Lot of rain around of recent. Makes a difference. Just check the other scores.

Just when Lancs thought they might have weathered the "storm" (of Jason and Martin-Longshanks), on comes Appealaball.

Incidentally, has ANY professional cricketer played for more FC teams than this?

Major teams - Pakistan, Islamabad Cricket Association, Lahore, Lahore Badshahs, Multan, National Bank of Pakistan, Peshawar Cricket Association, Redco Pakistan Ltd, Rest of Punjab, Somerset, Surrey, Sussex, United Bank Limited

Law out (pouched by Irongauntlets off Lucky Lukey).

31-4.

Scheeatt.

Dicey conditions overhead. Lancs (Law) chose to bat.

*unusually hollow golf claps*

Somerset 35/6. Don't let 'em off the hook, Super Notts...

Our only hope at the mo appears to be this youngster from Ramsbottom we saw playing in the Leagues against Bacup & Rawtenstall with a brass-andled shovel. Francois du Plessis.

A decent batsman, actually. If he gets into the Saffy team, could be tormenting England for a dozen years to come.

55/7

Glam 55-5

Lancs 54-4

Zums staging a recovery ... might get to 60 yet.

I hope we bowl when we start at 1.30. It's been raining all week here!

Somerset - 106 for 10. Pattinson, 5/40, Adams, 4/39. Well done lads, now let's get at least 250 on the board for once.

GRaeme Hick is currently 92* off 80. It's almost as if he's saying "sure Ramps got 100 100s but I have 135..."

Notts lose a wicket in the 3rd over.

Wow! 4 more down for Notts within 2 overs!



















Sorry Gus.

Lancs procession recontinues.


6 down @123.

Croft 46 out.

Lancs 131-7.

Relegation form.

Nottinghamshire always lose an early wicket - I'd be more concerned if we hadn't than if we had to be honest by now. Matthew Wood's absolute shite, there's no way he should be in the side ahead of Jefferson. If though, as rumoured, Ashwell Prince is the man to come in for Voges, we should have a bit more stubbornness in our batting in future.

There he has it. 103* off 102. The man is a legend and a machine. He should just keep going and going.

Hick = twat.

We were going well until he arrived.

When he has a Farkoff WG Grace beard, he can retire.

But class will out.

I can see Hicky playing in the T20 stuff when he's 50

Not with us, Surrey and Hampshire in the league it aint.

50 stand by Former Derby Captains spares Lancs a bigger humilation.

Dominic is 37 tomorrow, so happy birthday to the old maniac!

.... and he gets out (given LBW). 184-8.
