Got 50 now. Should have been out 3 times though.

We - Lancs - lose (or drop points) too many home games throughout the season due to weather. We get the prevailing Westerlies which brings in the rain from the Irish Sea and as it hits the Pennines it dumps it all over us especially Manchester - hence the 'Rainy City' - and leaves the Tykes reasonably unscathed. They may get the colder easterlies but they tend to be dryer. Lancs have always been better in the one day games and I can still recall the halcyon days of the 1970's when we were supreme Numero Uno!

Lovely warm sunny day, weather set fair, I know, we'll bowl, Middlesex 83-1 and going over four runs an over. Shows a complete lack of confidence in Lancashire's batting.

Middlesex from 215/3 to 260 all out.
Four wickets for Aspinwall and all bowlers took a wicket.

Good to see archer getting some big wickets. Wonder if we’ll see him play a test this summer.

….disappointing Lancs were not able to reduce that Middlesex 2nd innings total. 309 in two sessions for the win not going to happen, fingers crossed there’s no collapse.

Harry Brook named captain of both limited overs teams.

I know, I bloody know. Every season, I just can't help myself ! I'll try my damndest for the rest of the season to shut up.

Lancashire need 83 off 79 balls, five wickets left.

Squeaky bum time for Lancashire, 247-7, 8.1 overs left, and a hypothetical 62 still needed.

…..looking ok at one point, managed to get the run rate lower than 6 per over then Wells gets out and the situation changes significantly.
