Kimbers stats are mad, 241 in a single innings then in the other 20 innings averages what 18 or 19. Some seriously poor bowling stats out there.
-
You'd think so. Plays the majority of games. If he comes back!
-
Don't think there is enough money in the game tbh Not convinced there is enough money to sustain the counties we already have. Plus many of those guys probably have decent jobs and minor county cricket sort of fits in with their careers. Could may be get a few involved in one day games or t20s
-
Don't think he applies himself. But I dint know the guy so can't say that with any certainty. Another weird thing is he always strolls out like he is KP or Viv Richards or already has a ton in the bank. Will often then play two or three brilliant shots then try the same shot to the wrong ball. Or completely misjudge a shot like a rank amateur. But that won't deter him as he will follow exactly the same process next time. Why after watching 9 and 10 bat all afternoon would you play a lap sweep? Then to miss it by best part of a foot? It's really weird. But what a talent.
-
Agreed and he is a kid im not getting on at him but he Should be able to judge a situation though, he has talent and at 6 or 7 is a very good player. Don't expect him or anyone else to be a match winner at County, odd game we do win we do collectively. I'm not having a go at him as an individual just endemic of a careless attitude to batting that we see each week. I like the lad and he will be a decent player I hope. Kimbers lap sweep at the end of the innings sort of sums that lazy careless attitude to batting that many of players show. 9 and 10 bat for nearly two hours I know he is injured but he misses that lap sweep by six inches and we are all out. Feel sorry for the likes of wood and curry who work hard at what they have. Alot of our players are really not that good so work harder.

Some application as discussed
-
Getting battered by a team who had more application than we did, guys who average mid 20s grafted and got a score on the board. That's the difference.
-
Yep. Won one game the entire season. Not a bad white ball side. Red ball different story.
-
ECB have done wonders for him. Hopefully turns it round in Pakistan. Currently looks completely out of sorts Don't like to be overly critical of anyone but he seems to be going backwards at a rate of knotts.
-
Why we are batting Holland and Ahmed at 3 and 5 is beyond me. Wouldn't bat higher than 7 or 8 anywhere else. Perfectly good in those positions but not in the top 5. I mean we are going into each match with 3 specialist batsmen. One of those averages 19 and the other 2 are out of form. Middle order is ok as is the tale but we seem to have alot of players that are neither good enough as bowlers or batters.
-
Constantly calls Trevaskis Trescothick also touch of the Bidens I think
-
What a shit shot that is from Holland. Talk about amateur hour.
-
Ridiculous innings from Patel. Just slogging then out, wonder if he will be on the move.
-
Cox got thr right idea. No hanging about
-
Trying. Few good shots. I've seen worse. I can't see the ball tbh. Can't grumble as it looks impossible
-
It's a hard sell CC I don't know who you would get in as CEO that could solve it? Realistically it's a white elephant im it's current state, you couldn't give it away. Your in the final few games of the season (business end) as they say in football and we are playing on a Monday, a few weeks after most people's holiday it's cold it's dark and there are about 8 other people sitting around me. At 56 I'm the youngest. Our opening batsmen is already out because he can't see the ball in the gloom and we are trying to sell tickets for this in advance. Good luck.

So is he the same Martin Jarvis that used to run the local league meetings? Millions of them now! May be he is the actor also? You wait for a Martin Jarvis and three turn up!
-
Maybe it's the something positive I was talking about earlier!
-
I dont think so think he plays in the local cricket league, chair of a local side. He may also be related but would be 50 ish and always been on the local cricket scene. But it may not be the same guy? I mean we don't have a clue as nobody tells us anything! I had a chat with a Leicestershire player who plays at our club when not playing for Leicestershire and he felt something positive was in the pipeline? I sadly don't share his optimistic view!
-
If all members at Leicestershire signed it it wouldn't amount to enough signatures to turn heads.
-
Is Scott Currie injured? Or returned to his county?
-
Desperate for a decent quick bowler.
-
They seem to have a real downer on him. I mean he deserves another go. Apart from anything else it's a complete waste of money renewing the contract.
-
Your right about Jarvis. Can't fault you. Raes knowledge of the game is poor I agree. Embarrassing at times. His ball by ball commenrty is ok though, it has improved, he works better on.the radio than the stream. But he has improved.
