I can tell you now if that happened in a 100 game, the ECB would have loved it with the coverage it would be getting. 
 

Somehow a club which were proven to be a racist harbouring institution and given a punishment has somehow managed to get the funds from a test match, maintain a 100 franchise, keep all its England players and end up in a Blast QF.

The ECB fund about 75% of our income. Although we want to blame them, we perhaps need to look at ourselves 

The ECB really divide the money fairly then, yes we need to look at our discipline and find out what has happened. Sky pay the money ECB just divi it up but hardly fairly. Also plenty of other counties in the same boat as us

I’m gutted for all of us, but we need to know what happened. We know we were carrying a warning, and it was obvious there were words towards the end. If players have sworn at umpires (and I don’t know if that’s the case by the way) then this was inevitable 

It will be for the send off. Neesham tweeted about the ball being dead earlier today so presumably knows how angry Leics are. There might have been some verbals for the umpire not giving the stumping on Thurs, but it looked at the time they took it quite well considering the images seem to show it should have been given out.

Made today's game pointless, anti competitive and financially hit for LCCC.

 

F*** the ECB.

Do hope people still go. The ECB would use it as a ‘people losing interest’ excuse come September if they don’t. The players deserve a show of support.

 

On another note, have the ECB named the players who presumably must have been charged with something?

I've read on Twitter that it's Naveen and Lilley.

 

Lilley was likely, Naveen for the beamers?

Stitched up big time! Absolutely gutted by this. I've really got into this campaign and was so pumped up for today. What a horrible way to end it all. Could we not appeal to at least get it suspended to next season? Suppose not and even if you could then it would fall on deaf ears. Can't risk having little old Leicestershire mixing it with the big boys!

Anyone got images of the stumping not given as it looked closer to a run out and seemed to be an awful decision, the Foxes don;t win much so hopefully a little understanding about the situation would not have gone amiss

 

 

Would have been difficult to see the back leg off the floor for the on-field umpire to be fair. Would have been out if on Sky.

Think the Leics statement said they’d already tried that.

He was well down the wicket thought it was out without seeing the foot in the air

The ECB will probably deduct us points for Kohli having a go at Bairstow and he was playing here last week so obviously we must have taught him

It's 'great sport' when kohli does it.

 

Illegal when anyone else does it....

 

Money > morals.
