Leicestershire County Cricket Club

Two wins at both the sides playing in Division One last season.

 

Was excellent from both Ahmed and Ackermann to make that chase look so easy.

 

Chris Wright was the one who turned the game though.

10 wickets and a 200+ chase in a day is a great effort, whatever the opposition.

 

Think we'll come up short in the promotion race but it's great to be well in the mix at this stage of the season.

Chris Wright is unbelievable

Yep. Assume that he has decided not to play T20 as his ability to take wickets and smash some quick runs would be a massive upgrade on the likes of Salisbury and Davis.

Excellent win. Made it look easy by the sounds of it. Plenty of teams could have crumbled even after a quick start.

Random one but does anyone know of any teams in Leicestershire looking for a friendly game this Sunday? Our opponents have dropped out.

He said in an interview with Radio Leicester earlier in the season he would like to be considered for the T20. You would imagine he’d have better averages than Lilley with the ball and probably most with the ball etc, though do understand the county might not try to overplay him.

fantastic win in a proper 4 day game with no contrived run chase needed. Hopefully we have turned a corner as no way a few years back would we have had the mental strength to win that. The Worcs defeat was a hard one to take but we really did not have any luck with the umpiring in the game with some shocking decisions not going our way

Will be down if nothing comes through mate!

[Kinowe Soorie]

What a bowler Chris Wright is. Let’s hope he can carry on for a few more seasons yet!

[SemperEadem]

Taking my lad to his first game tonight up at Leeds.

[Hitesh]

Decent start....81-1 off 8 overs 

[Sunbury Fox]

That's twice now that Yorkshire fielders have signalled 4 when it looked like the ball had cleared the boundary.

[Voll Blau]

Probably still Yorkshire's to lose but we've given ourselves a fighting chance. Enjoyed Mike going the distance a few times.

 

Ger Malan cheaply and it's game on.

[katieakita]

unusual umpiring thought over head height was wide yet clearly not applies to Yorkshire

[BigWesMorgan]

I think it’s going to be 10 or 15 short but you never know

[CrawlingFox]

Kimber is a good player. Hopefully got us enough.

[Tommy Fresh]

Couple of instances of lazy fielding out on the boundary this innings

[Sunbury Fox]

Lyth and Malan are quality players but this is terrible from County. So bad that I've turned off to watch the England football game.

Complete lack of awareness

[Walshy5]

Malan should've been out on 1. 3/1 after the first over with their best Batsman out and it's a different game. Corrupt umpiring! Cricket is getting just as bad as football when it comes to the top sides getting the decisions

[Sunbury Fox]

Dear oh dear. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

What a great start! Then truly awful

Not contenders for this competition appear to be just going through the motions
