No W ANKER

Offers nothing, batting or bowling

This game has done nothing but good for the reputation and standing of Leicestershire County Cricket Club. We are very much heading in the right direction. A loss is disappointing but Alfonso wanted us to compete in all formats and we are certainly doing that.

Apparently the record is 77 off one over in 1st class cricket. How the heck did that happen? 

Contrived circumstances (as recognised in records). Previous record was 38 by Flintoff. This is an amazing achievement (and from a centrally contracted bowler as well ). This record will last for decades; i hope it gets proper recognition in national media.

County cricket is pitifully ignored by the media. That was fantastic sport and deserves far more coverage.

Kimber was f***ing magnificent. He's not had a great season prior to this but on song he's absolute box office.

 

Gutted we fell just short but absolutely brilliant we (Kimber) gave it one hell of a go instead of tamely trying to cling on for an unlikely draw like other sides would have.

[Cakey]

OK we lost buy that's just incredible. Loved it

 Even in a loss alot to be admired. Cox got out and after that I never fancied  us but what an effort. 

 

Again a few years ago we lose that by sn innings. Hope Kimber kicks on but he is defo a number 6 or 7 not 3.

 

Magic knock 

 

If we had say 5 new bowlers we could really do something 😆

It's a good point about Kimber; he was able to attack the older ball in a way he hasn't at 3.

Like Essex today. Negative cricket.

Would note that since I moaned about Cox he has pulled his finger out big time kept really well and I'd batting with more confidence. 

Fair play

Looks like Rahane back in maybe 

 

[CoventryFox]

Yep. Rahane it is

Even if we got Tendulkar playing and made it free for everyone for the whole summer, they won't come.

They would have got full houses for Tendulkar  he's a god in India but sadly you are correct Rahane won't attract  any more Indian supporters though  the gate

[Silebyfox_89]

It's a shame tbh, not sure how they can build the connection with the Asian community.

 

Back to the signing, Rahanes a good player and should make hay in the RL50.

[Tommy Fresh]

Is he actually about to play this year then

[Voll Blau]

My Indian work colleague genuinely fancies popping down to see Rahane.

[HybridFox]

Oh my God!

[Bert]

Brilliant signing that
