Oh ye of little faith!

Fantastic Mister Fox!

Great stuff!

In Trump land. US Major League cricket,

Yes. Deliberate plan by Alfonso/Titch to rely on the loan scheme rather than a larger squad. Seems to be working!

Mike is still injured. Will be interesting to see if he features for twos this week .

I believe that Ian Holland is going to be playing in the US Major League competition which runs from 12th June to 6th July (or 13th July if his team progresses into the finals) . That rules him out of the next two rounds of the County Championship and most of the Blast.

Beautiful.

Where did you get your qualifications in Sports Inspiration and Motivation?

Kimbers 153 that is!

It turns out that this is the highest score in second eleven T20 history!!

I see that Louis Kimber has gone big this morning for the second eleven in Blackpool v Lancashire getting 153 off 75 balls out of a total of 222 in the first of two T20s today. Bodes well?

I believe we last won a CC match at Lords in August 1980.

I won’t allow myself to get excited until we’ve got Roland Jones back in the pavilion.

Lucky man! Most of us have to make do with just two! But if you’ve got it….

Superb by Holland.

Are you still surprised? 19-3!

Good to see some of the recently injured/absent bowlers participating in today’s second eleven friendly at Derby and competing for places in the first eleven. Wright, Salisbury, Walker, Trevaskis all in the wickets but Mike seems to have stopped bowling part way through an over and only completed 3.1 overs in the day. Never a good sign!

A different perspective on the Jarvis departure. https://www.thecricketer.com/Topics/county-cricket-premium/passionate_defender_county_cricket_sean_jarvis_departure__leicestershire_sport_crossroads_.html?t=638823992001704359&utm_campaign=1329038_10%2F05%2F25 Newsletter&utm_medium=email&utm_source=The Cricketer&dm_i=7T5X,SHHQ,3ELK2Y,2D3MV,1

A comfortable lead at the top of the table. Enjoy the break lads! Much deserved. Can’t wait for the next one.

Let’s hope so!

Let’s hope the balance is restored when we start bowling!

Bit of a send off for Handscomb. Really bad sportsmanship. Conway.

I’m expecting Patel in for Kimber and Hull for Scriven, though I wouldn’t be entirely surprised to see either Alex Green or Walker ahead of Hull. No mention of Trevaskis in the squad.

An interesting contrast in batting performances at the end of the day. Last evening, Leicestershire batted for 29 overs with a score at stumps of 120-1, whereas Lancashire, tonight, after 8 overs, are 16-3! Happy days!
