up to 4th & with Derbs losing 2 on the spin, second place now within reach. |

I hope Dawsom makes it although there is some talk of Leach coming in. I think if Dawson performs he can get a place in the ashes squad. He can bat a bit too |

who would have thought that a game going along at just over 1 run an over could be so exciting !! could only listen on the radio but enjoyed the tension of it all. Stokes MOM |

4 teams on 28 points and 2 on 24. Tomorrow it is us v Durham for top spot. Should be a cracker |

should get through to the knock out stages now. Looking at the teams it almost looked like an international team v a county team !! |

Blew it !!! Although it was a great innings by their number 8, we shouldn't be letting them put together a 180 partnership so easily. He clobbered us all over the shop and his partner dropped anchor. Deffo not getting second spot now IMO. No wins out of 8 not good enough. |

Probably Lancs best day of the season. I assume they will put Kent straight in today with a good chance of a win on the cards. We need it for any chance of the second promotion spot ( I assume Leics will go up). |

I think Bumrah is the one player who could win 2 or 3 tests on his own. We just don't have a bowler of the same class & I fear he will be the difference. Can't see Crawley working him out ( or Pope) but I hope to be proven wrong |

Yes I am going down for all the games. Ticket process on the first day was a rip off because you had so little time to pick and book tickets, you had to keep paying a booking fee for each order ( instead of 1 big order) I spent about £70 on booking fees. Paid a decent price for most games, but there were only expensive tickets left for Adelaide when I got online. Sydney was difficult and I had to buy a top price ticket for day 2. Overall quite happy with the total price and seat choice ( other than the booking fee!!) Gabba should be good as it is the day/night test for the first time in the Ashes. Overall I am expecting us to get a bit of a panning ( as usual) but looking forward to the overall experience |

So they have fired him today before the first T-20 game, the correct decision in my opinion. Croft named as interim coach & hopefully he can spark a good performance in the T-20 |

If they have a poor T-20 then he might be gone before the end of the season. Otherwise I assume he will survive the season and they will review the last 2 years. He might need to do a " Ange Postecoglou " - always win something in his second year!! |

Spot on with your comment on the spinner. Hartley is OK but he cannot generate as much turn as Parkinson could. I don't think he is an upgrade at all on the bowling although he gets more runs than Parkinson With hindsight, our slow run rate in the first innings didn't help ( only 2 batting points even though we reached the 110 overs limit for points). We should have ensured they were in at least an hour before which could have made the difference. Only 1 game now to the half way break and still no win. At least we were the team in the driving seat this game unlike most of the others. |

whoa Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Jimmy Anderson his 1st wicket was a beauty. A painfully slow innings from Lancs, but if we can get through them today we should have a good chance of picking up a well needed win. [Post edited 18 May 7:59]

They have also confirmed their support for the coach and his staff. Possibly a case of head in the sand. 2 matches remaining to reach the half way stage and a long break. Need to win at least one of those. |

The appointment of Benkenstein was an odd one from the start. He was appointed head coach for Gloucestershire from 2021 on a 3 year deal. when they were in the first division. They got relegated and struggled in division 2. When it seemed he may be fired, Lancs "poached" him from them. So it seems across the 2 teams we are approaching 4 years of failure. However although we are rock bottom there are hardly any points between 8th and the top 4. In terms of major non-cricket events, they are not having any in 2025 so won't be able to use that as an excuse |

What do people thing about the quarter & semi finals being 1 leg instead of home& away. I like it because it ensures there is some reward for finishing as high as you can. It also gives an underdog a better chance as the stronger teams are more likely to win over 2 games. Even though potentially we would be away to FG, I would fancy us to pull off a 1 game shock against them that win over 2. In terms of the original question I am more worried about the Southend game than I would be against FG. As mentioned they may come and park the bus, and I would fear 1-0 result. Also we should get a good crowd which seems to be a market for poor performance too !! York clear favourites overall but a Wembley final is 50/50. [Post edited 7 May 4:30]

As he is a loan player, we would just need to ask his club for a 1 day extension. I can't see why they would refuse. If any of our own players have a contract that finishes on the 31st May we can offer them a 1 day extension too. Again no reason why they would refuse as it puts them on TV and in the shop window. I assume all players on the day will be on a bonus too. |

Has anything been said about the exiles ticket. It is not currently available and I wondered if it has been scrapped. |
