Them three should be totalling 250 alone.

That would mean all three of them of them averaging over 80 each, and Don Bradman is the only batsman ever to have achieved that.

So Lancs currently have three of the greatest four batsmen of all time?

(Mind you, with the wet weather excuse there ought to be plenty of not outs to boost the averages!)

The wet weather has actually saved us from 2 defeats this year. And if we'd played the Hampshire game at OT instead of Liverpool the weather may have earned us a draw in that one as well.

Anyway, back to the proper cricket tomorrow.

How many points do you get for a win in T20? And how does the whole group system work? Top 2 teams progress to the next round?

Soz, I'm a newbie to T20 me like.

Have you actually seen him play recently, or not?

If he was picked purely as a bowler, you may have a point. But he's being picked as an all-rounder and it's all going wrong.

And anyway - we weren't doing too badly with Tom Smith's bowling, were we?
