[Archived] Hotspot and Lancs to win the Championship?

[modes98]

Damn, cork tried his best but just fell short.

Warks have been relegated from both leagues so it's not all that bad for lancs.

Lancashire choking again eh? Who'd have thought that was likely?

We certainly didn't choke. Have you been following the season?

464 runs aint choking.

Bit of a cheap shot ER.

464 in a second innings?

Choking?

They put themselves in that ridiculous position. Lancashire are habitual chokers, they fold when the pressure is on.

Well, the pressure was on today. And there was no choking....

But still, carry on.....

[Bing]

A valiant effort today doesn't mask the 3 pitiful days that preceeded it. Hopefully over the winter we'll see some of the deadwood got rid of, including the captain whose batting wouldn't warrant a place in the stiffs.

AM I right in thinking Hodge will be our overseas player next year?

Didn't quite get there but it is still our record 4th innings total!

[Ozz]

Sun shining today, England beat the Kiwis at the 20/20 and two series against the Black Caps to come. Roll on summer!

[Jimbo]

I'll be in Christchurch at the Jade Stadium for the 5th ODI on the 23rd -

[brfcshabba]

I have my tickets for the first and second days play at Old Trafford

[joshbrfc]

watched the game this morning, good game for us!

glad we back on winning ways, masceranas has been a good player for us in the odis and 20/20 can definately hit the ball.

for me he's the type of player that just comes on and starts hitting it out the ground at the right time in the game, the difference between winning and losing.

Sat and Sun for me!

No more Test Matches at Old Trafford for Three Years!

Oh dear.

[stuwilky]

Coupled with nothing in 09, and a single ODI in 10.

Oh to live in London with two "suitable venues"

Corrected Theres no other way that there would be a test at Glamorgan otherwise.

The ECB will eventually lose out on this, as they are still riding the Ashes bandwagon. If we get stuffed the next time, then crowds will be back to nothing.

[Flopsy]

facilities at OT arent that great compared to some of the newer stadiums.

Sorry typo there

the corporate facilities at OT arent that great compared to some of the newer stadiums.

Edgbaston needs to redevelop as well or that will cease to be a test venue

Old Trafford is never full for Test matches and so doesn't deserve to have matches. The ECB has bumped Old Trafford for Cardiff and other new grounds where the demand is higher not Lord's or the Oval.

I'm not saying that you are wrong on certain days but I have had a real struggle to get tickets for test matches. The last one I got was obtained for me by a member at OT.

It's a beautiful ground and deserves test status. The only thing against it is the Lancashire weather.

Horlicks.

Old Trafford is a historic test match ground, Lancashire has the biggest membership of any county, Manchester is the biggest city in a region of 7 million people but the north west as usual is treated like some backwater.
