 v  Venue  The game of the season is almost upon us and Lancashire members will be travelling from far and wide for this all ticket four day encounter mainly due to the powers that be arranging for a four day game about 80 miles north of Manchester in the small Yorkshire village of Sedbergh were the title favourites will take on Durham at the village's local school although it is a private school for fee payers. The wickets will be perfect one can only guess at the weather given it's proximity to the Lakes. Will be there Monday and Tuesday you may get some action pictures of umbrella's Sedbergh (/ˈsɛdbər/ SED-bər or locally /ˈsɛbər/ SEB-ər) is a small town and civil parish in Cumbria, England. Historically part of the West Riding of Yorkshire, it lies about 10 miles (16 km) east of Kendal,[2] 28 miles (45 km) north of Lancaster and about 10 miles (16 km) north of Kirkby Lonsdale. The town sits just within the Yorkshire Dales National Park. Sedbergh is at the foot of the Howgill Fells on the north bank of the River Rawthey which joins the River Lune about 2 miles (3 km) below the town. Sedbergh has a narrow main street lined with shops. From all angles, the hills rising behind the houses can be seen. Until the coming of the Ingleton Branch Line in 1861, these remote places were reachable only by walking over some fairly steep hills. The railway to Sedbergh was closed in 1965. The civil parish covers a large area, including the hamlets of Millthrop, Catholes, Marthwaite, Brigflatts, High Oaks, Howgill, Lowgill and Cautley, the southern part of the Howgill Fells and the western part of Baugh Fell. George Fox, a founder of the Religious Society of Friends (Quakers), spoke in the churchyard of St. Andrew's Church (which he called a "steeple house") and on nearby Firbank Fell during his travels in the North of England in 1652. Briggflatts Meeting House was built in 1675. It is the namesake of Basil Bunting's long poem Briggflatts (1966). Sedbergh School is a co-educational boarding school in the town, while Settlebeck School is the main state-funded secondary school for the town. Sedbergh School is a co-educational independent boarding school in the town of Sedbergh in Cumbria, in North West England. It comprises a junior school for children aged 4 to 13 and the main school. It was established in 1525. If memory serves me right there is a decent chippy on the main street |

A 14 man squad has been named for Lancashire's Specsavers County Championship clash against Durham at Sedbergh School, starting tomorrow (Sunday 30 June). Lancashire head north bidding to regain their place at the top of Division Two after an unbeaten start to their Championship campaign (four wins, three draws). Glamorgan are currently top, one point clear of the Red Rose, but Glen Chapple's side have a game in hand. Stephen Parry and Matthew Parkinson are added to the squad whilst Tom Bailey has been ruled out through injury. The 28 year-old underwent successful arthroscopic surgery to his right knee last week in order to remove a small torn fragment in his meniscus (cartilage). He will work closely with the Club’s medical team in the coming weeks in order to return him to bowling as soon as possible. www.bbc.co.uk/weather/2638262 Sedbergh |

Raining though not forecast to last too long.
Pleased Anderson playing. If all the guff about taking cricket to outlying areas is to be believed, you want your world star there.
Would prefer Gleeson to Croft with Bohannon at 7

Not sure what all the ticketing fuss was about. Lancs posted this on twitter. See last photo. Doesn't look like a sell out.
However, a good day for Cumbria.
And Cumberland through to the MC KO semi final beating one of he favourites; Lincolnshire.

Specsavers County Championship Division Two, Sedbergh School (day one): Lancashire 275-5: Vilas 67*, Jones 52, Davies 38; Rushworth 2-50 Durham: Yet to bat Lancashire 2 pts, Durham 1 pt Scorecard Lancashire captain Dane Vilas hit his fourth half-century of the season to help his side bat through the day against Durham at Sedbergh School. Vilas finished the day unbeaten on 67, out of 275-5, having so far shared an unbroken 47-run stand with former Lancs skipper Steven Croft, who is on 29. All the home batsmen got starts - and Rob Jones was a key contributor, with 52 in three and a quarter hours. Chris Rushworth spearheaded the Durham attack with 2-50 from 21 overs. Rushworth should have had a third victim too, but Croft was put down by Alex Lees at first slip. Lancashire captain Dane Vilas and opposite number Cameron Bancroft shake hands before the off at Sedbergh Lancashire captain Dane Vilas and opposite number Cameron Bancroft shake hands before the off at Sedbergh Bryson Carse, Nathan Rimmington and last week's matchwinner Ben Raine all weighed in with a wicket each as the visiting bowlers generally did a good job on the first day of first-class cricket at this spectacular setting in the Cumbrian fells. After being put in by Durham, Lancashire will be happy at having only lost five wickets. But their scoring rate was kept down all day by the Durham bowlers, who limited them to just two batting points. With 14 overs left in the morning, Lancs will be eyeing a third, possibly even a fourth batting point, while Durham are just one wicket away from a second bowling point.  |

Specsavers County Championship Division Two, Sedbergh School (day two): Lancashire 337: Vilas 72; Rimmington 4-74 Durham 199-5: Bancroft 77; Anderson 2-35 Durham (2 pts) trail Lancashire (4 pts) by 138 runs Scorecard England's James Anderson claimed his 950th first-class wicket on day two of Lancashire's County Championship Division Two match against Durham. Replying to Lancashire's 337 all out, Durham captain Cameron Bancroft helped his side to 136-1 at Sedbergh School. But Durham then lost two wickets in successive balls, including Australian Bancroft bowled by Anderson for 77. Two overs later, Anderson (2-35) reached his latest milestone by trapping Graham Clark lbw for a duck. That burst of wickets from Anderson and fellow veteran seamer Graham Onions swung the momentum in Lancashire's favour, and Anderson took a slip catch to remove Jack Burnham (26) late on as Durham closed on 199-5, trailing by 138. Exactly one month before the start of England's Ashes series against Australia, 36-year-old Anderson moved onto 30 Division Two wickets this season at an average of 9.23. Earlier, home skipper Dane Vilas (72) added only five runs to his overnight score as the hosts lost their five remaining wickets for 44 runs. My view Decent little ground spectacular views, not a warm day early on the wicket bit unpredicatable especially if bowling from the Church End some shot, some lifted visciously off a length. Bohannon batted well possibly batting too low. They started well with Bancroft looking in good form, lots of nicks through the slipos possibly a couple could have been taken, Jennings injured his hand dropping one. Jimmy celebrated in style when getting Bancroft however the lack of spin intil the end made it a bit of an attritional day. If you go a quirk of the ground if you turn right on leaving the church with the ground in front of you the seats there are free as it is public land although you can watch for free from the path next to the Church and the main road. Ice cream was ace  Early doors a tad damp  Durham watch Croft walk back  Jimmy walks back to mark |

Lancashire can win this need to set them over 300 however may be more difficulty without Jimmy. Early on neither Rimmington nor his strokeless partner Trewarkis looked in any danger, then wickets tumbled in a hurry. Don't think we have been great catching wise. Batting Jennings may have been sawn off Hameed usual dismissal Davies fell for the rope a dope trick Livingstone good catch second slip Jones may have erred calling a second Croft got a grubber. Warmer day today splendid venue to watch the game  Livingstone bowling  Rushworth bowling Nathan Rimmington as well as batting excellently has a fabulous beard |
