And as luck would have it Notts are playing Yorkshire next week.

Good move for Duckett to go to Notts, they have also signed Ben Slater from Derbyshire, so shoring up their batting line up

[Durhamfootman]

Duckett probably thought that by moving to Yorks, he'd be playing div 1 cricket next year.... then changed his mind after looking at the table and the recent run of form and the mass exodus, and decided to move to Notts instead

he might be a very disappointed chap, because Notts are currently playing like a side about to be sucked into a monumental relegation battle

Yes. Looks as if Lancashire are going to win today. Notts played more games that the others too. Could be a very intense battle.

[Durhamfootman]

especially if they lose to Yorks

Lancs are 272-6 chasing 314

Worcs into the 81st over, so presumably have taken the new ball. Parnell steaming in... Worcs could still win this if they can grab one of the set batsmen quickly

Yep and I think Lancs have had a couple of narrow defeats recently so will feel the pressure of a wicket goes.

[captaincolly]

Just 6 more runs needed by Lancs now and still with 4 wickets in hand.

Rory Kleinveldt has left Northants at the end of August to return to South Africa. So we'll be looking for a new overseas player. We need a batsman really, but our tail will be very long with our current crop of bowlers.

A shame for us but I think Duckett needs to move on. I feel he has got too comfortable at Northants and needs to improve his game especially his front foot shots.

Still annoying when counties develop these players and then lose them without any compensation.

seems to have had a truncated season, this year. how old is he?

but don't

good win for Lancs

[Durhamfootman]

Somerset declare and set Yorks 419

be interesting to see what Leach does. he's unplayable at Taunton, but this isn't Taunton. If he wants to be taken seriously he has to steam through Yorks in the 4th innings

[Durhamfootman]

particularly since it's a big target, so Yorks are probably already beaten mentally

and the first wicket has fallen already 3-1

[Durhamfootman]

just noticed that Hodd is playing

I thought he'd retired
