Pitch inspector has already been and looked...said it was one of the best pitches he'd ever seen apparently!!

Funny how quickly the pitch inspector was there for us though when it took a press complaint to get him up to Edgbaston and for Warwickshire to be deducted points the other week...the ECB plot to stop us winning the title continues

Worrying late developments at Old Trafford, hope for some Collingwood grit tomorrow.

England bowling well in the ODI, but Sri Lanka's batting has been pretty pathetic.

Why, what's happening at Old Trafford??...Builders gone on strike or something??....

Now, if you mean what's happening at Aigburth, then let's hope Colly shows some of that Ashes winning form from this winter...

I still dont know how Pyrah gets so many wickets... I played against him as a junior (albeit he was a few years younger than me), and he had a 60 yard run up to bowl nothing more than medium pace even at junior level. Somebody must have worked with him somewhere on that as he is becoming more of a bowler than a batter, which was the total opposite as a kid.

P*ssed with Andrew Gale too, backed him for top batsman last week when he was stumped second ball for 2. Learnt a lesson, left him alone yesterday and he bangs in 60 odd.

I had a look at the wicket on Tuesday dinner. Not a mark on it. Apparently it was just the conditions on Monday - muggy as hell.

Spare a thought for poor Alviro Petersen - the proud owner of a King Pair in the Derbyshire-Glamorgan match this week. Now that's a real rarity.

It's a pity he didn't collect that in the Surrey v Glamorgan match, instead of his double century.

Lancs probably happier after the opening day of the Roses game at Headingley, forecasts for the next few games seemed mixed so it's hard to know how much play we're going to get.

Hopefully Jacques Rudolph will be able to pick up from where he left off.

A good first day for Lancs, helped by some 20/20 style batting from the Sarj at the end of the day! Sounded like the pitch is doing a bit but isn't too bad if you apply yourself. Bat for another hour this morning, get up to 350ish then skittle them later today would be very nice! Anyone going to any of the days at all? I'm tempted by Saturday but depends on a) state of the game and b) weather forecasts
