  1. England's loss is our gain. More than happy for our best players to be playing for us.
  2. Try to do what Middlesex did against us - get a huge score to put scoreboard pressure on them. We know Madsen will get 100 at least so we need as many as possible.
  3. The last few weeks have felt like a return to the Leicestershire of old.
  4. I agree that a gun T20 specialist batsman eg Inglis is what we need next year. Northants have done this successfully with the likes of Lynn and Breetzke, so it shows smaller counties can attract players like this. It always felt like we were a batsman short this season, to be honest, especially with Patel's form being so poor. I really like Cox but I don't think he'd be coming in at 5 for other counties. It's telling that we didn't post 200 in any innings, even though the dry sunny weather has meant that wickets are good and outfields have been lightening fast. Injuries/ absences in the bowling attack have also been a problem. Rehan and Hull were unable to bowl in most of the games and were rusty when they did come back in the last few games. Holland showed what we've been missing from him last night and Mike has also hardly played. The likes of Walker and Salisbury are just not really up to it. Despite all of that, we still might have qualified had we had a competent captain. Kimber was so poor in his decision making for the most part, which cost us badly in several games where bowlers, who had been the most economical on the day, did not bowl their full allocation, in favour of others who had gone round the park. Overall, I still enjoyed the campaign and we were competitive in all but a couple of games. But ultimately we didn't quite have enough to deserve to qualify.
  5. No other team in world cricket loses that game. Unreal.
  6. Looks like this one might top it.
  7. Thrown this away. No way we will defend this score on a wicket like this. It's immaterial anyway as Warwickshire have got 233 against Derby. Kimber's shot to a legside wide has to be the worst decision that I've ever seen on a cricket pitch!
  8. 4 wickets in 7 balls. WTAF.
  9. That's a moronic shot from an experienced overseas player. Madness.
  10. BBC Weather says it should be dry from around 8pm. So hopefully we'll get a 10 over slog at least.
  11. We're just missing too many first teamers and our squad is not strong enough to cope. Hull and Ahmed have only bowled in about half of the games, Holland has missed it all and Mike has only played a couple of games. I think this would be our best team: Budinger Patel Masood Ahmed Kimber Cox Holland Trevaskis Mike Scriven Hull Not been able to play this XI even once in the campaign.
  12. All over. Disappointing. These are a very poor batting side generally and yet they have chased this down easily. Very unlikely to qualify now, I think.
  13. Yep. India have been the better team in 80% of the play across the series, including when they lost at Headingley.
  14. Crawley out in identical fashion to how he was out in the second innings at Edgbaston. Dear oh dear.
  15. Huge game today. Come on you Foxes! Any news on whether Rehan can bowl?
  16. He's always like that. Lack of class.
  17. Yeah, though with Durham losing and Lancs likely to lose, at least the top 2 have been brought back into the pack. To finish in the top 4, we'll probably need to win all 3 remaining fixtures or at least win 2 and boost our NRR by winning those games by big margins.
  18. Shame Worcs won at Derby. Means they're still in the hunt ahead of Sunday's game.
  19. Love watching this PSG team; lots of young, likeable players, who work as a team and play exilerating football.
  20. Riyad was much more of a success at Man City than Grealish. He was a very important player for them.
  21. Too often it seems that the most economical bowler on the day doesn't get given the chance to bowl his full allocation.
