One Pro! We've only got one pro!

No LHCC Stream this weekend with us being away?

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 2:27 pm

Littleborough have a great stream - they are streaming it.

We will be showing it at the club for those not travelling. The second team will be streamed Sunday at home.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 3:02 pm

Unfortunately the weather forecast for tomorrow isn't looking too good. Hopefully it's wrong as Littleborough is my favourite other ground.

Read are having to play without a professional tomorrow as he serves a one match ban for his hysterics at Padiham last week.

I can't ever remember a pro being banned before.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Fri Jul 18, 2025 3:49 pm

I thought there was an LCF ruling that you can only fine Pros... not ban them?

Yes. Banned for life.

What did he do? I saw the Facebook post and had a little chuckle, thinking the page was going to get bombarded with private messages asking.

He was asking how many pros are in the prohouse team steady it’s a joke UPTHECOLNE

Bigbopper · Post by **Bigbopper** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 7:51 am

Have you finally got your head around the fact that Lowerhouse pay only one player and that includes coaching duties,

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 7:53 am

Current weather and the forecast doesn’t look very cricket friendly today.

Longsidelenny1882 · Post by **Longsidelenny1882** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 8:29 am

Grandson's LHCC U9's semi final home game this morning has been called off, if that's anything to go by.

Very frustrating.

Enjoy your cricket wherever you are.

Ill be over, best ground in the league.

No idea how the wickets are but i love the ground

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 12:23 pm

12.30 start. Won toss and batting.

Does it look like it'll start on time? I'm away but will stick it on the stream

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 12:29 pm

Choosing to bat first on what will in all likelihood be a rain affected game. Eh? I've listened to the podcasts and I know the mentality and they back themselves but it's just bizarre.
DLS oddities get blamed for losing against Burnley but in reality choosing to bat first cost us that day.

Just risky.

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 12:32 pm

My fave too but today isn't worth it unless you don't mind sitting around in the clubhouse waiting for rain to stop. Radar looks very iffy. Lots of rain on the way.
Having said that I gave Rochdale a miss and they somehow squeezed a game out of it.
Not worth the drive for me. Always finals day next week.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 12:44 pm

Havent started. Started raining. Live stream is up if you want to watch the covers.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 1:15 pm

Bouncing down at L’boro

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 1:26 pm

Looks like it'll be unplayable from the stream. Can see lots of puddling, and I'm sure I saw a few cracks of lightening

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 1:27 pm

Only a matter of time now.

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 1:51 pm

Told ya (with a smug grin)

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 3:28 pm

Possibly going to start?

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 3:31 pm

Game off

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 3:31 pm

Just seen em shake hands on the stream. Fair enough

GetIntoEm · Post by **GetIntoEm** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 3:35 pm

With Clitheroe being pulled as well leaves us 28pts clear at the top

Somethingfishy · Post by **Somethingfishy** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 3:39 pm

That's another game closer.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 3:47 pm

Can’t see many, if any that will get a full game on.

ClaretTony · Post by **ClaretTony** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:13 pm

Burnley were due to play Haslingden at home today, not away as previously mentioned.

I think it was the only game to start. Haslingden were 22/4 from 10 overs with Erasmus having taken 4 for 7.

Been no updates for some time although still says match in progress.

Hopey · Post by **Hopey** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 5:14 pm

The match will be off no doubt. Burnley are notoriously bad for updating play cricket.

Something very quintessentially English about watching a live stream of a rained off cricket match.

Quickenthetempo · Post by **Quickenthetempo** » Sat Jul 19, 2025 9:00 pm

Ww got a 29 over game in at Padiham and Read had similar.

Needed a bit of help from the umpires to stay on in light rain.

You can ban pro's in the NWCL as Jamal Stuart has been banned before.
Read took the step of banning him one game hoping the league doesn't take it further.

I watched a rain cover for over 40mins and turned it off after they shook hands. Good hour and a half spent in my eyes

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Jul 20, 2025 2:51 pm

There will be a bowl out at Turf Moor if the rain stops, failing that, the toss of a coin. Shocking way to decide the outcome of the LCF Knock Out competition.Decision likely around 3pm.

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Jul 20, 2025 3:06 pm

Bowl out it is, covers being removed now.

BigRedrose · Post by **BigRedrose** » Sun Jul 20, 2025 3:17 pm

1-0 Northern
