Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Wsl]

And depressingly, once again we look like struggling to get half of what the opposition have amassed by way of runs, in conditions that don’t appear to be worse than yesterday. Unless our tail wags like a dog with five tails.

Well done, Michael Finan! 5 wicket haul against a very decent team. 

 

Fully expecting us to lose this one by an innings as can't see how we'll score many against their seam attack on this wicket.

Have you seen the dismissals on this wicket? It’s hardly a minefield, Some incredibly poor batting from both sides 

[CrawlingFox]

Our batting is shot to pieces. Confidence in the gutter. So bad that Nixon has dropped almost every batter in turn and is now packing the lineup with bowlers.

Scoreflash from the 1870s - Lancashire 131 & 73 beat Essex 107 & 59 by 38 runs in just over 4 sessions.

Shambolic.

[CosbehFox]

I suspect we won't have any punishment handed out for that joke pitch 

[CrawlingFox]

Fair play to Scrivo digging in with Swindells for a 50 and the ton partnership. Guts.

That coach journey back to Manchester will be carnage. 

[AjcW]

That's got to be Essex ****ing the pitch in the hope it'll work in their favour surely? Massively backfired clearly.

Have every faith in the ECB coming down very hard on this. Can see Leicestershire being docked 25 points for this 

[Voll Blau]

Come out with some confidence in this session. Just reward for the pair of them if they can push on to really good scores now.

[LBTufty]

Mike's first innings for the Yorkies ends clean bowled for 8 playing no shot to Surrey's part-time leggy, Steel (best bowling, 3-104)

Yep, sorry!

Scriven has lots of potential, first time (I think) he’s had a good innings with the bat.

[Tommy Fresh]

Think this match has reinforced the need for a top overseas opener or top 3 batsman.

One of our better days today. Well played the middle and lower order actually making a game of things after the usual top order trauma. Young Scriven has had a decent game thus far

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

We will actually be going into day 3 still in the game! A rare occurrence indeed.

well batted the “non batters” 

[CrawlingFox]

Scriven can bat. Finan can bowl.

 

What's going on!?

First time he’s been given the chance… rotted in the 2s most of the season. Our selections this season in all formats have been baffling.

[Wsl]

Well done, our five tails!

He had a broken rib which is why it took a while for him to get in. His howling has been very tidy when he’s played but he’s not got going when batting - so it’s pleasing he got a half century today.

 

I agree about the selections generally though, no rhyme or reason half the time.

[Silebyfox_89]

Nixon like Rodgers has past his sell by date and needs to go.

 

Fresh thinking and impetus needed, too pally pally within the setup I.e. coaches and staff. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Fair play to the bowlers and Swindells for helping us get close to the Middlesex score. Today was definitely one of our best in the Championship this season against a strong team.

If Ackermann is our best player, I'd hate to see our worst!! 

Had a mare this year hasn't he. One massive score papers over it. 

 

Hopefully comes good last few innings. 

 

Only player we have who averages 40. 

 

That used to be regular occurrence in a top 6 batting order.
