Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[LBTufty]

An inexperienced 2nd XI team selected for the 4-day game against Worcs with Sam Evans, Hendricks, Rhodes, Steel and Rehan Ahmed not involved for various reasons.

Paterson, Patterson-White and Pattinson is like when you manage in S. Korea on football manager and you forgot which player is which because the names are similar 

[CosbehFox]

Got over 400 in 110 overs - superb effort and this little partnership by Mike/Davis is pushing the total on.

Nabbing Ali and Ed Barnard from Worcs. Going for Mahmood from Lancs too. 

 

Worcs had slowed down that talent drain in recent years but looks like its back. 

I really fear for the smaller counties,

I was talking to a Notts fan yesterday who's friends with Paul Johnson ex Notts now on Leicester Coaching staff mainly the academy he said Jonno was complaining that because of the squad size it meant some good youngers weren't able to get 2nd team experience

Just saw this

 

Leicestershire´s opening partnerships this season have totalled 389 runs, at an average of 25.93. The last wicket partnerships have totalled 433 runs at 33.31

Notts going at 6 an over. We could still lose this!

[Tommy Fresh]

Good to see Notts push on here and actually attempt to make a game of it. They could have easily batted out the next two days and put themselves in a position where they couldn't lose

Might lose wkts going hard. Both need a win let's be honest

[Sunbury Fox]

Bowlers getting battered..... 

[katieakita]

292-2  off 52, that is some going by Notts. To score 440 and by the looks of things not being on top is some achievement from the Foxes, need some wickets before the close

[Kinowe Soorie]

The economy of the bowlers, is shocking. Davis in particular, going at over 6 an over.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Parkinson has actually got quite good figures, plus a couple of wickets.

[Kinowe Soorie]

The no 8 and no 9 for Durham both got tons, one of them being Ben Raine!

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

It’s a possibility that we have scored 440 first innings and still lose the game!

[Tommy Fresh]

Hameed scoring at the rate he did tells you all you need to know about today

[MaidstoneFox]

Welch has been called up as a concussion replacement for Kimber

I'd say it's a probability from this position.

Nothing epitomizes the state of our team better then that stat. Let's hope the bowlers can save us again, or this could be an innings defeat. 

[Tommy Fresh]

Set up nicely for an Azad defensive showing

[Sunbury Fox]

Mulder gone. Our overseas players have been utterly rank this season apart from Naveen. Amazingly, this looks like it will be over in 3 days after we scored 440 in the first innings!

[Tommy Fresh]

Thought that looked tight for Welch

Why play back to a slow spin bowler?  Do the coaching staff discuss with the batsmen how to play each bowler or is it left to chance?
