What's not true? I was there only 3 turned up.I seen a post by Paul.Rogers that it wasn't an official old players day but even if that's the case we still have a very poor turnout for these events compared to other other sides.Notts for example get over 80 every year coming from.all over the Country we can't even get local lads like Laurie Potter Tim Mason Les Taylor Ollie Freckingham Russell Cobb etc to attend

"It was old players day".

 

Not true. Pretty simple.

Claude Henderson told me it was Old players day on  Sunday when I asked him on the friday, Kelvin the dressing room attendant told me it was Old players day on when I arrived at the ground but a very poor turnout because it was Father's day.Geoff an elderly autograph collector travelled from.Kenilworth because he was told it was Old players day and that David Billington who played one game v Warwickshire at Hinckley in 1985 was attending.Paul Rogers post simply said it wasn't  an official players day which he posted days after the event.Official players day or not you would expect more then 3 to turn up.

2\2 Malcolm Butcher who plays for the County's over 60 side also told me it was Old players on the Sunday.

This is the sort of game we win then get hammered by Derbyshire lol. But in all seriousness Lancs have been pants this season across all formats and all those players are going to be rusty Livingstone aside. 

[StanSP]

ECB have confirmed Ahmed is available tonight and Sunday.

You said it was embarrassing for the club, but the club didn't organise it. They can't be blamed for poor turnout.

@everton carr and @Voll Blau I appreciate this is an open forum, but this back and forth is about as entertaining as watching Geoff Boycott ‘dig in’ back in the day

[Officer Doofy]

Blimey it's going to be sweltering down there tonight. 

 

Looking forward to it

That Lancs XI 

[James and his giant peach]

We we will need over 200 to defend against this fookin all star team. Just shows you what we are up against, hardly a level playing field is it. We've made a good start so hopefully we get a good total. 

[James and his giant peach]

Their fielders flying around everywhere that was an insane catch. 

[James and his giant peach]

And bang goes the good start against England 

[James and his giant peach]

Livingstone is such a bellend

[James and his giant peach]

This score is going to be nowhere near enough

Trevaskis and Mike should have been above Ellison and Green.

Spot on. Very strange innings where we scored quickly in the first ten and very slowly late on. You can't just knock it around at a run a ball, it's all we've done this season. With their line up, they will get these easily. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Very good by Green

[Voll Blau]

Get in. Great over from Green, wide aside.

Superb! The Buttler didn’t do it this time!

[James and his giant peach]

What an over by Alex Green, he's going to be some bowler. That's Johnny Bairstow and Jos Buttler he's got out in the last week. 

[James and his giant peach]

There's the difference. They take a stunning catch on the boundary to get rid of Patel who was flying, put guy slips over and misses a simple catch.
