Miles off it tonight 

[Lionator]

Suspect we’ll lose Green to the hundred once the one day cup comes around 

[Ted Maul]

Might have been a different game if Kelly hadn't slipped on the boundary. Oh well. 

[Voll Blau]

Not great but Lancs only need one of that top three to come off and most oppositions would struggle.

 

Watch them basically put out a second XI on Finals Day again because their superstars have playing for them bottom of their priority list though.

I hope not! be far better for his development to play all 8 one day cup than a few 5 ball overs in that garbage.

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.

 

There’s your problem believing anything Claude has to say 🤣

I think looking at their line up we did OK. We could have and should have scored more. The last 5 or 6 overs were painful. Rishi played great and a stunning catch got him out, and if Livingstone is caught early we had half a chance, but needed at least 170 to make a game of it. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

On a more positive note we are still in a reasonable position in the group.

But this is what happens. To be fair I think Green is a class above where I don’t think it impedes his development either way.

180 There wins it. Decent power play but too happy to knock singles off. We are losing games, teams aren’t beating us. 

[Walshy5]

Not gona moan today! At the end of the day we've played a team littered with international players and made a game of it at least. Just fell at the wrong time. Notts ain't all that these days we can win on Sunday.

As others have said the Kelly slip (not sure you can call it a drop given he didn’t get near it) was crucial.

 

That’s because of Livingstone’s six hitting abilities. He hit seven, three more than every other player combined, and that’s nearly a third of the total in seven balls. Bar that Kelly miscue Livingstone was excellent, defending but then able to just smash it out the ground if the only one a couple came from the first few balls of any over.

Nice night down there.

Disagree if Kelly hadn't slipped or we had scored 15 more runs in the last 10 overs we would have won that 

[Officer Doofy]

I think my stream is broken. 

 

Mike just bowled a first over maiden

Then they take him straight off. Insane captaincy. 

[LBTufty]

Jaw-dropping stupidity picking Sam Wood when we already have seven bowlers in the line-up - he tends to travel all around the park even at 2nd XI level?

Is Tattersall still injured? Trying to think who else we have who is fit.

[Officer Doofy]

We are thick as shit. 

[Blueman1967]

Getting hammered

[Blueman1967]

Pull this back, bowling better

[Lionator]

A. Green once again pick of the bowlers and doing his average no harm. 

[Angus Scott]

Green is no improvement on kimber as a captain. I really don't understand this idea of changing the bowler after one over, someone like Mike is so erratic & when he bowls a maiden over should not be taken off.

Having said that our bowling is very average & inconsistent, but I'm sure they might benefit if they didn't keep getting taken off

[James and his giant peach]

Another master stroke to bowl first. Chasing around 200. Nonsensical. Pull themselves back in it then Trevaskis drops a load of dollies. Just not good enough at all.

Don't worry he conceded 13 off the next one
