Benkenstein's championship record now
Am I misremembering this, or did Mahmood only want a white ball deal with Lancashire until they changed the rules about NOCs?
Better than a lot who have been released by Old Trafford management. Long list of released players still playing 1st XI cricket for other counties but allegedly not good enough for Old Traffird. From Simpson onward. Problems pre date Benkenstein afterall someone appointed him and stuck with him over the winter. Board have huge questions to answer.
He / the club hierarchy certainly changed his mind, cant remember exactly when or why. Pay as you play red ball maybe.
Don't have a problem with importing a previously succesful overseas such as Harris. Stuart Law was a good signing. Better than taking a punt on a Joe Burns or Tom Bruce or an all rounder who doesn't bowl and bats at 8. But yes, I understand the point. Lancs recruitment always hit and miss: Wayne Wayne, Imran Tahir, Nathan Buck, Kabir Ali.
Sorry @chris.hinton, I cursed you!
Damn, I'm worse luck than JD Vance today!
Looks like somewhat of a controversial caught and bowled to end the innings too.
He hits a bloody good ball though mind
We were very fortunate in the opening round of the season with the weather, even on flat pitches that resulted in draws, the matches were still exciting, but in the last two rounds by the age old problems with weather and light have reared their heads. OK British weather is what it is, but you’d think in the 100+ years of CC cricket, we’d have done something about bad light…
Fair play that he stuck it out today when the brittle Kent middle order tried to make the game interesting by trying to lose.
