Cricket County Championship

[tybfc]

Lancashire are in a great position just after tea on day 3 of their game at the Emirates Old Trafford against Hampshire.

Hampshire are 23/3 in their second innings still 175 runs behind Lancs who had two batsmen score centuries and one score a big double century.

Let the weather be kind to us.

By the way Yorkshire suffered an embarrassing two and a half day massive defeat at Champions Middlesex in case anybody was interested.

[ClaretTony]

Now 26/4 - Anderson has 3 for 5

[tybfc]

Tony - I haven't been there today but you can imagine with the humidity that it will right up Jimmy's tree to swing the ball around.

[Ashingtonclaret46]

It would appear that Middlesex are certainly Yorkshire's nemesis-- that is the fifth consecutive defeat that they have suffered against them

[ClaretTony]

Tony - I haven't been there today but you can imagine with the humidity that it will right up Jimmy's tree to swing the ball around.

He had 3 for 5 from 6 overs, he's bowled another two maidens since. It will be perfect for him with this humidity. Only problem is, there is some rain forecast tomorrow although we should have enough time to win it.

Currently 50/4.

[ClaretTony]

And immediately I post, they are 50/5

[MACCA]

About to watch a bit of Lowerhouse v Euxton under something's. ( Possibly 15's )

[CleggHall]

I've been at the Riverside watching Durham v Glamorgan this week, truly 2nd Division cricket but is the 1st Division any better?
Lancs beat M'sex, Yorks beat Somerset, M'sex thrash Yorks, Yorks beat Lancs, what's going on?

[Bin Ont Turf]

Beddie's coming to get you......

[Bordeauxclaret]

They'll be angrier than usual tonight.

[claretdom]

Anderson takes a wicket with 5th ball of the day

4 for 6 from 8.5 overs not bad figures

[Hbclaret007]

The yorkies are noticeably quiet on this topic

[box_of_frogs]

Rain delay for Lancs. Come on weather, don't fail us now!!!

[Bin Ont Turf]

It'll be them Yorkshire folk doing a Yorkshire rain dance, sending us some Yorkshire cool air where it forms a Yorkshire nimbostratus and therefore Yorkshire water falling as Yorkshire rain.

[house claret]

hampshire are 62 for6 jimmys got 4 for14 match delayed

[tybfc]

Play due to restart at 12.30 and the forecast ok for this afternoon.

[box_of_frogs]

81-7.

[box_of_frogs]

120-8. 78 runs behind.

[dpinsussex]

Hampshire tail wagged a bit but now 9 down

[mdd2]

Still wagging

[Bin Ont Turf]

Jimmy always gets the last wicket to win.

[mdd2]

Not when he is not bowling

[dpinsussex]

158 -9

[Bin Ont Turf]

Not when he is not bowling

Injured again?

[mdd2]

Don't know but he has 4 for 20 from 15

[claretdom]

All out

[dpinsussex]

Injured again?

His 15 overs are more than anyone else so guess nit. Simply having a rest I would say

[Bin Ont Turf]

Aye you're right DP.

Jarvis got the last wicket to win by an innings and 30 runs.

Which is nice.

[dpinsussex]

Keep him fit for the test series

[dpinsussex]

Any of them yorkshire folk seen the league table?

Lancys are now 2nd

[tybfc]

Yes Essex top the league with another good win on 114 points followed by the premier northern English team who are second on 100 points.

The rest really aren't worth discussing.
