Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[NiftyFox]

180 all out. White gets 5 wickets. Derbyshire avoid the follow on.

[Corky]

In a great position though, 144 ahead.

[NiftyFox]

How many more runs do you think we need until we declare. 150?

[Corky]

Rack up plenty before lunch tomorrow.

Lead of 250-270 and put them back in.

[Corky]

76-1 at the close, lead of 220.

[Narborough Bod]

76-1 at the close, lead of 220.

Bat for an hour, aim for 300 then put them in. 65 overs plus the last hour. Chances of the weather holding out???

Certainly we look promising at the moment. Keep it going lads.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

How is Martin Van Jaarsveldt allowed to back out of his deal with LCCC using his poor form as an excuse and then play all winter in South Africa and then sign a T20 contract with Glamorgan for 2012 (although why he would want to go there is beyond me) I really dont understand what has gone on with him.

I was thinking this as well, very unprofessional of him. Good parntership between Boyce and Cobb to steady our ship.

[Voll Blau]

I reckon Sarwan will be a shoe-in for the Windies tour over here, so we'll probably lose him for the Test series too.

[SMX11]

Is wish we could show this sort of fight in the first innings. Never seem to do it though.

[kingfox]

Nice to see someone trying to steady the ship, in games like this we usually lose by an innings and 100+ runs.

Good to see Boyce and White making a fight of it, and frustrating the Yorkshire bowling attack.

exactly the same as Kruger 3 or 4 years ago. Cites fatigue as reason for not seeing out last year of contract then buggers off to Glamorgan.

Kruger was pants though to be fair

Kruger was pants though to be fair

I'm sure he must have had a good game once...

[kingfox]

First 40 over match of the season for us today.

Lancashire have posted a total of 296-3.

Bowlers punished big time, simply not good enough.

[katieakita]

Sadly the foxes have a budget on a par with Cov city, year on year they bring in cheaper and cheaper players, were just a nursery for Notts

[marko]

Decent start to the innings; keeping up with the required run rate.

74-1 after 10 and a bit overs.

[NorthernFox]

Still in with a shout, Josh Cobb just completed his century (off 81 balls 6 4s, 3 6s)

[AmericanScott]

Glad to hear Josh Cobb is doing well for LCCC. Had good laughs with him in year 10 and 11 Spanish lessons.

[NorthernFox]

Cobb just gone for 137. 74 needed to win off 56 balls......

[leicesterisme]

Cobb out for 137 off 99 balls.

Leicestershire 224-4. 31 overs.

[NorthernFox]

Just fell short, lost by 5 runs. 291/7. Cobb 137, Boyce 64. Cracking effort.

[I am Rod Hull]

Just fell short, lost by 5 runs. 291/7. Cobb 137, Boyce 64. Cracking effort.

I didn`t think we`d get that close.

Good effort.

[brockmyster]

Cobbs started season well, can see this being his last year here tbh
