Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[SemperEadem]

We use the loan market very well now, bringing in good quality and not just a body.

Think he will get a T20 or 50 over game before too long  but think he's  way off test cricket he barely gets a wicket in the first class game atm

You are right - annoyingly means we lose him for two months that horrific competition in August too.

When did performances at County level ever stop them calling someone up to the test side

Agree with you up to a point  esp regarding Rehan but even so think he has something like 9 fc wickets at around 60 and not really looked that impressive  in fc cricket

[Graceroad]

Just had a look 9 fc wickets at 75 economy  of nearly 5 and a strike rate of 93  ouch

[Beagle]

Second eleven playing a Yorkshire side including Joe Root in Sheffield this afternoon . Currently batting 61-3 off 10.

Needs to improve obviously. Barely played though. Hopefully have a decent run with the new ball when it resumes. 

 

He may decide if he keeps on picking up niggles that white ball cricket is enough. 

 

He is also taller than billed I'm 6ft 5 and Currie who was with him is about my height so tall but Hull  towered over us two.  I'd say he is 6ft 8 or 9 tbh

 

Nice kid. Very approachable

Yeah it was more a dig at the selectors to be honest he shouldn't be getting a call up to the test side but he's been name checked and it wouldn't be the first time someone who hasn't warranted a call up has got one.

Given his height, he will be earmarked for the next trip to Australia. What's his speed like?

Getting quicker. Quicker than Potts last night we'll seemed it on TV. Early mid 80s? 

 

He will get quicker once he is fully grown etc. Only 19. I'd say 83 to 85 ish. 

 

Never any guns when we play

Ha ha  Yep. Shit ones at that when I first started playing. Two in the entire team and two sets of pads. 

Even shite players turn up with full kit now.

i forgot about this part of the forum, anyone even bothering heading down tonight? based on the current table I wouldnt be mad at sharing points with Lancs

[Sir Steve Howard]

Attendances for blast across the country will surely fall off a cliff now due to clashing with the Euros

I know what I'd rather watch. 

 

Being at a T20 vs sitting at home watching mostly shit teams on TV.

Yeah, I saw him out in Nottingham after the One Day Cup final and he is absolutely colossal. Seemed a really nice lad but was obviously absolutely battered

Not saying the grounds will be empty but surely affected.

Obviously they've made the blast clash with Euros rather than their precious hundred

I paid 32 quid at Canterbury to see Kent. My son lives there so we went. 64 quid for two tickets. Jesus

 

Alot there though. 14 quid for a Thai curry!! 

 

So yep I appreciate our prices

Awful pricing that.

 

Can’t make tonight but think my mate got his ticket for a fiver. Can’t beat it, will get plenty through the gates spending more inside the ground. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Swindells in for Budinger tonight. 

[Bordersfox]

Hull on fire!
