Disregard what Bumble says always seems to be promting ideas which seem to have come from his paymasters at Sky, go back to three day games on uncovered pitches play ever one once and then they will actually learn how to bat and bowl

Not enough, I'm afraid. Scrap LBW, bring back curved bats and make all players wear top hats again, then we'll be in business.

What about allowing only the upper class gentry to bat and bowl. Everyone else below them can only field?

**themaclad** · 25-03-2019, 23:34

Only have two stumps and grow excessively long beards

Lancashire have opted not to renew England batsman Haseeb Hameed's contract when it expires at the end of the season.

The 22-year-old was informed on Friday of the Red Rose county's decision, and is now free to talk to other clubs.

The opener averaged nearly 44 in three Tests for England in India in 2016.

But he has struggled for form in the three years since, his century against Middlesex in April his first in the County Championship since August 2016.

Hameed has spent the last month playing for Lancashire's second XI, scoring an unbeaten 159 against Leicestershire's second string on 12 August.

A Lancashire statement said: "The club would like to thank Haseeb for all of his commitment and efforts since he made his first-class debut in the 2015 season, having come through the academy."

Sad news let down by those that coach him
