Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Lionator]

I maintain this wicket isn’t doing much for the bowlers and Holland just bowled incredibly well this morning.

[Ted Maul]

Just got to keep chipping away here. We'll get the best of the pitch/weather over the weekend.

Think with the turn this pitch might be difficult to bat last on. Seems to have been done for Crane so it’s a shame Rehan’s not in the side.

Tricky one maybe the fact that he's the OS player probably earning double what Tresvaskis earns being the main reason.Trevaskis  seems out of favour.We were in talks to sign Samit for the t20 until he got the ban which forced his retirement.

That's a shame, still a still player even at 41. Ridiculous ruling from the ECB.

[everton carr]

Roland Butcher and James Bracey one test wonders 😀 How these comms get a job is beyond me

[DezFox]

Not a great day in the end. 

[Lionator]

Funny how every div one game had basically the same scoreline at close.

Maybe not forgot how bad Gloucestershire are

This is a draw or lose from here, need to match the batting display

What happened to Weatherald?

Said his knee on the stream but hopefully just a bit of cramp or something.

The BBC report suggests cramp, and that he'll be back tomorrow. 🤞

Hopefully we can score enough to give Glam some awkward sessions on the final day - though I don't know if the wicket will be doing anything by then.

[Paninistickers]

So refreshing just to see us have good players and some respect and so many likeable players. 

 

There's lots of echos to the 90s team of that underdog spirit

Thank god for that! Shoot me down but I don't think Handscomb would have scored the runs Weatherald has...

Speaking with my Aussie hat on, great to see Weatherald and Marcus Harris in some kind of personal duel to see who'll score the most CC runs before the break for the Blast. Stokes must be doing his nut  

[HaroldBazBo]

I reckon we can get the same kind of score as at The Oval and put them under pressure on day 4.

Why neither are international class players

[Lionator]

62 overs to get 235 runs to get max batting points, should be doable. If we can get somewhere near 520-550 today and stick them in before close that’ll be a perfect day. Though watch us lose 9 wickets for 80 today.

[dmayne7]

Frustrating that this is probably the must win game and that's looking like it's off the table. Not through a lack of effort/execution to be fair

Probably heat stroke. These Aussies don’t see a lot of the sun at home!

Might also have one eye on restricting their bowling points, given they are possible relegation candidates. If this is a draw we want to get more points than the opposition.

[katieakita]

331-4 now lost 2 quick wickets and lost momentum after a bright start yesterday wonder if Weatherald comes in next.

[Ted Maul]

Holland wicket was frustrating- out to the third bouncer of the over. 

[LBTufty]

Roman Walker turning out for Shropshire CCC against Cumbria in the NCCA Trophy today. Finished with 2-50 off his 9 overs.

Interestingly, he joined them 11 days ago at the same time as Joe Johnson - son of another former Fox, Zimbabwean star Neil Johnson.
