Ahh I guess he will retire after that then. Not sure Grant Elliott performed that well in his spell with the club. Need someone who can average 40+ in championship cricket.

Greg Smoth would, unfortunately, be a step back?

Grace Road going to be redeveloped http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/cricket/33719772

[Goober]

anyone else following the game? madness

[Lionator]

Lost by 1 run ffs.

[SMX11]

Jesus, turned off the commentary when N'OB got out. What happened in the last over?

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Needed 9 off the last over and 3 off the final ball, 2 bits of fantastic fielding in the last over by Gloucester won them the game, great effort by Ali, Burgess, Taylor and McKay to get us close after looking dead and buried at 5 down.

[Wymsey]

At least we're starting to become more competitive, that was unlucky really.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Just needed one of our senior players to contribute more runs and we would of won a fantastic game of cricket

[everton carr]

According to Cricket info Northants could be on the verge of going bust.Who knows Cobb and Duckett may be at grace road next year

[SemperEadem]

That anything to do with their cheif exec who was with us a few seasons back?

Probably, he left under a bit of a cloud here too.

Seems so lost over 300 grand last year and smith has been banned from the ground.As bad as we are on the pitch at least things seem to be going well with Wasim in charge already forecast a profit this year and some new sponsors in place just need to sort the side out now

[Hooky]

Good Points - Robson could be back in nick, Burgess and Ali have been impressive, Taylor's got his eye in. McKay and Raine are knocking out the stumps.

Bad Points - the top order are seriously letting the team down. I'd rest Cosgrove and Eckersley, bring in Agathagelou and Wells assuming he's not crocked.

I'd also tell Agathagelou to look at making no 3 his own in the 4 dayers. Give him a run before deciding on whether to retain him.

I'm a bit surprised we haven't given Kurtz, an opener from the 2nds a go in the first XI, could be in for the next Championship game.

[SMX11]

Jigar Naik is being released.

For all the positive talk, this season is almost worse than the last two, which is some achievement. Would be hard to blame it on the new leadership, but somehow we need a major injection of new talent over the winter. Quite possibly four or five new players, batters for the most part.

 

I'm wondering if Cosgrove is on a one or two year deal. Whilst Mackay has clearly been a success, I'm not so sure about Cosgrove frankly.

 

Really sad to see us continue to bump along the bottom. Changes are afoot in the professional game in England. I think we really need to see some significant improvement next season or the end could be around the corner.

Been an odd season. There've been times we've been really competitive and others when we've been rank - sometimes in the same game eg v Surrey away when we batted out almost the entire final day for what seemed a certain draw only to let them get 220 off about 20 overs to win. Last few weeks have been v disappointing, though. RL Cup a complete disaster - to lose so heavily to a no mark team like Derbys is shockingly bad.

[everton carr]

Wayne white expected to sign in the next few days

[SemperEadem]

Terrace bar up town will be all over this news.

[Hooky]

He's just been released by Derby.

[SMX11]

Jesus wept I thought we were in talks with good players?

[Lionator]

Apparently he gets on well with McDonald, basically a last shot in county cricket for him. He's totally wasted his talent so far imo. 

[SMX11]

On McDonald's head be it. I seriously hope this isn't one of the supposed 4-5 good players we are in talks with.

[stevelcfc]

Another horrific result today. Cosgrove has been pretty crap, and doesn't move his bloody feet! Pretty sure he signed a 2 year deal didn't he?
