T20 Lancs v Yorks tonight

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Think Croft pulled a fast one there!

[HB Claret]

Mark Butcher being a **** - ignoring the spirit of the game by insisting Croft should have been run out.

I think Butcher has made a dick of himself

[dandeclaret]

Some might say that’s a demolition…….

[minnieclaret]

As I said above Bosscat….. don’t judge a pitch until both teams have batted.

Golden rule at T20.

[Steve-Harpers-perm]

Good win. Fair play to Yorkshire but well within their right to run Croft out.

[Burnley Ace]

Just switched on - what did Root do?

[ClaretTony]

Everyone talking about the game and Butcher is still going on about Croft.

Not a run fest but an enjoyable game.

[jdrobbo]

Lovely stuff.



Ssssshhhhhhhhhhh

[ClaretTony]

Just switched on - what did Root do?

Croft went down injured while running and Root told the keeper not to run him out

[Burnley Ace]

Good for him! That’s the old school sportsmanship that made cricket a bit different

He dived isn't Croft an Arsenil fan ... Rooty took pity on you tonight


Fair play ... cracking cricket match See you at Lords

[Les latcham fan club]

Unlucky Yorkshire took a cheat or Lazurus and a sportsman to win/lose this.

[dandeclaret]

Looks like the electrics gone down in Bury again…… it’s Karen I feel sorry for having to mop up all the tears…… Lancastrian tears crying at a Yorkshire loss…… but tears all the same.

If you go to Lords, we hopefully won’t see you….. Edgbaston on the other hand…..

as you see I know nowt about cricket (a bit like you and where people come from )

[Silkyskills1]

Always had respect for Butcher but tonight he was banging on like a man possessed. Just wouldn't leave it alone and totally undermined the excellent sportsmanship shown by Joe Root. It's a 20/20 for goodness sake. Get a bloody grip!

[winsomeyen]

Is there a rule in T20 that prevented Croft from asking for a runner?

[Bordeauxclaret]

Easy win for Lancs second string

[tiger76]

Easy win for Lancs second string

I'm not sure you can call that easy, but we got over the line just, and ultimately that's all that matters.

And considering the players we were missing we've done remarkably well in the circumstances to reel off 3 wins on the spin under extreme pressure.

Combined with the rugby earlier, I make it Lancashire 2 Yorkshire 0 today.

[bfcjg]

Regarding Croft we would have won anyway.

[dandeclaret]

Just? Home with an over to spare having played 10 overs of no risk cricket, just nudging and nurdling it around for 5 or 6 singles an over.

It was a canter.
