The Cricket Thread

He lasted 3 balls playing at one he could have left. He keeps giving his wicket away early in his innings with stupid shots.

 

And another failure for Weatherley.

 

Our top order is ****ing abysmal.

 

I really am sick and tired of Weatherley seeing off the new ball but then getting out for a **** score. He's got to go.

 

I'm sure that Vince and Dawson will bat through until the close of play, notching up over 300 by the time stumps are drawn.

I've always wondered how happy clappers do it...

 

Oh FFS! That's just bad luck.

 

We are going to struggle to make 200 now, Vincey needs to knuckle down and play a captain's innings.

 

Now we're ****ed.

 

Well that aged well, FFS Vincey...

 

Bottled it, just like we bottled Finals Day.

 

I'll take 150 right now.

 

Maybe Hampshire know that they can win after being 89 all out, so they're trying it again. Maybe Hampshire's batsmen aren't very good...

 

As an aside, I'm watching the live feed (from Lancashire's feed) and Aigburth looks like a proper cricket ground. Spectators are seated on fold-up seats (I haven't seen a deckchair, yet), and the pavilion looks like a Tudor half-timbered country house. You can imagine the square being roped off at the end of play, so that the local football team can play on the outfield.

The pavilion is the oldest existing one at a first class cricket ground having been built in 1880.

 

To be honest, the situation is getting so hopeless that I'm finding other things to take my interest, with the occasional glance at the match, just to see if we're going to post a three-figure total. On the other hand, our bowlers will be able to take Lancashire apart (OK, that is clutching at straws)

 

Bad drop.

 

Now a strangle down the leg side, nothing going right today.

 

2 wickets were unlucky. The rest we gifted them on a ****ing silver platter.

 

Hant's opening pair have scored a grand total of 372 in 19 CC innings @19.58 with only one score over 50, the 55 they put on against Warwickshire.
This is obviously the weak link in the chain that hasn't been addressed since Carbs and Jimmy Adams left.
