In other cricket(ish) news... Spent the last two afternoons sat outside the northern cricket club in Crosby supping San Miguel in the sunshine. Lovely setting.

Yep, last wicket, 8 overs survived for a draw. Well done Glos

Wrong 17.3 overs it actually was, top result given the circumstances

Interesting to see if he kicks on. A friend involved at lancs said there were allegedly attitude problems, and his dad was allegedly very difficult to deal with. Am I okay to say that on here?

Allott allegedly didn't like him.

Great lyrics. lol



Highlights from yesterday's match.

Liam Livingstone added to the squad for tomorrow's game against Sussex. I imagine he will replace Rob Jones, or possibly Croft. Having been rested last week Mahmood will most likely play - perhaps Bailey will be rested for this one. Blatherwick is also in the squad.

The pitch for the Sussex/Yorkshire game turned but Lancs haven't called up another spinner, instead relying on Parkinson supported by the returning Livingstone.

Used to look forward to the Summers cricket. Nice traditional game but slowly it's been tinkered with by the mathematicians driven by Sky money. Soon end up like an English version of baseball.

Yeah I know a couple of people there who said the same thing. Their take was that he was a good kid, but he was more inclined to listen to his dad than he was to listen to the club, and that caused some issues.

Ollie Robinson is rested tomorrow and Hunt and Meaker are injured,so one of the replacements will probably be another youngster Atkins.If they think the wicket will turn,like last week,then Will Beer,leg spinner maybe included. Fingers crossed!

Sussex won the toss and are batting, currently 52-1.

Good session for Sussex with 2 half centuries. I thought Bailey bowled well for Lancs,wasn’t helped by two dropped catches by Croft.

A couple of quick wickets for Lancashire : Sussex 153-3.
