Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Ted Maul]

Relying on these 2 to deliver again. Big ask! 

[Sunbury Fox]

Going to take a miracle to chase this down from here under scoreboard pressure. Just let them get too many in the second half of their innings.

That’s the game

[MaidstoneFox]

If we can get it to 100 off the last 10, then we have a chance.

Depends how many wickets we have in hand 

 

[Ted Maul]

Pete on the charge. We ain't dead yet.

[Lako42]

This is like watching us field 4 years ago

[Tommy Fresh]

Could be close 

[HybridFox]

Just too many runs conceded. Far too many sixes

[Voll Blau]

Some day out for Aldridge to be fair.

[Ted Maul]

Last 10 overs of their innings killed us. 20 less and I reckon we'd have seen it though.

[LBTufty]

Start the engines.

[Tommy Fresh]

6 not given

Looks over

[Harpenden Fox]

No shame in losing to Somerset, who are an excellent club and have been for years. County can be proud of their tournament.

 

if we can pick up a couple of wins in the last few 4 day games this will have been a very decent season 

[LBTufty]

Didn't want to play Glamorgan anyway (with apologies to Andy Murray)

Well played County.An honourable defence of their title. Congrats to Somerset. 

 

Shame on the ECB that this super  tournament at great grounds over the country isn't on even an iPlayer or sky. 

[Ted Maul]

No complaints, we put up a good fight- great game of cricket. 

 

Roll on the Championship promotion push.

[Brizzle Fox]

Gave it a really good effort in the end.

 

A great defence of their title. 

[katieakita]

Got very close and very fine margins losing Rehane and Kimber for a handful of reasons left us too  much of a mountain ECB did us no favours, did any of our players drafted for the 100 get more than a couple of games, Rehan has hardly bowled a ball for weeks and strong finish in the championship and it would have been a good season. 

[Paninistickers]

I've heard sky commentators complaining earlier in the season about the absurd pause in the t20 tournament and today, the superb Somerset commentary were waxing lyrical about what a great day the 50 over game is for the average punter. 

 

It's hard to describe how detestable the ECB are (and have been for the last 20 years), hellbent on damaging its own sport.

Only the on-loan Scott Currie played more twice out of the five of them, just ridiculous.

[Beagle]

That was another super game of cricket. Overall we’ve had a wonderful tournament and I’ve enjoyed almost every moment. Hugely proud of the boys for their tenacity against top teams and players.
 

The County of Leicestershire can once again speak proudly of its Cricket Club. Thomas and Taylor take much of the credit for that; they have inspired belief and confidence in the players. Their performances, both collectively and individually, have given us a wonderful summer of cricket and can hold their heads high. Onwards! 

 

I would love to have been a fly on the wall on Friday when CEO Jarvis met ECB chief Richard Gould at Grace Road. I gather that there was a bit of ear bending going on! Gould has a responsibility to fight for every cricket club. Whether it be a local village team, Premier League side, “Minor” or First Class Club, he should be doing everything in his power to support them and ensure that they thrive. I am sure that Sean was fighting our corner.

That stint away from us seems to have totally mucked up Kimber.
