Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[James and his giant peach]

If we can't chase 145 then we will never win a game. Bowled well and fielded pretty well for once so need to make sure it's not in vain. A nice 20 ball from Budinger would do nicely. Truth is the run a ball shite they served up in the first 2 games would be more than enough to win this so no need to do anything stupid early on, keep wickets in hand.

Nice cameo from Ben Mike. It's what his batting role should be, up the order.

Budinger is likely in a hospital right now.

Eskinazi is shit

Any idea if we are allowed a sub batsman, no info at all from the Lancs commentators. I know subs are being allowed in the County championship, but not sure if this applies in T20

He’s not. He’s a very decent player. But he’s having a very poor tournament thus far 

[Officer Doofy]

Don't understand why he's batting on that position

He certainly should not be opening in this format, scores way to slowly 

[matty2702]

As others have alluded to eskinazi is far from a poor player, but this experiment of him opening is clearly not the one and needs binning off sooner rather than later. If budinger is playing he needs to be batting during the PP…

His t20 record is pretty good, just not for us yet.

Eskinazi certainly shouldn't be in the team for the next match. What on earth does he bring to a powerplay?  Scratching ones and twos and swiping aimlessly. He's a steady and valuable contributor to the four day side, but seems a fish out of water as a T20 opener.

Thought the fielding wasn’t great tbh and let them have 20 more than they should have had to be honest. Bowling was mainly excellent. Much improved. 

[Officer Doofy]

Well that was silly 

[CosbehFox]

Here we go. Crumble on

Can’t really shit on him either, his red ball stuff has been class so far. Also his 50 over average is insane lol. 

[Staff]

Oh no 

[SemperEadem]

You are joking

[Wsl]

Mahmood strikes again...

[leicesterisme]

Going to be an all timer this

[Harpenden Fox]

This would be like the injury time loss to Spurs

[Lionator]

Nahhh lads

Utterly brain-dead batting there 

[James and his giant peach]

If we lose this then I totally give up, amateur nonsense.
