Royal London Cup Discussion Thread

Lancs struggles have continued and now a real stalwart of their team Horton, has missed out on his half century as so many batsmen in this competition have been doing. Looks as if a target of no more than 230 or so for Essex to chase.

Jordan Clarke's flurry at the end has set a decent target of 248 for Essex to chase. Rain affecting several games today. D/L will be pleased.

Warks have the children out today with four 22 year old players, one of whom replaces the injured Chopra. Difficult to imagine them making a challenge with so many inexperience youngsters in the squad.

Our bowling is so weak looking and a total close to 300 may well be the target as Trego and Ingram make hay. No Chris Wright, no Kieth Barker and no Boyd Rankin.

Sam Billings is at it again.

[Making_Splinters]

Another lack luster performance from Lancashire.

Needs to be a long hard look at the squad over the winter.

[dan08]

Billings goes for 87 off 42, after making 135* off 58 in the last match and 64 off 54 before that.

England will take him and make him the best waterboy in the country at this rate.

trego makes 101 after beoing dropped by Trott on 30, not our day and it won't be any day unless we find some bowlers pretty quick.

Claydon is absolutely useless. Hope he never plays for Kent again. Nearly messed it up in the last game - went for 96! And now can't defend 16 off the last over. He's gone for 163 in his last 18 overs.

A tie is an okay result but really should've won that.

[Alviro Patterson]

Superb effort from Yorkshire to knock down Northants target of 210 in 38 overs and to do it with 4 overs to spare.

Also Alex Lees enhancing his England credentials with 102 off 92 balls, only 1 six.

[Arthur Crabtree]

Good start for Yorks today too. Wickets for Bresnan.

Adil Rashid bowling 3-21 off 10 overs, think he likes playing against Worcestershire.

Today and tomorrow (v Leicestershire) will determine Yorkshire's position in the tournament.

[SaintPowelly]

Back to back tons for Peter Trego.

I'm thinking of trying to get an ASBO served on Lyth and Lees banning them from Wantage Road. The damage they have caused this season is outrageous.
