Warks and the Notts games on the same weekend had less runs scored too. 18 wickets fell in the first two sessions in Glamorgan’s next game.

 

Can we have a ‘**** the ECB’ chant at Trent Bridge later this month? 

I expect the travelling contingent will be fairly receptive to that! 

[Walshy5]

Corrupt as ****! Bad as the F.A. Clearly don't want us staying up!

[Lionator]

It’s not hard to presume they want us gone from the first division. 

[Lionator]

It’s supposed to be a 19 point deduction as well 😂😂😂😂

They changed the rules at the start of the season, so I think it’s all points gained.

[Walshy5]

Half the bowlers injured aswell! Bad day all round! Explains why we signed Gilcrest and promoted Theo Marshall i guess. Hope they're all back for the final 🤞

No Scriven, Hull or Davey! That’s all of our top run scorers from the Notts match!!

Is anyone watching? Why have there been so many no balls already? Disaster of a start having put them in they're racing along.

Yes, I’m watching. Not good! 

[Foxmeister]

Dangerous precedent when Surrey’s pitch last week saw 40 wickets fall in less than 210 overs.

 

edit: 39 wickets

Injuries, potential points deduction and 127/0 and counting!

Because Ben Mike is playing lol, that’s a points deduction in itself. 

[Silebyfox_89]

How many points deducted we looking at?

Cox has gone off ! Replaced by Tattersall and the commentators have not even noticed!! Too busy talking drivel.

[Foxmeister]

Glamorgan are imploding which helps, 59/7 and would have been worse without a defiant 4th wicket stand of 23.

[StanSP]

Wtf

 

[Walshy5]

Cox off injured now! Has someone at the club walked under a ladder and ran over a black cat this morning?!

[James and his giant peach]

Think we will go down regardless of points deduction. Squad not good enough. Once two or three are missing we don't have the players to step in. Putting the other team in overcast damp conditions and letting them get 160-0 is a joke. Maybe just fold all our sports teams they are doing my head in this week.

After the turkey shoot at Cardiff two weeks ago and now this maybe the ECB should be lookong down there at pitch reviews rather than listen to their whining.

I saw that but not the total at the bottom. I briefly thought there’d been 150 extras.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

I don’t really agree with the “corrupt” ECB people are claiming, each individual pitch is marked on its own merits by the match referee present during the whole game.

The key is did Leicestershire prepare the best pitch possible? As that is the important question, it doesn’t matter what’s happened at other grounds as they will have their own match referee present. 
The game going 4 days is also irrelevant.

Pitches are marked on seam, spin and uneven bounce and if any of these are deemed to be “excessive” then there will be a pitch enquiry.

Leicestershire (Henderson and Thomas) will have known the risks in not preparing the best pitch possible (if that turns out to be the case) 

Thats the way the ECB guidelines work. 

[Corky]

I reckon they have just had the energy sapped out of them. Play a load of club cricketers against Warwickshire and make the final match a farce.
