Essex v Lancashire Chelmsford 20/4/2018 to 23/4/2018
Lancashire head to County Champions Essex hoping for a better performance than the shambles on Monday morning, hopefully batting conditions will be better but no excuse for the feeble effort against Nottinghamshire.
Fair play to Essex deservedly won the title last season however due to their abandoned game at Headingley last weekend winning it again has been made slightly more difficult but saying that they are still above Lancs who actually played.!!!
Liam Livingstone will be hoping Lancashire can make full use of what he believes is an away team advantage in terms of early season conditions in the Specsavers County Championship when the Red Rose take on Essex tomorrow.
Lancashire are looking to bounce back from their opening round defeat to Nottinghamshire against the reigning champions at the Cloudfm County Ground, Chelmsford.
Despite the six-wicket loss, engineered by a superb fourth day bowling display from Notts on Monday when the hosts lost eight wickets in double quick time, Livingstone is refusing to be downbeat.
The cricket comes thick and fast in Division One ahead of next month’s break for the start of the Royal London one-day Cup, so there is plenty of time for Lancashire to get back on track.
“It’s only one game, and we go again at Essex,” said Livingstone. “We've still got another four big games to start the season.
“That morning session can happen in cricket, especially early season.
“I do think that it is a little bit of an advantage playing away from home for the first couple of games of the season because you get the better of the conditions because the grounds are still damp.
“I think we had the tougher of the conditions, but I also think we were outplayed, which is the main thing. If you play good cricket and not have the best of the conditions, you can hold your hands up.”
