor ashes and its only been saved by the money obsessed with keeping the money there.

NZ has a better bowling attack than England, if it was true it would be incredibly risky. Also picking a spinner that wouldn't need to bowl on a seamer prepared pitch also makes little sense. Other than that, it's a theory I guess
