Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Sunbury Fox]

Seems to be tradition now to get battered here by these. Mulder has been very poor so far this season. Need more from our overseas players.

3 wides in the first over we bowl. Our friend Ben Mike goes for 17 in his first over. Not a glorious start thus far at Wantage Road

The fact that those picking the team seem to think picking Mike in white ball cricket is a good idea, doesn't say much for squad depth, and whoever thinks it's a great move to bowl Mike in the power play, is seriously deluded!

[Blueman1967]

We been well and truly hammered, hope we try to get near it

[harpendenfox]

Well, whatever happens, that first over performance from Rishi was superb. He really is some player. Love him

He’s miles ahead at the top of the scorer in the competition

you would imagine he will get a Hundred gig, and he deserves on frankly. I think Josh already has one doesn't he? Our team for our Metro Cup defence might be a little thin, to say the least

[SMX11]

Budinger 🤦‍♂️

[Ed 1]

Sound like a broken record but we won’t anything with Handscomb coming in at 3 in the powerplay 

[Bordersfox]

Patel is a really classy player isn't he?

[Lionator]

That’s an unreal knock from Rishi

a hundred in 41 balls. What an achievement. The best Rishi in the country !!

[Bordersfox]

What a drop that is. Make hay now Rishi

[goody2028]

Great knock Rishi

bugger. But what a knock. Handscomb and Mulder have enough experience to see this through with ones and twos and the occasional boundary. Keep our heads

[harpendenfox]

Kimber once again making a minimal contribution. Trouble is Hanscomb just pushing ones puts all the pressure on the batter at the other end

[HaroldBazBo]

Indeed all about heads now

 

Hull, Ahmed and Patel must all be in England T20 contention.

I hope so, they are fine in the other formats, but not really t20 specialists. We could do with a power hitter

Indeed. Patel is so much better than anyone else, it's almost embarrassing. Mulder hits a nice four, gets us ahead of the curve, then holes out. I know it's an easy game played on a keyboard, but sometimes our thinking is not great

[CrawlingFox]

Patel has blossomed into a really serious player across white and red ball.

 

Great to see players like he, Hull and Ahmed developing into top county players with us.

I think we should look at Scotland’s McMullen as someone who could bat at 3 for the rest of the Blast. A serious hitter and can bowl as well.

[HaroldBazBo]

Idiotic batting here. Totally unnecessary.

Mike

such a lack of cricket intelligence, frankly

[goody2028]

Ffs, great 19th from Sanderson though. 

[harpendenfox]

19th over. 5 wides off the first ball. Then we manage two singles of the six balls. I mean it's a great game of cricket, but we are so bloody frustrating
