So no Croft, despite generally doing well on his home ground and his last two visits to the middle for Lancashire realising a hundred and a fifty.

Can only think that the niggle that caused Croft to miss a few recent T20s has flared up again (unless his admission that Surrey bowled, batted and fielded better than Lancs on Friday has upset the management! But it was on the Lancs website, so probably not).

Always nervous when we play Essex as Porter and Cook make a habit of ripping through our top order.
Might get an hour's play first thing today, but forecast looks more promising thereafter. Probably a good toss to win and bowl first.

CDG playing and George Balderson not, I don't think that selection is for cricketing reasons.

Off already thanks to rain. Very grey skies. Yes, unfortunately forecast for the next few days NOT good either! Must put in doubt the win we so desperately require. At least we have two knowledgeable cricket commentators for LancsTV/BBC sport for this match, namely Dick Davies of Essex and Callum Flynn for us. |

Following Surrey/Notts with Lancs rained off for now. Started with Kent/Warks but one of the commentators voices put me off so switched.

Foakes has just come in, hoping to see a good performance from him to make England drop Bairstow.

CDG playing and George Balderson not, I don't think that selection is for cricketing reasons. Very disappointing if Balderson has been dropped in favour of CDG. George has out performed CDG this season and is clearly part of the future of Lancashire CCC in a way that I sincerely hope CDG is not. |

George has out performed CDG this season and is clearly part of the future of Lancashire CCC in a way that I sincerely hope CDG is not. It's a like for like replacement. I would have batted GB at four in the current team after his batting performances against Notts, Somerset and Hampshire. I suspect there is a reluctance to leave the overseas signing out. |
