Dearden batted superbly this afternoon. Really mature innings and at one stage he and Ackers looked like they might make a match winning partnership. Sadly Ackers got a good one and Cosgrove and Eckersley contributed a grand total of 0. The game is completely in the balance.

Aside from Dan’s horror error I thought we played extremely well this evening. Can’t wait for next Saturday

It is time for one of @themightyfin‘s half cryptic half ITK tease posts about big names from heaven singing before Thursday. Come on Jari our with it

Absolutely. The interest from a club of that stature was flattering for sure, but my direct debit is Leicester through and through, and I have just signed a 40 year contract extension.

I’m hoping the Tommy Robinson chants were wholeheartedly on opposition to the odious little person?

For the record, have you ever watched him play?

Best moment was Chapple’s leg side head height wide that went for 4. Possibly the worst ball in the history of cricket.

Mind games from Claudine. We’ll launch a bid for Pogba soon

Gordon’s aliiiiiive?

That’s a pretty good summary. Having scored ten off the first over, I think we managed about 35 off the next 7, so we were massively behind where we needed to be. Batters simply weren’t able to find the gaps well enough. Raine, who has played two excellent innings in the tournament, just couldn’t get going, neither could Delport. Actually Delport doesn’t get going enough for me. Derby varies their bowling well, but we simply didn’t work the ball into the gaps enough in the early overs

make no mistake, this is going to be a stunning win. All involved deserve massive credit, but quite clearly Nico is leading something of a revolution, with bowling coach Matt Mason doing incredible things with the bowling group.

We bowled 6 wides or no balls, thus effectively granting Notts a 21st over. Notts bowled just one wide. Delport also should have stopped two fours from the angle from where I was sitting. in a 19 run defeat it is simple as that. Plus Notts ran more aggressively between the wickets and we turned a few twos into ones. Must frustrate Nico no end. We need to do the basics better.

Notts 10% better in every department today. Another excellent crowd at Grace Road though.

So he loses the captaincy and feels hurt, I get that, but then doesn’t turn up for work? Surely he is in breach of contract and in any other workplace would simply be sacked.

I’d happily make Raine our best paid player. Top performer time and time again
