Cricket (None Leicestershire County Cricket Club)

Decision not to have a go at the run chase in the first test is looking better and better all the time.....

First ever cricket game I attended today (Been Leicestershire before but it got rained off). 

 

Unbelievable, that’s all that needs to be said. Class day.

Hopefully encourage you to vist GR more often need all the supporters we can get

Be classic England to get them 3/4 down which might have us given a chance had the likely target been higher.

 

Do the ECB still only have to pay refunds if the days ends before a certain period of time ?

I think if a ball is bowled, your ticket money is done. Certainly used to be that way.

I may be wrong, there's much better informed cricket people on here. I'm assuming if you can pay at the gate, ticket prices would have to be dramatically  reduced for anyone to bother after yesterdays showing. I have to confess, if I'd prepaid a ticket for today and had to drive much more than half an hour, I probably wouldn't have bothered with the England match on later.

I learned my lesson after getting day 4 tickets a few years ago and missing out.

 

Day 1 or 2 (or both) for me ever since.

I think they do refund (or at least used to) if there was less than 15 overs and a partial refund if there was less than 30.  Obviously the this wouldn't be available for the 5th day.

To be honest, you should only get a refund if the weather stops play, not one of the teams being shit.

True otherwise we’d all do it for football !!

England were piss poor in the 2nd Test...but that shouldn't take anything away from this NZ side. There's a reason they qualified for the World Test Championship final and I think they'll absolutely muller India in English conditions with the bowling attack they have tbh.

I do hope so. About time someone showed up the 'Big Three' farce we're shamefully complicit in. They thoroughly deserve to be the ones to do it.

It's a combination of this that is usually the case. (as in the weather stopping play, not because a team can't fulfil a whole day through their own incompetence!) 

[leicsmac]

Bit of a farce that it's likely the much-touted WTC final will be washed out with no result.

[UniFox21]

The whole resting policy seems futile when Root is selected in both test and ODI sides

[StanSP]

Cricket going well... 

[Corky]

Blimey, India are boring  Crowd should get their money back

[StanSP]

Noticed earlier the 2nd England/SL T20 on Thursday is on BBC 2 at 6pm

 

[Voll Blau]

 

 

Poor bloke! 

[StanSP]

Maharaj just took a good hattrick against West Indies.

Don't understand why they didn't make a 3 match series or something to decide this test championship.

 

Draws are common in test cricket let alone in the English summer

Unsure why England was even chosen to begin with.

Doubt they will again.
