Kent onto a winner there as soon as the 4th wicket went down with the score on 22. The boy Coles has some sort of hoodoo over our batters.

Shahzad off across the Rubicon (well, Pennines) to Lancashire. Best of luck to him.

So Lancs make a complete mess of yet another Championship match and then bat properly in a 40 over game. To say I'm unimpressed is an understatement...


Anyway. Shazhad to Lancs anyone?

That was the early rumour. Suppose going to Lancs means he doesn't have to up sticks from Bradford.

Don't think there's a lot in the 'baggage' theory. He's a genuine 90+mph bowler capable of swinging it both ways. If Yorkshire think that's not what they need, then they're idiots and Lancashire have little to lose.

As long as he's not a Yorkshire plant then I'm very happy with that.

No play at all for the first two days at Hove. I could be wandering around the Brighton arcades at this rate...
