Fuck sake. Here we go. 
 

6/2

 

Hameed flailing at it. Ridiculous. 

[sir roger]

That's better , was a bit thrown out of sorts by our openers making scores last time out.

[Captain Howdy]

England’s openers just lacking that wee bit of not being England openers

[Jairzinho]

And with that the game is back in the balance.

[YorkshireRed]

Big loss at the end of play. We could have done with Root seeing it through. 

[Captain Turdseye]

Not exactly a deep batting line up either. What the fuck is going on with Ben Stokes?

Just watching the highlights, really good to see Farokh Engineer still going. He was a good friend of my Dad and I have known him for a long time fabulous cricketer and a great man. He always seemed taller when I was a kid.

I absolutely loved that Lancashire team as a kid in the 70's.So many characters

 

Barry Wood , Bumble , Little Harry Pilling , Frank Hayes , Clive Lloyd , Farokh Engineer , Jackie Bond , David Hughes , Flat Jack Simmons , Ken Shuttleworth , Peter Lever , Peter Lee.

 

[Jairzinho]

Good start.

What time can hurricane Ida get here?

[Stickman]

Awful captaincy is this from Kholi (again) …As well as Woakes is playing you’ve nine wickets downs the new ball and yet you have one slip and the field spread on the boundary for 4 balls of the over 

[alles ist gut]

I suppose from 62/5 it could have been a lot worse.

That’s a great comeback to be fair  and good to see it wasn’t all from Root …

His entire game seems a bit off lately.

From 5/62 to a 100-run lead?  It's almost Botham/Willis-esque.

 

Even Bairstow passed 29!

Couldn't agree more.  It's fantastic.

 

(I'm assuming you don't want me to mention the Doggies and Essendon?!)

What kind of transfer fee to get Woakes over to play for Australia before our summer?
