Leicestershire v Lancashire ....

[Clarets4me]

No James Anderson in Lancashire's line-up at Grace Road today ....

[claretonthecoast1882]

Lancs lose toss and bat first away at top of the league

Williams replaces Jimmy

[mdd2]

ouch
Could be over by Sunday lunch time the way we have been playing

[Bordeauxclaret]

Surprised Anderson was in the squad but not playing.
Would suggest he’s picked up another injury.

[TheFamilyCat]

Collapsed from 74-0 to 112-4.

[claretonthecoast1882]

147/4 becomes 147/6

2 at the crease both on 0

[Stproc]

Meanwhile, none of the mercenaries are anywhere to be seen. Half a team off slogging in other countries & they’ll need a rest before playing somewhere else in the 100

[dandeclaret]

Shambles again for the hotel and concerts company

On the subject of mercenaries, I see the Yorkshire skipper is deserting his post for a few rupees.

This is what he said when he was named captain: "I am incredibly proud to have been named captain of Yorkshire. The county is embedded in my heart, and I take immense pride in representing the Club on the field. To now be able to do that as captain, in what will be an exciting season, is a real honour."

It’s the AGM at Lancs on Thursday which will be a lively affair for sure.

[HB Claret]

Definitely something toxic at the club - we are a laughing stock at the moment and there doesn’t seem to be any passion or intent with the team.

[ClaretTony]

Just checked the score today

Lancs 202
Leicester 269/2

Another good performance from a county cricket club that has totally lost its way

[Milltown1882]

Leics 442/8, can we just be relegated into the Lancashire league at this point please.

[Tackler49]

Watched some of todays play on YouTube some of the bowling when trying to get an early wicket this morning was poor too wide or too full Anderson Phillip bolwed a ball wide of the off stump Rehan Ahmed smashed it for 4, ok that wasn’t good maybe try something different but No next same bowl same result when you’re trying to defend a small total bowling like that is not wa

[ClaretTony]

We've at least bowled them out now - only problem is that they have a first innings lead of 251 so we will be battling to avoid an innings defeat tomorrow.

[Tackler49]

Bloody Predictive Txting —to continue bowling that is not what is needed he wasn’t the only one guilty of poor bowling. On a wicket where we needed Sir JA he’s not selected same at Northants. It’s surely time Dale Benkenstein stepped down results have been poor since he took charge i didn’t think that Keaton Jennings was the problem

[onewillieirvine]

Lancs 25-2, Wells and Bohannon gone. Interesting shot by Wells, caught at third man

[Leisure]

132 for 3 Still 119 behind.

[ClaretTony]

Now 183/4, Keaton Jennings is on 95 and Lancs just 68 behind.

[lakedistrictclaret]

Lancashire lose by an innings.

What on earth is happening at the club?

[sjb]

They will go into the break for the Blast as the only county out of the 18 without a Championship victory this season.

[dandeclaret]

Looks like they need to change he the captain again….. as the club thinks the coaching and cricketing departments are fine.

[ClaretTony]

197/4 to 248 all out, absolutely pathetic

[Leisure]

197/4 to 248 all out, absolutely pathetic

And Jennings scored 112 of the 248!
