We set new negative records in every game we play. It's unbelievable

I love how Beuran Hendricks has quietly disappeared. A proper Josh Low signing. And on loan Joey Evinson, who seemed to take the field against India for a day or two and then trundled back to Nottingham!

Evison is playing for Notts today, always seemed a little odd that we were paying out for another seamer, when we had so many on the books.

I assume Hendricks' contract has been cut short and we won't see him again.

[CrawlingFox]

Hard to look past another innings defeat here, yet again our bowlers just can't shift the opposition and we'll crumble predictably unless Hill can carry us.

Crikey life we are diabolical

16 no balls already! How on earth have we managed that?

20 by the end of the day! 40 runs in no balls.

[Sunbury Fox]

My lad and I stayed until the very last ball of the day. Was a very hard watch from a Leicestershire point of view but a glorious day to watch cricket nonetheless. Credit to Parky and Ackers who bowled very tidily and looked quite threatening too. The seam bowling other than Wright, who didn't have any luck, was unbelievably bad: 34 overs, 221 runs for 1 wicket. If Sussex are the next worst side to us, based on the table, then hard to see where we go from here.

Sunbury was your lad in a Leics 4 day top and were you sitting in the Pavilion?

 

If so we were two rows behind you.

 

Quite a few Leics fans enjoying the south coast weather.

Yes that was us!

[Cakey]

It was desperately poor. No excuse for the no balls. Just a lack of discipline and professional pride. Not if any of them are rapid. 

 

Regardless of lack of quality a professional cricketer should be able to land a ball roughly where they want. 

 

I mean I can still do that at Club level. 

 

Ben Mike is great. Love the guy but he appeared to get the yips. 

 

Mulder seemed to miss his run up twice an over? 

 

odd

 

With the no balls, full tosses and countless wide half volleys they didn't have to work at it. 

 

As bad as I've seen tbh. With the ball

 

Going back tomorrow..

The Leicestershire way 

[LBTufty]

Three wickets so far for Rehan on his England Lions debut, all in back-to-back overs as he went from 0-21 early on to 3-27 at one point before a little bit of long handle tap towards the end of his spell. 

[Lako42]

I assume Sussex are using this as batting practice as they could have declared about 250 runs ago and still done us by an innings? 

[LBTufty]

I see Ben Mike is bowling to Sean Hunt at the moment.

 

Hope the commentary team are being particularly careful! 

[Lionator]

Closest one wins a dairy milk.

 

Sussex win by an innings & … runs.

 

I’ll go for 237.

135

 

By the way, we are already 0/1 after Azad went for a GD 

[LBTufty]

Small bar or the full family-sized b@st@rd?

 

I'll say 125

[Lionator]

Kimber and Patel putting a shift in. Would be great for Kimber to get a ton up before close. Seems to be one progressing nicely in the red ball stuff. 

[LBTufty]

Ran out of overs but hopefully a good kip tonight before going on to his double-hundred tomorrow afternoon. Settle for 159/1.

[harpendenfox]

Well that's an excellent partnership between Patel and Kimber. Let's hope one or both of them can go on and score a massive century. At least that's a session we can be pleased with, and there have been all too few of them.

[CoventryFox]

Sussex- 47 overs, how many no balls?

 

None
