County Championship 2024
With the start of the County Championship just three weeks away, I thought it’d be good to start a new thread for the upcoming red ball campaign.
Lancashire have a tough start against Surrey, but we should also be mindful at this point that we are an inclusive community here and we absolutely welcome our friends who follow that local team who so very nearly qualified for the minor-counties league.
Yorkies start their campaign against Leicestershire and no doubt will be looking to have the maximum points bagged up inside of three days.
Enjoy the season, everyone.
Looking out of the window this morning, it’s utterly bonkers to think that the domestic season will get underway in three weeks from now.

Re: County Championship 2024
Yorkshire might be dangerous this year…. Having cymbals Bairstow playing a full season at his level will be a benefit to them….. surely he’ll play for them? And won’t be in the England side this summer.

Re: County Championship 2024
membership renewed, attending the surrey game on the Sunday. Lyon a great signing and some really good young players coming through, Top 3 are massive for us.
The new developments in Farrington coming on a pace.
Must admit im looking forward to a few days at old Trafford and plenty at euxton cricket club,

Re: County Championship 2024
I think Lyon will be a great appointment and should definitely help the young spinners. Bohannon was named as vice captain this week - hope he continues his impressive form from last year. Interesting to see that Darren Gough stepped down yesterday as the Yorkies director of cricket after “stabilising the team” last year. Looking forward to my “home” game at the Spitfire ground in June !

Difficult to see past Surrey with them strengthening the batting.
Hopefully the weather improves and Lyon gets a few favourable pitches.

Re: County Championship 2024
The issue is that with CC games in April and September it this is not conducive to either Hartley or Lyon having too much joy from the pitches. Can’t see past Surrey either hopefully the Manchester weather might save us from our first defeat. Day 2 is Everton away.
Re: County Championship 2024
Great season ahead for Lanky, master stroke getting a local lad in, Nathan Lyon will do well, especially with the core of the team being born and bred Lancastrians like Luke Wells, the locals at EOT will be right behind their own.

Good Luck Bodge in managing your non serviceable huge debt over at Yorks.
At least two ‘cup finals’ for you to look forward too …

Re: County Championship 2024
Lancashire were due to play their first domestic friendly tomorrow. Unsurprisingly it’s been cancelled.
I imagine it’s going to be a slow start to the season.

Re: County Championship 2024
Agreed a world class bowler like Lyon deserves better, the County Championship will never produce spinners given the bl..dy intrusion of the Hundred.
Re: County Championship 2024
At least it means Tom Hartley should get more games.
Nathan Lyon
Now only available for 7 championship games due to Cricket Australia wanting to restrict his workload.

Think it would be a good idea to try and cancel that contract and bring Morley back upthecolne

Re: County Championship 2024
I see at Old Trafford the start was delayed today because of HSE concerns about removing the covers.
Doesn’t look like being a result in any of the games, which shows how daft it is to start the CC first week in April just to accommodate the Hundred.

Re: County Championship 2024
It was suspended due to ‘adverse weather conditions’ which in reality was 48 mph winds - so yes a HSE issue.
Unfortunately CC games in both April and September are now the
norm for the ECB.

Re: County Championship 2024
Yorkshire could still lose - 18 wickets lost in a day with a follow on plus an extended finish time ( weather permitting)
Had to scroll right to the bottom of the BBC website to get the Yorkshire scores - but hey that’s Division 2 for ya! Bodge!!

Re: County Championship 2024
9 matches - 9 draws over 2 divisions
When will the ECB realise they are killing CC cricket
by scheduling 4 day games in April and September just to accommodate a competition that’s not played anywhere else in the world.
Reckless.

Re: County Championship 2024
18 games played….. 1 result achieved, and very little excitement in the other 17 games. Average players scoring massive runs, bowlers getting no assistance in anything….. a pointless 72 days of cricket all round to be honest.
At least the Manchester monster munch will get to represent people from Manchester in the franchise nonsense.
