Matthew Potts' Nine-Wicket Haul Powers Durham to Innings Victory

Matthew Potts’ Nine-Wicket Haul Powers Durham to Innings Victory

By September 12, 2024 0

Durham’s Matthew Potts unleashed a devastating spell of bowling to secure a resounding innings and 63-run victory over Lancashire in the Vitality County Championship match at The Riverside.

Resuming on 155 for four, Lancashire needed 190 runs to avoid their fourth innings defeat of the season. However, Potts’ relentless pace and accuracy proved too much for the visitors, as he ripped through their batting lineup, claiming nine wickets for 68 runs.

Lancashire’s collapse began with George Balderson’s dismissal for 16, followed by Venkatesh Iyer and Tom Hartley’s quick departures. Potts’ hat-trick bid was denied by Tom Bailey, but the Durham spearhead soon had Bailey caught behind for 195 for eight.

Matty Hurst, who had scored a fifty in the first innings, provided some resistance with a gritty 67. However, Potts’ relentless pressure eventually forced Hurst to hook a delivery to long leg, where Callum Parkinson took a stunning catch.

Anderson Philip and Tom Aspinwall delayed the inevitable with a 61-run last-wicket stand, but Potts returned to dismiss Philip for 41, completing a match return of 12 for 126. Aspinwall remained unbeaten on 26.

Durham’s victory secures 24 points and effectively ends their relegation fears. Lancashire, on the other hand, take only one point, leaving them in ninth place in Division One and facing the prospect of relegation to the second tier.

The bad news for Durham is that Potts will now join England’s squad for the one-day internationals, making him unavailable for the county for the rest of the season.

Bedingham and Ackermann Star as Durham Dominate Lancashire

Bedingham and Ackermann Star as Durham Dominate Lancashire

By September 10, 2024 0

Durham’s David Bedingham and Colin Ackermann put on a batting masterclass against Lancashire, guiding their team to a commanding position in their Vitality County Championship match at Chester-le-Street.

Bedingham, who has been in scintillating form this season, notched up his third Championship century and surpassed 1,000 first-class runs for the campaign. His unbeaten 177, coupled with Ackermann’s 111 not out, propelled Durham to a formidable 367 for 4 at the close of play.

The pair’s unbroken stand of 268 has already set a new fifth-wicket record for Durham in first-class cricket, eclipsing the previous mark of 254 set by Bedingham and Ned Eckersley against Nottinghamshire in 2021.

Lancashire, who were bowled out for 228 in their first innings, struggled to contain Durham’s batters. Ben Raine claimed 5 for 44, but the visitors failed to earn a batting bonus point for the third consecutive match.

Durham’s openers, Ben McKinney and Scott Borthwick, fell cheaply to Anderson Phillip and Tom Bailey, respectively. However, Bedingham and Alex Lees steadied the ship, taking Durham to lunch on 46 for 2.

After the break, Bedingham and Ackermann took control of the innings. They weathered two lbw decisions in quick succession, with Lees falling to Phillip for 43 and Ollie Robinson being trapped by Tom Aspinwall for 4.

Undeterred, Bedingham reached his 1,000th first-class run of the season and went on to score his sixth Championship century in just 15 innings. Ackermann also reached his century, ensuring that Durham ended the day with a commanding lead of 139 runs.

Lancashire’s bowlers toiled hard but were unable to make any further breakthroughs. Jennings’ decision to post five men in the deep proved ineffective as Bedingham and Ackermann continued to accumulate runs at a steady pace.

With the sun shining and the rain holding off, Durham supporters witnessed a batting display that has put their team in a strong position to secure a victory.

Lancashire's Relegation Fears Deepen as Raine Wrecks Havoc

Lancashire’s Relegation Fears Deepen as Raine Wrecks Havoc

By September 9, 2024 0

Lancashire’s relegation fears intensified on the opening day of their Vitality County Championship clash against Durham at the Riverside. Ben Raine’s devastating spell of 4 for 23 from 18 overs left the visitors reeling at 177 for 6 after 78 overs.

Raine exploited the bowler-friendly conditions to dismantle Lancashire’s top order. Luke Wells fell to the first ball of the match, while Keaton Jennings was bowled for 9. Josh Bohannon and Matty Hurst provided some resistance, but Raine’s relentless accuracy and Potts’ 2 for 36 kept the pressure on.

Bohannon departed for 49, edging a catch to Ollie Robinson off Raine. George Bell and George Balderson also fell cheaply, leaving Hurst stranded on 74 not out. The Lancashire opener’s gritty innings, which included seven fours and a six, prevented further damage before the close.

Durham’s bowlers dominated the day, with Chemar Holder enduring a difficult debut, finishing with 0 for 53 from eight overs. The home side will be confident of securing a victory that would boost their own promotion hopes, while Lancashire face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

Ollie Robinson Stars as Sussex Crush Lancashire in T20 Blast Quarterfinal

Ollie Robinson Stars as Sussex Crush Lancashire in T20 Blast Quarterfinal

By September 5, 2024 0

Ollie Robinson’s stellar performance propelled Sussex to a resounding eight-wicket victory over Lancashire in the T20 Blast quarterfinal at a sold-out Hove. Robinson, who was overlooked for England’s Test squad, showcased his exceptional bowling skills, claiming two crucial wickets and executing a pinpoint run-out of Liam Livingstone.

Despite Lancashire fielding seven internationals, Sussex dominated the match from the outset. Robinson struck with the first ball, dismissing Phil Salt, and later yorked Keaton Jennings to trigger a collapse. Livingstone briefly threatened with two sixes, but Robinson’s direct hit ended his innings on 43.

Sussex’s bowlers, including Brad Currie, James Coles, and Jack Carson, kept Lancashire’s batsmen in check, restricting them to a mere 114 runs. Robinson’s 18 Blast wickets this season, coupled with his impressive Championship record, have solidified his status as a formidable bowler.

Sussex captain Tymal Mills praised Robinson’s contributions, highlighting his exceptional new-ball bowling and fielding skills. Mills believes Robinson’s performance will enhance his reputation on the franchise circuit.

Despite missing Jos Buttler, Lancashire’s batting lineup failed to deliver, with Robinson’s bowling proving too potent. Sussex’s victory marks a significant turnaround from their struggles two years ago, when they finished near the bottom of the County Championship.

The County Ground was packed to capacity, with the crowd enthusiastically welcoming former Sussex players Salt and Luke Wells. Sussex will face a tough challenge at Edgbaston without Jofra Archer, who is unavailable due to England’s T20I series against Australia. However, their impressive performance in the quarterfinal has instilled confidence that they can end their 15-year wait for the Blast title.

Liam Dawson's Heroics Lead Hampshire to Innings Victory over Lancashire

Liam Dawson’s Heroics Lead Hampshire to Innings Victory over Lancashire

By August 31, 2024 0

Hampshire’s Liam Dawson starred with both bat and ball as they crushed Lancashire by an innings and 37 runs at Emirates Old Trafford, securing a vital victory in their Vitality County Championship clash.

Dawson’s first-innings century and match-winning 10-wicket haul propelled Hampshire to their third innings victory over Lancashire in 158 matches. The triumph also marked Lancashire’s first consecutive innings defeats in the County Championship since 1907.

Lancashire’s batting woes began in their first innings, where they were dismissed for 200. Dawson’s five-wicket haul, including the key scalp of Keaton Jennings, played a crucial role in their collapse. Hampshire enforced the follow-on, and Dawson continued his dominance, claiming another five wickets in the second innings.

Luke Wells provided some resistance for Lancashire with a half-century, but his efforts were in vain as Hampshire’s bowlers, led by Dawson and Mohammad Abbas, proved too strong. The victory earned Hampshire 22 points, while Lancashire collected just three, leaving them in danger of relegation.

Dawson’s all-round performance was a testament to his exceptional talent. His match figures of 10 for 99, coupled with his first-innings century, highlighted his versatility and impact on the game.

The victory was a significant boost for Hampshire, who had lost their previous match at The Oval. It also marked a disappointing setback for Lancashire, who now face an uphill battle to avoid relegation.

Hampshire's Century Hopes Dashed by Lancashire Fightback

Hampshire’s Century Hopes Dashed by Lancashire Fightback

By August 29, 2024 0

Hampshire’s hopes of securing a victory over relegation-threatened Lancashire were dashed on the first day of their Vitality County Championship match at Emirates Old Trafford. Despite a century from Fletcha Middleton and a solid partnership with Nick Gubbins, Hampshire could only manage a score of 330 for 9 at the close of play.

Middleton’s second century of the season, a 173-ball knock with 13 fours, and Gubbins’ 75 helped Hampshire establish a strong position at 158 for 1 in the mid-afternoon. However, Lancashire’s bowlers fought back admirably, taking six wickets in the evening session to leave the visitors in a precarious position.

Tom Aspinwall and Luke Wells were the most successful bowlers for Lancashire, claiming three wickets each. Aspinwall’s wickets included the crucial dismissals of Brown and Prest, while Wells accounted for Gubbins, Middleton, and Turner.

Hampshire’s skipper, James Vince, made a brief appearance at the crease but was dismissed for just five runs. Ben Brown and James Fuller also made contributions, but their innings were cut short by Aspinwall and George Balderson, respectively.

Liam Dawson remained unbeaten on 46, hitting a six and a four off the last two balls of the day to give Hampshire a glimmer of hope. However, Lancashire will be confident of securing a positive result on the second day, with Hampshire’s batting lineup depleted and the pitch offering assistance to their bowlers.

Venkatesh Iyer Returns Home After Underwhelming Stint with Lancashire

Venkatesh Iyer Returns Home After Underwhelming Stint with Lancashire

By August 29, 2024 0

Venkatesh Iyer, the Indian all-rounder, is set to return home after completing his stint with Lancashire in England. Iyer has played five List A matches and one first-class game for the County side, but his performances have been underwhelming.

In the One-Day Cup, Iyer scored 15, 4, 9, 15, and 25, while taking three wickets. In the County Championship match against Surrey, he registered scores of 4 and 15.

Despite his lackluster performances, Iyer remained in good spirits during a fun video session with Lancashire. When asked to choose between two players, Iyer consistently picked his Kolkata Knight Riders teammate Phil Salt.

However, when faced with the choice between Brendon McCullum and MS Dhoni, Iyer毫不犹豫地选择了Dhoni。Dhoni的名字随后与Virat Kohli相提并论，但Iyer仍然选择了Dhoni。

当Dhoni的名字与Sachin Tendulkar一起出现时，Iyer犹豫了几秒钟，然后微笑着说：“MS Dhoni。”

Iyer在2021年印度超级联赛赛季中确立了自己作为一名强大的顶级击球手的身份。他在那届比赛中的出色表现帮助他获得了印度白球国际赛的征召。除了击球能力外，Iyer还作为一名缝合球手带来了宝贵的技能。

Jos Buttler Targets Lancashire Return in T20 Blast Quarter-Final

Jos Buttler Targets Lancashire Return in T20 Blast Quarter-Final

By August 25, 2024 0

Jos Buttler, England’s white-ball captain, is targeting a return to action in Lancashire’s T20 Blast quarter-final against Sussex on September 4. Buttler has been sidelined since the T20 World Cup due to a calf injury but has been working diligently to regain fitness.

Buttler’s return is a major boost for Lancashire, who are battling to avoid relegation in the County Championship and have struggled in the Metro Bank Cup. The T20 Blast represents their best chance of salvaging their season and reaching Finals Day.

Lancashire coach Dale Benkenstein is optimistic about Buttler’s availability, stating that he has been “doing a lot of rehab” and is “very keen to play.” A fitness test on the day of the match will determine his participation.

Buttler’s return will also be a welcome sight for England, who face Australia in a T20I and ODI series in September. Buttler has been backed to continue as England’s white-ball captain despite the departure of head coach Matthew Mott. He will work alongside interim coach Marcus Trescothick during the series.

Lancashire will also be bolstered by the return of Saqib Mahmood and Phil Salt, who were rested for the Championship defeat to Surrey. Liam Livingstone and George Dockrell are also expected to be available.

Mahmood’s workload is being carefully managed after two injury-plagued summers, while Salt has been nursing a back injury. Benkenstein believes that having a full-strength team for the knockout stages gives Lancashire a “best chance” of reaching Finals Day.

However, Buttler and other England players named in the T20 squad will not be available for Finals Day on September 14, which clashes with the second and third T20Is against Australia.

Surrey Crush Lancashire for Innings Victory, Extend Title Hopes

Surrey Crush Lancashire for Innings Victory, Extend Title Hopes

By August 25, 2024 0

Surrey’s dominance in the Vitality County Championship continued as they secured an emphatic innings-and-63-run victory over Lancashire at the Kia Oval. Resuming day four with a commanding lead of 214 runs, Surrey’s pace attack proved too formidable for Lancashire, dismissing them for 177 in less than two sessions.

Conor McKerr led the charge with a superb 4 for 27, while Dan Worrall and Jordan Clark chipped in with three wickets apiece. Lancashire’s hopes rested on Matty Hurst, who fought valiantly with a 64, but the Surrey bowlers maintained their relentless pressure.

Lancashire’s batting woes began early as Worrall dismissed Keaton Jennings and Rocky Flintoff in quick succession. Josh Bohannon and George Balderson followed suit, leaving Lancashire reeling at 82 for 5. Hurst and Venkatesh Iyer provided some resistance, but Clark broke the partnership after lunch.

Tom Hartley and Hurst showed some resilience, but McKerr’s introduction proved decisive. He removed Hurst for 64 and then claimed two more wickets in his next over. Tom Aspinwall and Josh Boyden departed cheaply, leaving Hartley as the last man standing. He was eventually dismissed by McKerr, giving Surrey a comprehensive victory.

Surrey’s triumph extends their winning streak to seven matches in the Championship this season. They remain firmly in contention for a third consecutive title, while Lancashire’s hopes of challenging for the top spot have been dealt a significant blow.

Rory Burns' Career-Best 227 Gives Surrey Commanding Lead Over Lancashire

Rory Burns’ Career-Best 227 Gives Surrey Commanding Lead Over Lancashire

By August 24, 2024 0

Rory Burns’ magnificent 227 propelled Surrey to a commanding position in their Vitality County Championship clash against Lancashire at the Kia Oval. The Surrey captain led from the front, anchoring a mammoth 444 for 9 declared on day two, giving his side a 236-run advantage.

Burns’ marathon innings spanned seven and a half hours, during which he faced 348 deliveries and struck a six and 29 boundaries. He found an able ally in Ben Foakes, who contributed a fine 82, as the pair forged a 197-run partnership for the fourth wicket.

Lancashire’s bowlers toiled hard but were unable to make significant inroads into Surrey’s batting lineup. Dom Sibley, Will Jacks, and Sam Curran all failed to capitalize on starts, while India’s Sai Sudharsan made a brief appearance before edging to slip.

However, Jordan Clark’s unbeaten 25 helped Burns add a valuable 50 for the seventh wicket. Burns eventually departed after skying a catch to Matty Hurst, but Surrey’s declaration came soon after, with Tom Lawes and Conor McKerr dismissed cheaply by Tom Hartley.

Lancashire’s young team, with an average age of 25, faced a daunting task in their second innings. They managed to reach four without loss before bad light ended play, but the deficit of 236 runs looms large.

Surrey’s dominance on day two has put them in a strong position to secure their seventh Championship win of the season and boost their hopes of a third consecutive title.
