This is on spotify too for those interested. Comes across a very grounded young man. Special things await.

The guy interviewing is painful to listen to

Gurbaz with his third ODI ton against Bangladesh. Looks an impressive cricketer and only just turned 20 too.

And now he's bagged himself a go in the IPL with the Gujurat Titans.

I wonder what Elaine Cockbill does for a living.

Northants 296-8 on day 1, but we only actually took two wickets, the rest were retired out. I would guess that it's a very good pitch with all the dry weather.

Any body know when the new overseas are arriving?

Always wait until we bat before making such claims!

Haha! Yeh we're 81-6 at the moment, maybe it swung around this morning  Azad now batting for the second time. No Hill or Ackerman at the top of the order though.

I popped in for the morning it's free. I am working nearby and just went for an hour. 

 

Looked flat as and we kept missing straight ones. Left now as Azad was coming out for a second go. 

 

Kimber looked OK

Have we been blamed for England's defeat yet?

Agnew warming up for that

[Cakey]

Looks like we will be without our overseas to start with. Both of them..unless I've missed something.

Agnew seems to be ratcheting up his nonsense lately. Can't wait for his latest 'hot take'.

[Corky]

It is clearly Leicestershire's fault on their relative pittance that Surrey and Yorkshire with their vast resources aren't producing top international players.

No sign of Scott Steel, Rishi Patel or Lewis Hill in either of the warm-up games. Are they all injured?

Steel and Patel have only played white ball cricket for Leics excepting 1 appearance from the latter at the end of the season.

Thought Patel played a few tbh but may be not? You'd think Hill would play next week and depending on when the overseas arrive those two also. 

 

I imagine Mike will drop for Mulder and Barnes for Hendricks.

I checked on Patel. He played against Worcs in CC at end of the season but that’s it.
