Will be over by lunch I fear. There is no belief in the side, they are just awaiting the inevitable. Iyer could have been out almost every ball he faced, hasn't looked anywhere near a four day cricketer for us. Shut the door on your way out Chilton and Benkenstein. |

Iyer was only meant to play two championship games. Why on earth was his contract extended?

Probably another desperation overseas signing in place of Iyer and another couple of innings defeats. Not sure how any management team presiding over this level of incompetence can possibly continue, but then again this isn't your standard elite sporting setup. 9 down, another player with career best figures against us and barely made the second hour of play let alone lunch. |

Chilton will be congratulating himself on discovering a brilliant all rounder, Anderson Phillips.
Anyway, we just about made it to lunch!
6 points out of 72, takes some doing does that.

Notts also lost by an innings when they looked to have reasonable prospects of saving the match. Don't think it will save us because we are in a death spiral from which the current management is incapable of extracting us.

Notts just need 6 bonus pts v Kent and draw the game to send us down irrespective of what we do. |

Quite shocking this fall from grace from where Lancs were a few years back finishing second looking like finishing teams off and a bit of luck with the weather was what was holding them back. Now its a massive shambles.

Durham 573 for 9 (Bedingham 279, Ackermann 186, Wells 4-69) beat Lancashire 228 and 282 (Hurst 67, Bohannon 56, Potts 9-68) by an innings and 63 runs
Durham maintained their control of their Vitality County Championship match against Lancashire on a day when David Bedingham became the highest individual scorer in the county’s first-class history.
Bedingham’s 279 surpassed Martin Love’s 273 against Hampshire in 2003 and his innings was the bedrock of his team’s 573 for nine declared. Facing a deficit of 345, Lancashire ended the day on 155 for four with Matthew Potts having taken three of the wickets. Keaton Jennings’ side therefore need another 190 runs to avoid their fourth innings defeat of the season.
And it was a day when other records tumbled at the Riverside. Bedingham and Colin Ackermann’s 424-run fifth-wicket partnership set a new record for any wicket in Durham’s first-class history, easily eclipsing the 334 put on by Stewart Hutton and Michael Roseberry against Oxford University in The Parks in 1996.
It is also the eighth-highest fifth-wicket stand in the history of first-class cricket and the second highest first-class partnership for any wicket against Lancashire.
The mammoth stand was eventually broken by the leg-spinner, Luke Wells, who had Ackermann leg before wicket for 186 in the fourth over after lunch. Wells then enjoyed more success when he had Ben Raine caught at backward point by George Bell for 17 and Bas de Leede stumped by Matty Hurst for four.
Tom Hartley took his only wicket of the innings when he had Potts leg before wicket for four and the declaration was applied when Bedingham was caught at long-on by Anderson Phillip off Wells. He had batted 489 minutes, faced 359 balls and hit 27 fours and a six.
Wells finished with respectable figures of four for 69 but was soon out in the middle again when he opened Lancashire’s second innings with Jennings. However, their alliance lasted only nine balls before the Lancashire skipper was caught at second slip by Ackermann off Potts for nought.
Josh Bohannon joined Wells and guided Lancashire to 49 for one at tea but the visitors lost two wickets in five balls immediately after the resumption. Wells was bowled by Callum Parkinson when attempting to reverse sweep the slow left-armer and George Bell was caught behind by Ollie Robinson off Potts for a two-ball nought.
Bohannon and Hurst then added 73 for the fourth wicket in increasingly untroubled fashion before Bohannon groped at a ball from Potts without moving his feet and was caught at first slip by Scott Borthwick. Hurst ended the day on 43 not out and he and George Balderson ensured no more wickets fell before close of play.
However, Lancashire have so far earned just one point from this match and their relegation fears will not have been eased by this third day’s play. By contrast, Durham have eight points with plenty of power to add more tomorrow.
Durham’s Matthew Potts took a career-best nine for 68 to help his side complete their innings and 63-run win over Lancashire in the Vitality County Championship match at The Riverside.
Resuming on 155 for four and needing another 190 runs to avoid defeat, Lancashire were bowled out for 282. The only shred of comfort for the visitors was offered by 20-year-old Matty Hurst, who made 67, his second fifty of the match and fifth half-century of the season.
At one stage of his devastating spell from the Lumley End, Potts was on a hat-trick but he had to settle for three wickets in four balls when Tom Bailey nicked his second delivery to first slip Scott Borthwick. The Durham spearhead finished his first spell on this final morning with figures of 10-1-30-5 and ended the game when he had Anderson Phillip leg before wicket to complete a match return of 12 for 126.
Durham take 24 points from the game, effectively ending any lingering fears of relegation, whereas Lancashire take one point, a return which keeps them in ninth place in Division One.
Lancashire’s collapse began with the ninth ball of the morning when George Balderson was leg before wicket to Potts for 16 but it really moved into top gear about half an hour later when Venkatesh Iyer played on to the Durham fast bowler and Tom Hartley immediately lost his off stump when not attempting a stroke.
Bailey prevented the hat-trick but nicked his second ball from Potts to Borthwick to leave yet another Lancashire innings in tatters on 195 for eight.
Hurst and Anderson Philip delayed Durham for a few overs but Borthwick’s bowlers were not to be denied. Having made a fine 67 off 125 balls, Hurst hooked Potts to long leg where Callum Parkinson took an excellent tumbling catch a few inches from the boundary rope.
After an entertaining last-wicket stand of 61 in 12 overs between Anderson Philip and Tom Aspinwall, the game ended when Potts was recalled and dismissed Phillip for 41. Aspinwall finished unbeaten on 26.

At no other club in any top division professional sport in the UK would the management and coaching staff still be in a job this afternoon given the last couple of months results and performances. None. Welcome to LCCC.

Sadly, I fear Any Port is right. I can only think of one occasion in this century when a disastrous season has led to any changes in the management. That was in 2014, when Mike Watkinson resigned as DoC following yet another relegation to Div 2. However, MW's position as DoC was largely tokenistic, unlike that of Chilton, and had just been a way of kicking him upstairs in 2008 to make way for a new Head Coach. This season will see the fourth relegation of Lancashire to Div 2 since two divisions were introduced. During that time Lancs have spent 22 seasons in Div 1 so are averaging worse than one relegation every six years. This season has been particularly bad in that the club has played well below expectations in every single competition.

It will actually be the FIFTH relegation:
2004
2012 (after winning the Championship the previous season)
2014
2018
2024? (Probably don’t need the question mark).
Clearly we don’t like even numbered years.
Despite this, we’ve always been promoted back straight away and hold the “honour” of being the club which has spent the least time in the second division.
We have spent 19 seasons in division one, as of course 2020 and 2021 were the conference-style seasons.

Quite right, Dave. I'd completely forgotten about 2018 (probably an unconscious desire for things to be better when actually they're worse!)
