Full Squad:
Burns(c)
Amla
Atkinson
Blake
Clark
Curran
Geddes
Lawes
Moriarty
Overton
Patel
Roach
Smith
Steel
Virdi
no idea on this one would like us to stay unbeaten in red ball, but the club may decide to give Blake, Moriarty and Virdi a game.
Hope they don't in which case Geddes and Smith replace Foakes and Pope and either Atkinson or TC getting the Worral spot.
For the final time this season over to you chaps  

Cheers, JimBob. You've had another great season, much appreciated. 

At last week's forum meeting, Stewart said that Moriarty and Virdi would be in the squad. However, the main reason seemed to be in case it was a spinner's wicket and he didn't give me the impression that either were likely to be picked.

Blake likely to join them on the bench along with, as you say, Atkinson or TC. I'll say TC gets to play but that could go either way.

Lancashire win toss and bowl
Atkinson, Blake, Geddes and Virdi miss out.
Makes no sense to me that lineup

100%. As we've picked a front line spinner and a back up spinner, why do we need 5 front line seamers?

fair to say like 2018 we will not stay unbeaten

Not a good day at the office. 

We could still get out of this with a draw but mighty glad the Championship isn't hanging on the result.

And even worse on day two. 

With a decent forecast for today and tomorrow, it's vey hard to see us saving this match. Could even be over today, I assume up to 104 overs could be available.

Roach brings up the 200 and probably the final point of the season for our man JimBob.

Foakes and Pope have travelled up there so not much longer left until the trophy is handed over

Quite sad that the only cc match sky have covered all season is this pathetic effort with one team showing no effort or application, yes I know we've won the league, but this isn't going to attract any new followers, and we had the unbeaten record to go for....Sky showing their colours now, it's gone off for a 20 over match....on both channels

Hi Goochie - the match is now on some channel called Sky Mix. I didn't even know I had it but have stumbled across it on channel 520 on Virgin.

Generally, agree with your comments though. All very disappointing.

Players desperate to get their hands on the trophy after Tea

and that's it chaps roach given out lbw to one off the bat

Desperate to get the game finished today jimbob
Obviously look at the bigger picture, a great season for 13 games.....and if those trying to kill cricket have their way... we'll have to do it in 10 games next season
