Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Beagle]

Top of the league tonight. And with a bowler down for most of the game. Is this really the club that didn’t win a single match last year?

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Fantastic win, great all round effort, Handscomb a typical reliable Aussie, Rishi, great knock and a great team effort 

Proud of the team 🦊

[RowlattsFox]

Cricket is brilliant when you read back some of the first day comments. You just never know. What a win. 

[adam]

What a win that is. First win at headlingly in 113 years. Which is also pretty mad.

Completely mad considering how many times we would of played there!!!

Handscomb could be a worry for England if he's hitting that kind of form for us this early. Bloke looked like he barely broke sweat in that chase.

[StanSP]

What a start to the season.

Assuming we've at least managed to win at a Yorkshire outground in the past 113 years?!

Get drafted in like Labuschagne did and score no end

[ealingfox]

We're gonna win the league

[Tommy Fresh]

Really confirms what everyone agreed on last year that it was pretty naive to not bring in an overseas batsman. Handscomb and then Rahane afterwards should make a huge difference in keeping us in games.

Looking forward to wearing some Leicestershire gear at the headingly test 👍

[Corky]

Absolutely brilliant. What a start to the season.

Imagine posting 517 first innings and losing. Christ 

Didn't we do that last season and lose by an innings to Glamorgan?! 

 

Back to today, what a great win for the lads. Let's hope we can finally have a good season in the CC.

Yes see above. I realise we’ve also been shit historically. Unbecoming of the self proclaimed best county on earth though. 

[CrawlingFox]

Incredible. So pleased!

Ironically, watching the stream today, there was swathes of disgruntled Yorkshire fans that were not happy that they didn’t declare sooner!

Yorkshiremen were always going to give them shit either way, but they definitely don't deserve it for trying to actually win a game that had a few hours wiped out - especially in the Bazball era where there seems to be pressure from above (even more so for counties that provide more Test players) to play aggressive, risky cricket too.

Could you imagine the scenes if we went up this year

After the football crap the cricket has cheered me up
