Batting has been dogshit all season. All out for 105. Another game chucked away.
Is Ramprakash moonlighting as our batting coach?!
The batting really has been poor for a while now. On paper, Lancs should have easily enough batting quality and enough depth down the order to regularly put runs on the board. Out of the One Day Cup and 3 losses out of 6 games in the Championship isn't the start I think many will have expected.
2 big 4 day games versus Worcestershire and Hampshire before the T20 starts in early July. 2 wins and things could look a lot rosier.
EDIT: Just looked at the batting averages and Lancs only have 4 players this season with a batting average in 4 day cricket of over 30. 2 of those are bowlers (Mennie and Clark).
Hameed has scored 44 runs in 8 innings. Livingstone 167 runs in 9 innings. Alex Davies 179 runs in 9 innings. All 3 are really promising young players but they need to start putting runs on the board. Can't have a top order that is regularly 4 or 5 down before there's a 100 on the board.
