Cricket

…Lancs again snatching defeat from the jaws of victory. The ones you expect to see them home letting them down, Jennings a daft dismissal after dropping a dolly & Villas batting ponderously before getting out.

The best players aren’t scared of winning the big games.

Good shout on Amla but I think you also have to get Proctor in there,
Proctor was one of my favourites growing up but it was between him and another, later, favourite, Rice. I went for him because he could bat anywhere from 3 to 6 whereas Proccy was more a 7 at test level. Still, I wouldn't complain if Proctor was in!
 
Well done Kent - bowled better, batted better and certainly fielded better.

As for Lancs, for me it started going wrong with the team selection when they took the cowardly route of leaving out the youngster and playing all the middle-order batsmen instead of an all-rounder. Jones deserved to come back in, Vilas was a match-winner in the semi, Croft has been brilliant - as have Wells and Jennings - so it was Bohannon who should have been left out. Jennings was left with having to bowl 10 overs with part-time spinners, Williams had an ordinary day, but there was no-one else to bowl.
