The whole world smiles

He will be playing for the England lion's won't he? Good chance we him for to 2 county championship games starting the end of next week especially as he hasn't played any cricket this year.

Great post - factually Innacuarate and already discussed at length in the "who manages us" and "king power out" threads!

Great post, this is why I don't tend to post on foxestalk much any more (the Leicestershire cricket thread aside) every thread whether it's about old players, the ground staff, new players , the Jamie Vardy Documentary becomes on opportunity for the same old misrable posters to make the same old misrable points. Yes the club is shit show, but whinging and moaning every second of every day on a internet message board clearly isn't going to affect any change besides making yourself and your fellow fans more misrable. If someone wants to take their family to charity game with some of the clubs biggest legends on a hot weekend then good fuching luck enjoy yourself life is short and it's been a long couple of seasons!

Commentator said last night that they have only ever lost 10 games (now 11) in the blast at home and 3 (now 4) of them have been against Leicester.

Jesus Christ! Talk about trying to snactch defeat out of the jaws of victory! They look so fragile and devoid of confidence! However lots of positives particularly how well we bowled!

Hard to argue! The middle order batsman aka turner, cox Kelly are doing their jobs the openers and bowlers absolutely fuching dreadful.

Sadly I feel like the either win every game or everyone is shit outlook is moving over from football fans to cricket fans. Personally I feel like the club is still moving in the right direction. All tonight needed was one of the 3 openers to score some runs in the power play and we were in business. Silly decision to bowl though!

Last played cricket at the end of April so no reason why he won't be!

I feel like critisim of Fonz and Taylor is a little bit unfair we lost Maharaj, rehan and Handscombe right before the start of the season all are around world class or in Pete's case fringe world class. Because of the faff around losing Pete and Maharaj we missed out on van beek who was excellent last season. Eskanzi looks a good edition but the other signings have so far been disappointing and the side is massively unbalanced hence the helm loan. So what I am trying to say is due to circumstances out of our control we have actually got a worse side than last season in a much harder division. Hopefully they can get it right and if they don't i have every faith in the coaching set up to guide us back up.

Worst season ever!

Coalville is the most Leicester place on earth.

Why in God's name did they take Ben green off he must have had figures of 4-20 odd this morning full of zip and confidence bowling at their number 11 and they bring hull on! Leicestershire need to get a lot more ruthless to survive in this league

Totally agree okazaki wasn't just a cult hero who happened to be in the side when we won the league he was a bloody excellent footballer in his own right. The absolute peak okazaki we signed as a 29 year old would have been highly rated at most premier League clubs even some of the bigger ones. His profile also Suited Vardy like red wine and a good cheese. Its quite a reductive way of looking at football to see all forwards who don't score lots of goals as shit. With Hesky Kuyt and okazaki just being a few examples of why that's nonsese. Anyway back on topic ayew didn't score goals and was shit and a complete willy puller who if I never see again will be to soon.

Really weird tactics Patel and weatherald put us in a great place to go on and try and win this game with very little risk of losing it but the rest of the batters seemed happy to chug along at 3 runs an over or less and take zero chances and accept a draw.

This is far worse than the last time as we have such a high wage bill and so many players who have supposedly played at a good level. This was the side that got relegated in 08.

Jesus Christ I am all for Rudkin bashing but do me a favour. Smithies was at the club for 2 years played not one single game and left with over 3 million quid. What's he want a cuddle? These modern footballers don't live in the real world. I don't know about you lot but I would rather be asked how much Rather than are you ok, Any day of the week except I don't work in an industry that pays me out if I get injured and can't work. Football is a cut throat, mercenary business but you are handsomely rewarded even if your shit like Alex smithies was.

Quite a funny period of play The wides down leg side were win win if they turned the batter had to deal with them, if they didn't turn then he gets to bowl it again (the extra run was neither hear nor there to us). Until Pope realised you could just kick them away!

Didn't look like it with their spinners

Superb boys, who would have thought after all those dark days we would be at the oval giving it to Surrey what a contrast to the city.

Sensational from our top order. Just when I needed a antidote from the shit show at the football.

The commentators said the speedometer was underestimated deliveries by about 5k

What's the story? Used to hear people singing it but didn't know there was a story.

Part of the first team coaching staff it was in the article put out by the club announcing Rowett. I know people say we did king dirty but this is the 4th manager he has got to work and learn under he is getting a valuable education in the game here.

Where did I say I support what I am seeing?
