Enjoyed a great day at Taunton though it was cold. Pity Somerset threw the position away but that’s what happens when you are playing the best. Regrettable that the best have to resort to bringing in a player for one game ; four is bad enough.
Given the fact I mentioned in an earlier thread that Somerset fans were pretty unhappy for lots of last year , it should give Lancs hope that things can change but Somerset then appointed a CE who was welcomed by all the fans ; can anyone see Lancashire doing that ? I don’t think Lancs could afford to pay off all the personnel they would need to dispose of to bring back hope.

Why have we signed Iyer until the end of the season?
It can't be for his cricketing contribution. So is it to market us in India?

I don't have a problem connecting us to India with the talent they've got it's just Iyer isn't one of them! I can't forget him at the Oval couple of weeks ago when we were in trouble 6 down I think for not many he skipped down the pitch, wafted at the ball and got caught Bazball style. |

Lancashire 177 for 6 (Hurst 74*, Bohannon 49, Raine 4-23) vs Durham
Durham’s Ben Raine took four wickets for 23 runs from 18 overs to put Durham in control against Lancashire on the first day of the Vitality County Championship match at the Riverside.
Raine made the most of bowler-friendly conditions to help reduce Keaton Jennings’ side to 177 for six after 78 overs on a day that was shortened by morning rain.
Home supporters might view that as a decent return in a match played with a Kookaburra ball but Lancashire’s plight could have been vastly worse had not Matthew Hurst made a fine 74 not out and Josh Bohannon added 49 during two long sessions when run-scoring was often difficult.
Raine was well supported by Matthew Potts, who took two for 36, while West Indian bowler, Chemar Holder, endured a testing first day as a Durham bowler, finishing with nought for 53 from his eight overs.
Persistent drizzle delayed the start of play until 12.50 and it was no surprise that Durham skipper Scott Borthwick chose to bowl first on winning the toss.
Raine had Luke Wells caught behind by Ollie Robinson off the first ball of the game and then produced a magnificent delivery which nipped away and bowled Jennings for nine in the ninth over.
Josh Bohannon tucked into three wayward overs from Holder before losing his third-wicket partner, Venkatesh Iyer, with the total on 49 when the Indian all-rounder was caught behind off Potts for seven.
Matty Hurst survived for 36 minutes and 26 balls before scoring his first run but Lancashire’s closest shaves came at the other end where Bohannon edged Potts between the wicketkeeper and first slip and survived a confident appeal for caught behind off Raine, before finally falling for 49 when a thin-edged catch to Robinson gave the Durham seamer his third wicket.
Lancashire got to tea on 96 for four but soon lost George Bell for seven when Lancashire’s No6 pulled Potts straight to Holder at midwicket. Although Hurst reached his fourth Championship fifty off 88 balls with seven fours and a six, the visitors soon lost their sixth wicket when George Balderson edged a drive off Raine to Colin Ackermann at second slip and departed for 10.
Hurst and Tom Hartley then batted with great good sense for over an hour, adding an unbroken 39 in 25 overs to ensure that Lancashire didn’t suffer any further damage before the close, although by that time their side still needed 73 runs to secure their first batting point since July 1.

Bailey just ran out Hurst for 90. Maybe calling might be an idea?
Basic schoolboy errors yet again. Coaching is atrocious.

Also noted that David Lloyd on commentary suggested Benkenstein not only is a "really good bloke" but also that his job is not under any threat. I don't know what kind of insights Bumble might have inside Lancashire but it's depressing if true. Sadly the club gets what it deserves if they persist with the current hierarchy. |

Anyone know why Aspinwall is batting 11? Yet another bizarre decision. Best no.11 in county cricket this year. |

Whoever writes the notes for the BBC blames Hurst for his own demise, saying Bailey was quite happy with two.
The commentators initially thought Hurst had made his ground safely, but surmising that his bat must have bounced up at the wrong moment.
Either way, once again no batting points and you would expect Durham to go past 228 well before close, with something like 84 overs still available.
