Leicestershire County Cricket Club

Rob Taylor with 48 from 36

I know there are a few Greg Smith's that have played cricket on the county circuit but this is woeful from Sky http://www.skysports.com/cricket/match_report/0,,11066_14046_1,00.html

No surprise to see Taylor get runs. Still blasts hundreds for fun whenever he gets a game for Harborough in the county league.

Despite getting beat by like 10 wickets in the last 40 over game, we have done very well in the competition.

 

4 wins and a game in hand.

[SemperEadem]

Top day out that was.

They still have Dagnall, Crowe and Snape in our squad list amongst many others, two Greg Smith's but strangely no Nico.

Anyone else a bit fed up of waiting for the rain to save us from inevitable defeat after inevitable defeat in the Championship?

[Corky]

Yes.

 

Thankfully we look a half decent one-day outfit, and possibly a good T20 team, so there might be some hope from this dismal four-day misery.

[stevelcfc]

Rain appears to have saved us again.

[Corky]

We aren't gaining much from draws, we are claiming few bonus points as it is.

 

Doesn't make much difference if we lose or draw.

[ScouseFox]

I know it says Leicestershire but my local team Lancs just bowled Essex out for 20. Yes 20! Even Leics would be proud of that one. 

[Corky]

Makes our 34 there a few years ago look a bit better

[theessexfox]

We're embarrassing in County Cricket. 

[SMX11]

Piss poor batting performance

[Voll Blau]

County's Twitter account makes me laugh. Positive spin on absolutely everything...

Twenty20 Cup opener against Derbyshire is on Sky Sports tomorrow.

Twenty20 Cup opener against Derbyshire is on Sky Sports tomorrow.

 

We open against Notts tonight

We open against Notts tonight 

 

Oh right

 

Well, opening home match

[I am Rod Hull]

Nice little cameo on debut from Shakib Al Hasan, 31 off 14.

 

EDIT: and then go and lose 5 wickets in 19 balls....

Forgot to mention our 4-day victory over you... we commence against a strong Hampshire tonight. 

[William Boast]

Thought Leics were going to chase that down. Ridiculous. Good catch to get rid of the new overseas player though.

 

Think the T20 campaign is pretty much over.

[kingfox]

Good start to the T20 campaign...not.

 

Some players just don't cut it, they need to be taken over and get an influx of better players.

EDIT: and then go and lose 5 wickets in 19 balls....

 

Deja vu.... 4 wickets in 11 or 12 balls this time?

[Corky]

Crap after Cobb went, dreadful start to this competition.

[Cropwellfox]

Crap after Cobb went, dreadful start to this competition.

He seemed determined to get out to a sky-er today, pathetic batting after Joe Burns was out, and pretty ordinary bowling throughout.

Oh for the days of snape and Henderson strangling the life out of the teams we played.
