Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Bert]

Up the county 

[Otis]

Another win

[Ted Maul]

Great win, needed that if we were going to qualify. If we do, at least we'll have an away quarter final! 

 

Kent can consider themselves pretty fortunate- saved by the weather after Surrey posted 250 

[SemperEadem]

No sweeter team to beat than them.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Leicestershire La La La.

Crap at home, great away!

[TheyCallMeMrCarbohydrate]

Raines on fire with the bat - over 219 runs off 96 balls in the last two away games!

And 0 off 1 in the last home game  bizarre how poor we are at home compared to away.

Stats aren’t great!

[Ted Maul]

Great morning session so far.

[HaroldBazBo]

Blimey

 

But 2 things. 

 

1. Darren Stevens is still there.

2. Darren Stevens will swing it.

[Ted Maul]

All of Kent's games this season have been pretty low-scoring haven't they? They seem to come out on top more often than not. Hopefully we can skittle the tail and post a respectable score!

[Ross-Kemp]

77/8 now.

 

Come on

[Sunbury Fox]

 Watch Stevens get a 100 now. Always has a point to prove against us. 

[HaroldBazBo]

Difficult for him when we get all the others!.

 

Anything over 200 may be decent. Swing paradise.

Great to post 200 plus if we can. Sussex must have had a delay as they are only a few overs in. If we can win this and Sussex don't, we could be in 3rd place right on Kent's tails.

Warwickshire look well on top against Middlesex unfortunately. 

 

 

Edit - duff info, Sussex started at 2pm

Sussex are playing a day nighter.

 

May as well forget about Warwickshire and concentrate on second. Them beating Middlesex would keep the Lords lot down and out of it.

[Ted Maul]

Done quite well to get past the opening spell with only 2 down- runs seem to be coming a bit easier now.

Third wicket went about 5 seconds after this was posted  standard.

[Hitesh]

Lead of 34 with 5 wickets remaining, could do with getting 100 more and then pressure on Kent 

[Ted Maul]

A good day, despite the late wicket.

 

Hopefully we can get a lead of over 100 tomorrow morning and get stuck into their top order again.

[Cake]

Going to be at Canterbury tomorrow. Hopefully 120 lead and i will see a victory!

Great performance in the field ….. BUT, why oh why do we persist with Dearden ??? It invariably leaves us with what amounts to a 10 man batting line-up.

His average is now down into single figures !!

I don't understand it either to be honest. Really odd. I'm fairly sure Swindels could play or let Ackerman open. He is in after 5 mins anyway. Chesney Hughes was mentioned. What happened there? Anyone know?

[RizLCFC]

Hopefully we get to 200.

[ThingsCouldGetMessi]

Agree with the rest of you. Kibworth or Loughborough must have a 13 year old in their youth system who would do better than No Run Dearden. Let's be honest, anyone capable of hitting double figures would be an improvement. The constant picking of Dearden will be our downfall in the promotion race (I'm dizzy) because his continual failures expose other batsmen to the new ball. I might be wrong but I'm sure Dexter has experience of being an opener.

Not sure about Dexter but Cozzie used to open for Glamorgan.We seem to like playing with 10 men Wells also a waste of space in the T20
