Ten past eight on Friday evening and afterthe joy of last night, the wheels appear to have come off this evening.
After a certain Mr Cork took the wicket of the prolific Greg Smith in the first over, we never got going and apart from a spectacular knock from James Pipe and contributions of 25 each from John Sadler and Dan Birch, we're just all out for Nelson (111).
At this stage one wouldn't expect that to worry Lancashire unduly. Six an over with 10 wickets in hand would normally be considered a breeze. Of course, the wicket could be awkward, but my own team's successful Wednesday forays in recent years have been based on better teams than us batting first and overreaching themselves allowing us to chase successfully knowing how we had to pace the innings.
I'll be back later, or tomorrow to report on the result. I'd have to say that I'm not optimistic. Even Langeveldt at his best will struggle to get us anything from this one.
