Excellent performance. 

 

Possibly just finding our feet this season- 4 wins in 5 across all formats now.

Whatever happens this season its great to get a win on the board as they are hard to come by. 

This thread is quite harsh sometimes but I think they've been relatively competitive so it's nice to get the win.

Superb win. 
 

Time to get through to the knockouts of the t20 now, roll on Friday.

Quote from BBC website: 

The last time Leicestershire won a County Championship match in Division One, Phil DeFreitas was playing for The Foxes. Remember, he won the 1986/87 Ashes.

It's been 8,320 days since they won a four day game in English cricket's top tier. They had never beaten Yorkshire at this ground by an innings, and it's only the second time they had beaten The Tykes since 1996.

They played wonderfully, particularly since they lost the toss. They bowled with real vigour, getting the most out of the pitch, bowling consistent lines and lengths. They batted as well as I have seen them bat this season, being tactically astute - going hard at the bad balls, but otherwise playing calmly and diligently.

Rehan Ahmed is a superstar, Nick Kelly looks like a very good overseas batter.

With a win, they have kept themselves alive in their fight for survival. Two vital matches against Glamorgan at home, and Yorkshire in Scarborough, are to follow in two months' time.

But the monkey is off Alfonso Thomas' back, they have their win, and in some style too.

Yorkshire were surprisingly abject, and their inconsistency will be a huge worry. 

Put simply, if they wanted to compete for the title, they would have won this game. The fact they got hammered tells it's own story.

Buzzing it's finally come together. Shame it's before another decent break between Championship games!

This sounds like a crazy stats considering we’re bottom, but we have the joint most batting bonus points in the league and only Notts have more bowling bonus points, so it’s clear we’re just not quite going the distance with teams.
