Another poor batting display from the top order. (well, two of them) Morgan has been very lucky to still be in there.

Champions League T20 gets the Gary Ballance treatment.

As Bumble would say. Wallop.

Good old Barry Gallons. Like the old adage says, if the top order can't do it for you, leave it to a southern African middle-order biffer.

Yes indeed, but circus cricket that we're involved in.

Gary Keedy leaves Lancs to go to Surrey. I cry.

I've always rated Keedy over the years - best uncapped English player of his generation etc.

After my initial surprise I'm very happy with this signing. We're clearly looking for a top order batsman as our main overseas player, so Keedy seems like an ideal replacement for Murali Kartik (the best spinner I saw in the Championship last season) who is only one year younger, and a good foil for Gareth Batty. Furthermore it can surely only benefit our two young left arm spinners Zafar Ansari and Freddie van den Bergh to have someone like Keedy to mentor them.
