Derbyshire sign Matt Montgomery from Notts what a great signing we have missed out big time

Most state schools in Leicester do have acres of playing fields I believe Guthlaxton Lancaster Boys Countesthorpe College Beachamp certainly fo

Not just us getting poor crowds Northampton better location nicer ground get less then we do even the likes of Warwickshire and Glamorgan in prime locations playing at test match grounds barely get more then 500 through the gate

If Glamorgan win they will get 20 points if we draw without anymore bonus points we will take 14 so only 6

Just to add Ealham was better then Pringle who somehow got 30 tests imo

Mark Ealham was a steady enough cricketer for England batting average 21 bowling average 28 .He was never going to be a match winner but he wasn't terrible often get you 30 down the order and chip in with 2\50

Couple of 2nd team players Dunk and Tarling in the Bedfordshire side v Derby today Inc ex fox Abu Sakande .Snooker legend Joe Johnson also getting a game at the age of almost 80. 😊😊

Yep not sure who that 7th county will be though most are adamant about a fixture reduction

Yes the members have been consulted and we have basically been told the club favour a reduction and that's that same with Notts and Worcester

Not been decided yet thankfully a few sides voting against a fixture reduction inc Derby

That's ok.then we paid 20M

It's only down the road at Northampton

Don't usually like to hear rival commentators criticising the club but Fletcher calling the club a disgrace for voting for a fixture reduction was spot on.Understand 6 clubs voted to keep the status quo with 7 needed let's hope another county reconsider

Not seen him.this year but he did last year.Remember Les Taylor used to walk.out with this rest of the players at the start of play with a day in his hand

2 old school cricketers popping back to there car every half hour for a fag Apart from Josh Hull don't think we have any smokers anymore although it don't seem to have harmed Ben Stokes or in the past Botham and Warne

Hi Richard

John Emburey still taking wickets at 73 for Lashings but spinners can play forever

Just to add regarding autographs should be easy enough today but you never usually get anywhere near the India side when they play at GR

Not many legends playing England have Ali Bell and maybe Cook and Morgan if they are not working at the test match. .SA have De Villiers and Amla other then that it's pretty uninspiring.Would have thought the double header with India who do have a few big names playing will get a decent turnout next week but don't expect more then 500 max at today's game

No but he's good enough to average 30

At this moment in time Liam.Dawson the best spinner\ batsman we have god knows why it's took.them this long to realise that

Are we sure he's going to.bowl?

The England legends game at Leicester on Thursdays if you can call the likes of Phil Mustard Ajmal Shahzad Chris Tremlett Stuart Meaker Tim.Ambrose Usman Afzaal Ryan Sidebottom etc legends

Agree he's looking great with the bat but still a work in progress with the ball and the stats are very misleading he's hardly bowled and most of his wickets have been tailenders

It's not a must win if we pick up full bonus points and draw which will be 16 points
