Popular Post sidcow Posted September 24, 2021 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 24, 2021 (edited) I really thought they had blown it yesterday. And even this morning/early afternoon Somerset seemed to be going pretty well but once those wickets started to tumble, they continued to tumble. Well done you Bears. Thank god England released Woakes to play. Edited September 24, 2021 by sidcow 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And of two that did faill they were to batters having a bowl presumably just for a bit of fun. Ludicrous pitch 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blandy Posted September 24, 2021 Moderator Share Posted September 24, 2021 What a win. Spent today watching it on the Edgbaston app on my phone. It’s amazing how they’ve won the county championship despite having so many bowlers injured this season. After we lost to Hants I thought they’d end up winning the title, so some turnaround beating Yorks and Somerset to snatch it 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milfner Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Managed to get down for the final session, great end to the week! The first team to win the Championship without scoring 400, some effort from the bowlers! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was a talking point earlier that Woakes had been released when Anderson and Buttler hadn't... The obvious answer is that Woakes needs overs in him. Not sure why people dont like Lancashire though? Are they basically a cricketing version of Spurs in that their fans think they should be winning everything and the media love them?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veloman Posted September 25, 2021 Share Posted September 25, 2021 One could argue (quite rightly IMO) that winning the County Championship is the pinnacle of the cricket season. So has anyone noticed how little coverage this has received in the MSM ? Sky is obsessed with Ryder Cup and didn't hear anything on BBC - maybe a brief mention. If this had been Surrey or Essex it would have been all over the sports news. (was going to say Lancashire as well :)) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(was going to say Lancashire as well :)) I could get some radio coverage on BBC via Alexa in the morning but when The Ryder cup started they switched to that on 2 different national BBC stations and only provided updates on BBC Coventry and Warwickshire which wasn't even available via Alexa. Not even WM covered it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted September 28, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted September 28, 2021 Lawks a Lordy, Lancs are currently 16-6 in the Bob Willis Trophy. We're not even cheating by having Woakes in the side. Apparently 25 is their lowest ever score in first class cricket. Lowest is 70 v Warwickshire so this could be a record on the cards. Don't want to tempt fate but Brum has really given Manchester a right old kicking in the last 7 days 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starting to think that we might have an outside chance of winning this! The weather forecast is pretty terrible for the next 3 days. They will win if the game is drawn Warwickshire win due to their higher first innings score, but nevertheless I'm suprised they didn't declare and try to get a few wickets tonight. It's surely more satisfying to beat them outright than by default. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it was for the winner (highest points total) of different groups but with the new format it's just the top 2 in division 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
