Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[SMX11]

Loughborough's car park isn't big enough. Ground is fine though.

[Voll Blau]

RIP Mike Turner. Did a lot for the county.

On the subject of outgrounds, would imagine Royal Kibworth would soon be pushing for a first team game? Hinckley is an absolute dive (or was when I played a game there a couple of years ago). Harborough's might be up to scratch if they build a new clubhouse.

 

Shame Ibstock's ground's not bigger. Love their pavilion!

Matt Boyce retired. News on twitter that there will be a big overhaul over the squad this winter.

Between 6-8 of the deadwood going i think people like wyatt, redfern etc. Cobb is coming back from what i understand.

Well that's a start and some on here think supporting the City is hard.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Adil looks a good prospect so he can hopefully grab one of the batting positions, not sure what to think of Redfearn because he never plays, perfect for 1 day cricket but we never see him. I don't think Jefferson has ever been properly replaced, is it 3 seasons since he retired?

Poor weather forecast for this weekends double header.

I don't think Boon, Whitaker, Habib, Smith, Nixon, Parsons, Millns, Mullally have ever been replaced!

Who do you play for Voll?

 

I play for Ibstock, we've just had all the big conifer trees to the left of the pavillion chopped down, looks very different now

Don't quite get your point, all the players you mention were replaced by decent players, Wells, Maddy, Stevens, Lewis, Ormond, O'Brien, Broad, Taylor, Jefferson was our best opening bat in recent years and years later has still not been properly replaced by a competent opening bat.

I agree he was a decent player.

 

I was basically just saying our playing staff has been guff for about 10 years barring the odd exception

[Hooky]

The axe starts to fall.

 

Wyatt and Pinner not having their contracts renewed, slightly surprised by Pinner.

[SMX11]

Didn't really take his chance at the start of the year and has terrible beard.......

Not sure how Wyatt has lasted this long, never really threatened keeping a first team spot.

Some interesting ins and outs will be taking place at County over the winter, major overhaul planned.

any interesting links then?

 

Like the way McDonald and Khan seem to be approaching things

Riz you know of any of the ins?

[everton carr]

Gordon muchall from Durham and Tim van der Gugden are rumoured to be signing McKay should be signing for another 2 years

[SMX11]

Gordon Muchall would be a good signing. Never even heard of the other if I am honest.

Edited 27 July 2015 by SMX11

[everton carr]

Van der Gugden is an Aussie fast bowler played in the big bash who has a European passport Dutch mother

[SMX11]

Oh right, quite young as well. Where did you hear these rumours?

[everton carr]

Heard this from an ex board member at the ground on Sunday who's right more often then not would both be good signings

[RizLCFC]

I can't reveal any names I'm afraid. The 3 players we want, one is a South African batsman who we are trying to sign as a Kolpak player, the other is a young talented English wicket keeper, and lastly a former fox to return.

Also, the last 2 depend pretty much on us getting rid of 1 member of our squad, which we are trying to do. Sorry I can't give you any names, otherwise I'll never be able to tell you anything.

Should be a busy morning tomorrow at the club, several announcements to be made.

So dissapointed if its some one like Wayne White coming back. Thoughts are its Cobb or Thakor.
