It is frustrating that Derbys managed to get 115 from the last two wickets.

117-1 at the close, 65 behind. Great position now to push on and rack up a score.

that didn't go so well.. now we'll be hanging on by the fingernails for the draw tomorrow after tea. hope I'm wrong. a win might spur us on to shoot for second place in the last four matches

Lost Greg Smith for a duck, but looks like a very good chance of winning. Hopefully weather stays good.

The club is a complete shambles on and off the pitch. Makes you wonder whether it's all worth the bother, surely the club is operating a loss financially?. Nobody ever turns up to the games unless it's twenty20 and we managed to go through this year's campaign without registering one measly home win. The only player anything was expected of this season (Hoggard), has been average at best.

Oh shut up.

Leicestershire are and always have & will be a small county. We're performing well in the 4 day game with a very young squad.

It's all kicking off behind the scenes, yes, but on the pitch we're not doing too badly considering the financial restraints & inexperience of a lot of our players.

And have James Taylor, Claude Henderson & Paul Nixon had poor seasons? Nathan Buck?

We have some strong foundations to do have a few good seasons, fingers crossed the off field issues are cleared up soon too.

Exactly, we're a small county and it's impossible for the club to move forward. I wasn't suggesting that the club should cease immediately, but I bet plenty of board members have gave it a brief flitting thought and why wouldn't they, money has become the game and surely the LCCC books are pretty bleak financially. All this behind the scenes stuff makes you wonder whether anyone is enjoying themselves at the club. No matter what you think of Davidson and his brutal honesty, he speaks sense, no home wins in the twenty20 is a complete disaster. Unfortunately, twenty20 in the county game is 90% of the season because of the money it brings. As for foundations, they won't last, if the young players are good enough they'll be moved on to the bigger counties. The whole county game in England and Wales is on the slippery slope and it's clubs like LCCC that suffer the most, the national game is practically everything now.

You cannot deny the club is deep trouble, and ever since winning the twenty20 with our golden group (Maddy, Hodge et al.), the club has been struggling to tread water in the deepest of oceans.

I was watching the 2nd team at Harborough last week and was having a drink in the clubhouse when in barged Tim Boon with 3 players, he sat them down in the bar and told them to look for other clubs!!! Everyone heard it, it was pretty unprofessional to be honest. The players in question were Joel Pope, David Masters and A J Harris. I spoke to someone from LCCC and they also said James Benning has been told to leave too.

In my opinion they shuld get rid of Harry Gurney, poor-average bowler at best.

Spoke to Hoggy also about whats going on at LCCC and he's says he can't believe what a nightmare he has walked into and wants an escape route.
