The one gripe is we just can't seem to see off the new ball.

 

Puts the pressure again on number 3 down to dig us out of a bit of trouble again

I do wonder if the Masood conundrum is Budinger. Once the runs dry up, it’s hard to justify his place in the team.

the day I see you post something positive about Leics CCC I'll be on my deathbed 

Anything Swindells related and it's positive to be fair

Or Steve Cooper

Masood drops into this top order for sure.

If anyone deserves a free pass at a drop, it’s Cox. He’s taken some worldies this season and his keeping is probably the best on the circuit. 

Behind Foakes imo.

You could say that of anyone though. He's been above par in most games this season, but I suspect you're right about him being the one to drop out. All depends on Rehan's availability, I guess.

Big shame Anderson's not playing. Was pretty much marketed on that and would have been a fair few autograph hunters down over the course of the bank holiday weekend!

He was there yesterday hopefully again today

[Lionator]

Same formula today as the last few games. Get a lead, put the pressure on, win. Would be lovely if one of these two go on and make a big score as we know our lower order is very strong. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Still struggling to get my head around how good we've been this season so far. It's been so long since we were this good in the Champo. Long may it continue!

First hour will be tricky here.

[CosbehFox]

Don’t want to jinx him but good to see Renan being more controlled 

[Lionator]

Go on Reh 👏🏼

[Ted Maul]

Really, really good stuff from these 2. Very tough spell negotiated patiently, runs flowing now. 

[HaroldBazBo]

That's top top batting

[Sunbury Fox]

What a session! Superb stuff!

 

Looking ahead to the T20 campaign, how do folk seeing us lining up, bearing in mind that Hull and Ahmed won't be available at the start of the campaign? Was thinking something like:

 

Patel

Budinger

Masood 

Kimber

Hill

Holland

Cox

Trevaskis

Van Beek

Mike 

Scriven

 

[Zorrovolpe]

Outstanding session 👋.

Given the weather forecast, I just hope we have enough time to put serious pressure on Lancs, and that they aren't saved by the rain as at Old Trafford.

Monday is not looking good and there's a shower around early this evening too.

So - assuming we get there - how soon should we declare after 350, with probably only 3 days' play available? While Harris is probably due a score in the 2nd innings, I don't see the rest of them causing much trouble.

Looks spot on to me. Cannot remember a Leics side with that depth of batting.

Monday looks damp but no apocalyptic, you’d be looking at at least 50 overs. So I’d just try and get as big of a lead as possible, if we’re still batting at lunch tomorrow then declare.

Lead of 250+. Hopefully we can get there today, I think we'll be looking to attack towards tea.

Don't you start, it's bad enough Radio Leicester's Richard Rae keeps calling Rehan "Patel" 

[Ted Maul]

Well done lads. Kick on now, platform set & no pressure.

[Silebyfox_89]

We're doing ok.

[tylesta]

Derbyshire put on a very good score.
