“I’m revisiting the Lancashire batting problem.
“Is there a consensus on what their problem is?”
“Are you saying they’re more like Mentos than Uncle Joe’s Mint Balls?” Once you get past the crunchy outside that is the top three, you’re exposed to a soft, slightly underwhelming midsection, right?”
I think this is very much a Mentos situation, or perhaps a gold bar situation. They’re crunchy and delicious, but even Bohannon has only been in production for half a century this year. Next comes the young but fragile ones. biscuit This talent lacks leadership in the absence of old heads and overseas players, and I feel really bad for him, but he can barely earn points at the moment.
Agar had his nose painted, What he is going to do against Worcestershire what he did against Lancashire last week. Meanwhile, Lancashire are 6-0 against Notts, boosted by the return of Saqib Mahmood and with Nathan Ryan starting this week.
Canterbury looks beautiful on livestream, Lime grass and sunshine. Worcestershire and Kent lined up on the edge of the boundary before play to remember Josh Baker, the talented and much-loved 20-year-old Worcestershire spinner who passed away just over a week ago. Please be silent and clap for one minute.
