New season started today (yay).

Lancashire v Surrey Day One washed out (booo).

Honestly, what’s the fucking point starting the season at this time of year? What do they expect?

Worcestershire's ground will be unplayable for two more months because of the floods apparently.

Blimey, you don’t see many triple hundreds in April!

ends on 335* which is the highest 1st class score ever at Lord's. which isn't a bad ground to hold that record.

He must have had a decent net over winter.

He had 410* against Leicestershire in 2022. He has form for this We won that game, but this one looks like a nailed on draw unless conditions change.

Worcestershire's ground will be unplayable for two more months because of the floods apparently.

It feels like it's been flooded more often than it's been dry this year. Flooded again just before Easter. Oddly, in spite of New Road being right on the banks of the Severn, it's the Teme that's actually flooding the ground. Lots of talk of moving elsewhere from Ashley Giles if funding can be found which would be a shame but the current constant flooding isn't sustainable.

Century off 69 balls for Harry Brook, who appears to be back.

Easier pickings in Division 2 presumably? But great to see him back. Love watching him bat.

Did I say YCCC made a loss of £8m last year despite hosting an Ashes test? That can’t be good news in the long term?

Keaton Jennings scoring 172 - England call up incoming?
 

George Bell run out on 99 with a direct hit, bit unlucky I think and would have been interesting if they had DRS in the County Championship.

Lancs skittled, not good.

Lancs skittled, not good.

They always seem to get skittled by Essex. Saw some negative comments about the coach already. Did he come from Durham? Do we just have a fairly ordinary batting line up these days? Never seem to produce decent batsmen (Bohannon isn’t too bad I guess).

Lancs batted alright last week, perhaps favourable conditions? I think Essex just seem to be very strong this season in all departments.

They were on and off a lot and it’s cold and grey. And Essex do always have a good bowling attack. But they raced to about 62/1 off 9 overs. Maybe we just bowled poorly.

Watching it Live on You tube now. Definitely struggling for wickets here.

105 all out second innings. Lost by an innings and a bit. Very shite.

[Yosser0_0]

That's bad, very bad. Snater the pick of the bowlers perhaps with 7 wickets in the match?

I have to say that I was surprised Lancs brought in Lyon as the overseas player. Early days but he hasn't looked that convincing, regardless it just doesn't come across as a particularly exciting or inspiring signing.
