T' 2022 cricket season 11:22 - Apr 14 with 49453 views | D_Alien | So Lancs finally start against Kent at Canterbury, a game behind most of their rivals (except Yorkshire) We're back to a post-Covid more traditional two-division setup with more red ball cricket being played mid-summer No Jimmy Anderson in the line-up | |

This goes back a long way The Nawab of Pataudi played for England in the infamous 1932/33 "Bodyline" series in Australia. He was dropped by his captain Jardine (who himself was born in India) despite scoring a century, after objecting that the tactics were ungentlemanly! Before him, Ranjitsinhji who was ruler of the state of Nawanagar, first played for England in 1896 (i remember it well) [Post edited 7 Oct 2022 12:54]

T' 2022 cricket season on 20:48 - Oct 12 with 1032 views | isitme | A very interesting England squad for the tour of Pakistan. Jennings gets his reward for an excellent season and looks likely to open with Crawley. The lack of a second spinner is a real indictment of county cricket. Root and one of Livingstone or Jacks may have to bowl a lot of overs. Although if pitches are too spin friendly it does negate some of the strength in depth that Pakistan has in its seam bowling department. It is good to see Wood and Jamie Overton offer a bit more pace to the attack. Stokes' reverse swing could be invaluable with the older ball. It should be a good series. | | | |

Livingstone hasn't bowled in red ball cricket since the end of the 2021 season, but it'd be really interesting to see how he got on, on spin-friendly wickets with his variations. You'd think his batting would fit right in with the current ethos lower down the order too, i hope he gets his chance A very different but fascinating series for Stokes and McCullum to try to continue with the current momentum | |

T' 2022 cricket season on 15:07 - Oct 15 with 878 views | Statzdale | Littleborough CC team of the season in the Lancashire League. First and Second teams both division winners and U18 joint champions. Plus a certain Clinton Perren scoring his 20,000th run in 15 seasons at the club. The future is looking bright at Hare Hill [Post edited 15 Oct 2022 15:09]

T' 2022 cricket season on 19:58 - Oct 15 with 799 views | EllDale | I always used to think that the Lancashire League looked down on the CLL quite unjustifiably. OK, so a lot of their expensive professionals were better but the standard of the amateur players was about the same. The way that things have shaken down since all the various regional leagues reorganised proves this to my mind. | | | |
