[Trigger]

272/3

Tea.

 

[Timbo]

Yardy gone 265-3

What again?? He's fuckin useless. A disgrace to Battle.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Steady as she goes. Of course, it won't be good enough.

Well done LANCS.

 

[Titanic]

and with the Champs cruising on 231/4 at tea - things are now beginning to look grim.

 

[Monsieur Leclerc]

We are looking at a decent score, in vain. Ah well, we waited 163 years for our first, we will have to wait a little longer for our second Championship title.

[afters]

what a poor day so far, just not good enough.

 

[medicine man]

Sorry if fixtures but...
Hampshire will want to win this for the money, I don't think they get anything for 3rd, so, come on you Ozzie thatch-bonce, pull yer socks up

 

[McShane79]

Lancs 251 for 4. Second point for Lancashire.

 

[:J)]

Lancs lose another wicket.

253 for 5 (79.5 overs)

 

[Withdean Wanderer]

Obviously not good enough though...

 

[larus]

Got to hand it to Lancashire for at least making it look like they're giving us a chance. Fair play to them

 

[medicine man]

Well, the champs are quite cunning like that, makes our failure look like a bigger fall! ooooh, Lancashire you worthy winners, you!

 

[Gazwag]

What's that disappearing over the horizon, is it a bird, is it a plane, is it a monster................


No its Lancashire's Bonus points

 

[Timbo]

Well done to Stuart Law for letting the tail enders join in on their four day feast of celebrations.

 

[The Oldman]

Well the lankies are obviously going to be Champions and her'es how according to the Lankies website forum

"Shreck and Sidebottom are gonna come back on and wipe out Sussex before they reach 300, then Notts will race to 150-1 at close.

Meanwhile, we will amass 510 down at Hants and put them in for a tricky few overs tonight, managing to pick up a wicket with the final ball of the day leaving them 505 behind with 9 first innings wickets still in hand. "

So now we know

 

[medicine man]

Allowing the bowlers to get the remaining bonus points with bat AND ball is a good way of giving the respect due to the hardworking pacemen- and Cork.

 

[Timbo]

If Lancs get under 350, am I right in saying a maximum points draw will be good enough for us?

Yes, we have an 8 point gap although it is really 9 points due to us having two more wins.
