Both Green’s were ‘rested’ and I think Alex might be secretly glad given his average & strike rate. Poor Hull is really struggling with his confidence. Looks like he needs a break.  Why Holland kept banging it in I have no idea. 

It's the worst Ive ever seen Dutchy bowl I think.

🤣 at 25 overs and approximately 120-1 they were saying Lancs would be looking at 250 🤣 

I couldn't believe what I was hearing. Jennings was well in and they were only one down, I thought they'd said 350 but then said they might settle for 270. Absolute tools.

We've got to get a proper no.3 batsman. This idea of Holland or Green there is ridiculous

Should be Lewis Hill surely

Holland Having to rush and run back to his mark wasn’t ideal either, can’t bowl like that. Really poor team performance with the ball. Fantastic pitch though which enabled an excellent game.

agree with this. The chap is still being paid, could we not ask him to come to work?

Are we only using the opposition commentators now. These 2 on now are a right pain in the ear. 

They weren't opposition commentators they were neutral.Local BBC  stations don't cover group matches in the one day cup anymore.

Good news but on the down side it must mean Nick Kelly isn't coming back. Personally i'd have Kelly and De Swardt now as the 2 overseas, drop Ajaz Patel and bring Trevaskis in as the spin option. But that would involve Arrogant Thomas swallowing his pride!

Completely agree!

All three of them are available.

He is coming back they will choose 2 from.3.Seems madness with money so tight to fund 3 OS players when most other sides play 1 at most.Be a disaster if they don't at least make the knock.out stages.

That or it's a bit of a sweetner to get De Swardt to sign next season.

He is a good player. Said before he started he is a really good pro. Seen quite a bit of him in South Africa. Nice guy. He would come back sure of it. Need more fighters like him. Also think Sheikh has been excellent so far. So we have a few positives.

Loved his celebration for his 100 even though the game was probably gone, proper passion.

He’d be a great all formats signing.

Yeah, everyone piling in on him not getting off to a great start was wild

On the NV Play feed, not a single one of the Lancs scrotes was generous enough to recognise him reaching 100.

Great start vs Notts... 

[Lionator]

Patel was not happy with that decision.

 

Hope the captain hasn’t panicked as it looks a bowler friendly pitch.

On one of the replays it looks like it could have nicked the pad instead of the inside edge. It wasn't a close up though so can't be sure.

Eskinazi looking in good nick....

This fascination with sticking a bowler in at 3 instantly putting us on the back foot.
