Post by: procricket on May 05, 2011, 12:25:42 PM
Good to see young players previously overlooked doing well at Lancs

See were turning Warwickshire over now Proctor is having a good start to his season

good to see him doing well. I played in perth with him in 2006 and was looking a class act then. not so much his bowling (bowling was still class) but batting he had all the time in the world.

Is Tom Smith injured?

Good to see Kegsy getting a game, and getting Belly caught behind

Fantastic stuff.  Lancs have a pretty small squad this year - the players that are there have all had plenty of responsibility placed on them, and they seem to be responding very well.

Well i remember a good start to last season and then we crashed and burned and with a small squad and light in the batting department especially in one day cricket it still will be tough. Maintain div 1 and mid table in the one day format id be happy.

Things will start to bite once more injuries and fatigue start, but it is about time the youngsters were given a go. Cross has been waiting an eternity and we could easily have lost him like Mullaney and others.

Also pleasing to see Lancs get an overseas player who is regularly available AND has something to prove.

still lacking in the batting department which will be a major issue in the summer but some good prospects at last

without doubt rich but if Brownie can have a kind of Nick Speak season we should do quite alright

I cant remember the last time we had one player in the top 10 batting never mind 2 or 3, we just don't have enough players score 1000 runs or more. At full strength the bowling will stand up and has variety and we are decent in the field for sure so if the batting can click then hey you never know but I'm not getting carried away but i believe we have the right man in charge of the first team (GC) and if i could knock 10 years off him then id be a lot happier as he is pure class.

Don't see how Watkinson still has a job and as for Moores well i don't like the man but unfortunately its a job for the boys when it comes to Watkinson in my opinion although he was a quality cricketer while playing for Lancs.

About to wrap up the win.  Kerrigan has 5-6 at the moment.  Awesome stuff.

8-9 between Kegs and Keeds, not too shabby. With no Roof, Smith, Newby or Parry there are decent bowling reserves but the batting is thin unless we take a punt on Jordan Clark or Agathangelou

Keedy and Chapple should both have had a chance with England

a very good win

In first class definitely, in one dayers and T20 Parry has a bit more change of pace and savvy. Shame none of those two plus Keeds know which end of a bat to hold, would make a huge difference to the chances of frequently playing multiple spinnersw.

I have played against Parry he can bat mate make no mistake about that he scored some good runs in the Liverpool Comp for Bottle and in time will turn into a decent lower order player.

Parry is just flatter agree about his change up plus the fact he is one of the best fielders in the country..

Kerrigan has improved his batting no end agree though he needs time to develop more but for me Kerrigan is a better bowler than Parry and in time could be as good as Keedy if not better

There a couple of very good spinners in the academy and Colts section who have a chance and 2 very good keepers one who is a top class batsman in the future coupled with a bowler in the England Development squad it all bodes well for the future

lancs have plenty of all-rounders in chapple, smith, croft, procter & to an extent even saj, plus cross is looking like a decent batter too, so reckon they have plenty of opportunity to play multiple spinners if they want to
