Hoggard retired today.

 

Good news for us that, gets a massive amount of the wage bill, and should allow us to sign a couple of decent players.

 

Fair play to hoggard though had a great career, just a shame he couldn't get out on the pitch more for us.

[Corky]

Hopefully it'll rain for days on end to save us from a thrashing by Lancashire.

Hampshire 362-2

 

Absolutely fookin shit these are, release all of them.

[Corky]

At least we won't lose our best players, because we haven't got any.

[kingfox]

Saw Ned Eckersley got two wickets the other day.

 

Says it all really, he was wicket keeper last season.

We used 9 different bowlers today again says it all. Massive change needed for next season if we're at least trying to get into the top half. Hope Ned stays and I like Raine, the only two positives of a dibolical season.

If we lose Eckersley out batting points won't reach double figures next season.

To be honest Leicester has some brilliant sports teams.Leicester cc are not one of them.

[Voll Blau]

Yorkshire surely aren't serious about Cobb? 

 

Losing Eckersley would be a massive blow, may as well give an Everard's League XI a go at this rate.

[Voll Blau]

Sad to hear the Radio Leicester cricket commentator John Shaw died today.

[katieakita]

Have the county actually been linked with anybody for the new season.

[SMX11]

I'm not sure anyone would want to come. Certainly need 2-3 good signings to avoid the wooden spoon again.

Hi All,

 

Bit of an odd question but what colours do Leicestershire play in in one day games?

 

Tried to look on the website but its awful.

Red and Black

[Bilo]

Red and black, with red being the main for 50 overs.

Black and red, with black being the main for T20 matches.

Nice, will tell my mum to get knitting me a cricket sweater!

[Voll Blau]

If you want a sweater in their colours I'm sure the trim is red and green.

[Chilwell_Fox]

I was thinking that aswell. Wish the website had a link to an online store and I would buy one off them

Dark green and read on the old traditional pullovers.

 

Much prefer them to the new fleece types, they just look the absolute bollocks.

[Chilwell_Fox]

Cheers guys!

[Voll Blau]

This Rob Sayer looks a half-decent prospect, took two wickets in as many balls for England u19s this morning.
