Lancs have "kept this under their hat" and must have known that a clash was a likely outcome, both dates were fixed well in advance. Did they secretly hope to not qualify? A Liverpool back-up wicket should have been maintained, shabby treatment of members and supporters.

CleggHall

As a regular spectator at The Riverside it will be nice to see the ground full for a change. 4 day matches normally attract "crowds" of 750 grumpy, old men. It's more like care in the community! I hope some tickets will be left over for local north easterners so that they/we can watch some quality, ...

1. Dreadful umpiring decision, Stokes was clearly out LBW. 2. Dreadful refereeing decision in Rugby League final, St Helens denied a good try in the 5th minute by referee Hicks who arrogantly wouldn't go to the video technology. 3. Dreadful/ dubious penalty decision in 95th minute at Wolves. Where w...

CleggHall

Well done, a brave, bold post.
You've served your time, welcome back!

CleggHall

Credit where it's due, 50s for both Root and Denly, well done.

CleggHall

Maybe, but what's your response to our current crisis, and how would you go about rebuilding for the next Ashes series? You've got to start somewhere. Get rid of the new one day competition, the daft 100 ball mongrel. Play good competitive 4 day county championship cricket throughout the season not...

CleggHall

A sad outcome, one season wonder but at 22 he has time to rebuild a career at another county.

CleggHall

Yes Root is a problem as captain but realistically who else?

CleggHall

Decent captaincy (eventually) from Root today, called the toss right, let his fast bowlers loose at the end after a mid-afternoon drift. Now needs to score some runs and help level the series.

CleggHall

A sensible decision, it was unwise to allow him to return to bat on Saturday.

CleggHall

A marvellous man and player though he missed a couple of penalties for N.Ireland (one against Ron Springett for England) which the folks "across the water" found unforgiveable. I fell in love with Burnley back in 1959 mainly due to Mac.

CleggHall

A nice read, progress against Arsenal is welcome any time.

CleggHall

Lived in Belfast in the 1960s, supported Glentoran and saw them draw 1 all with Eusebio's Benfica at the Oval in the European Cup 1967.

CleggHall

Strauss and Cook watch on, get yer pads on lads!

CleggHall

Yes my parents and granny all Tod born frequently mentioned him. There wouldn't be many "men of colour" in Tod in the 1930s/40s.

CleggHall

Will be a better contest this time when we have 11 versus 11.

CleggHall

Falls off more bar stools in casinos than games (of football) he plays!

CleggHall

Should have been sacked instantly once he messaged "his friends" in the South Africa dressing room.

CleggHall

A positive prognosis from the Guardian, let's hope they are right.

CleggHall

.......only if Defour is fit!

CleggHall

Allopurinol daily to prevent build up of uric acid crystals, Indometacin to blast it out when it occurs, good luck.

CleggHall

Agree wholeheartedly ty, the game has been heading in this direction (white ball slogging) for several years. Somewhat worryingly, the failing batsmen don't seem too bothered and are assured of their places because there is little better in county cricket where games seldom go 4 days. Instant gratif...

CleggHall

Hope you enjoyed the book more than the cricket!

CleggHall

Boycott said on the 1st morning that this was a "2 spinner pitch", how we could have done with Leach (for both his batting and bowling)?

CleggHall

Tony Scholes has us 12th in the Observer, I'll go with that!

CleggHall

How to fritter a 1st innings lead away.

CleggHall

....and Bairstow!

CleggHall

Batsmen in my day regularly sandpapered their bats, when did bowlers start doing it?

Yes OK I misread that!

CleggHall

Pleased to read this Guardian Review, they are doing the PL alphabetically and so far have not relegated any clubs - Brighton?!

CleggHall

All's well that ends well but it could be a long, hard winter!

CleggHall

Disappointing to read that racism has affected his mental health, a bit early to hang up the boots but good luck to him.

CleggHall

A great, painstaking review, an excellent read.
Many thanks to Phil Whalley and the book's authors.
We are blessed to have so many fine scribes generously supporting the clarets.

CleggHall

Root stuffed Denly in a runout, England in a bit of trouble now.

CleggHall

Roses matches matter whatever the format, here's to a good game.

CleggHall

In the chase for World Cup white ball slogging, we have forgotten how to play 4 day cricket and build an innings. The standard in county cricket is very low yet Yorkshire can easily slog 255 off 20 overs. None of their batters are however of test standard.

CleggHall

Local trainer David Barron is always worth a bet.

CleggHall

Andy Carroll, the prodigal son, being linked with a return!

CleggHall

Agreed we've listened to this "deserving" nonsense from OT for 50+ years, delusional rubbish given their current over-paid, over-hyped squad of ageing journeymen like Mata, Jones, Smalling and Matic.

CleggHall

Dave Burnley is going to both games according to today's Guardian, a nice photo of Bomber Harris leading out the team in 1967.

CleggHall

You butterfly brain!

CleggHall

A decent equaliser in 3 all draw at Newcastle too.

CleggHall

Root put England in trouble, 7 runs off 30 balls is appalling.

CleggHall

10 wickets to spinners on first day, somewhat unusual, where has Parki been the rest of this season?

CleggHall

Scored his only PL goal against us at SJP in February, silly money for unproven talent.

CleggHall

Rochdale Hornets, powerhouse of rugby league!

CleggHall

Bill Sykes or Bob Sykes?!

CleggHall

Agreed but good batsmen are in short supply in county cricket, just look at Yorkshire's!

CleggHall

..... but how come, he doesn't play for Stoke?

No not too far to walk down to the harbour and the Selomar is worth it,enjoy thissen with Ken and Irene.
