The penultimate home game at Headquarters in the four day game this season, sees us in the relegation zone, we take on Hampshire who are one place above us, coming off the back of a poor result at Worcester it is time to start sticking in some winning performances otherwise we are Colwyn Bay bound next season.
Apart from Jennings and Davies batting is a bit fragile but what does Chapple do?
Croft and Brown return? Although the seconds are top there does seem to be a threadbare look about the side especially as again we are without Livingstone and Parkinson, Mennie could also be a doubt under the concussion rule. Wouldn't be surprised if the wicket will turn more but is Parry capable of bowling a side out.
Hampshire ended a hard four day day nighter with a draw against Yorkshire.
Decent side on paper Vince is in top form and they have a good bowling attack led by Dale Steyn, they also have borrowed Ollie Rayner from Middlesex. Forecast scorchio will be there first two days but note first day will start at 12.00

Would anyone still bet against Faulkner playing? Is Chanderpaul injured? Or the scapegoat considering Chapple considers it a young side. Adding Guest would certainly reduce the average age.
I think Chapple is more likely to play Kerrigan than Brown. Brown was not first choice even in his one day side.

Brown 30 now and looks to be treading water which is a shame have seen him play some decent knocks but these days seems a bit part player |

Hampshire are no great shakes but they'll probably be far too strong for a mentally weak Lancs outfit.

Returned to the caribbean as his wife is about to give birth. Wonder if he will return? His next game would be Yorkshire on 22 July.
Steyn absent also (rested according to Hampshire website).

Thought it was the same pitch, dropping Vince could be costly, good toss to win and it's a tad warm at OT

As Lilley's seventh ball was dispatched for the third consecutive four there was an audible groan in the ground and a lone shout of rubbish

Decent day's cricket although have the feeling that Hampshire's first innings total is already a good one. Good innings by Vince and later on by Roussow, Onions and Bailey have bowled well as did Parry after his initial spell. Lilley bowled poorly and Lamb got three overs. 86 degrees today forecast to be warmer tomorrow 302-6

Any other county would show him the door, but Lancs will probably give him a nice new two-year deal to play mainly for the 2nds. |

451 all out bit tedious after lunch Hampshire refusing runs more turn in the pitch tough one to survive

 Mid afternoon it was 89 degrees F at Old Trafford and the game basically had ground to a halt with Hampshire turning down singles with the score well over 400, they were eventually all out for 450 with Roussow unbeaten on 120. In the morning Hampshire had batted with relative ease. Onions claimed five wickets and bowled excellently in the blast furnace, Bailey bowled well also without luck. Lancs lost three cheap wickets Hameed again leaving the ball pity really he was batting decently. 143-3 at the end Davies on 79 and Vilas have pulled things around still a long was behind but still in the game at the moment. |
