Perhaps if someone starting picking up cricket bags and hoying them off the player's balcony, we might at least get some reaction. That would be a start.

Is Hendricks still being picked for his batting? If I was Ed Barnes, I'd be thinking about a move to another county this winter.

Hill and the skipper are back in the squad, Steel and Kimber make way. "A 𝗵𝘂𝗴𝗲 boost ahead of the visit of Sussex. Captain 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗻 𝗔𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗻 & 𝗟𝗲𝘄𝗶𝘀 𝗛𝗶𝗹𝗹 both return to the fold, as Head Coach @Paulnico199 names a 13-man squad." https://twitter.com/leicsccc/status/1524434166565285890

Average First Innings Score this season: Foxes 233.4 Opponents 422.8

I thought Sarwan's 18.4 batting average in 2014 was a new low point for an overseas player. Clearly I was wrong.

Only one short of the record for a first-class English county match (4)! Another one where the batsman stumbled to the crease instead of executing a half-decent dive, Parky only missing out by a few mm's at most.

Kimber would have almost certainly made it in with a dive. Talk about hitting the self-destruct button, a stumping against a part-timer and two run outs.

Looking at the card for the second dig against Notts 2nd XI presently taking place, both Patel and Steel have been withdrawn from the game with Lilley and young Sam Wood taking their place.
