Steve Adshead has made a point to Leicestershire.

99 and out, but then again, he got bowled by a part-time fielder/ wicket keeper/ opening bat.

Anyways, we're a joke.

a joke that no leicestershire fans get, but every other county does ;)

Josh Cobb and Harry Gurney made their debuts :clap:

Sam Cliff got a late call whilst on his way to do a Painting and Decorating job in Preston. Commitment that :thumbup:

And... After 295-5, Northants collapsed from that, to 310 All Out. :clap:

Good start Tom New and John Maunders.

NICK WALKER ISN'T PLAYING - YES!

Boje spins Northants to victory

County Championship Division Two, Grace Road (day four): Northamptonshire 310 & 459-6d beat Leicestershire 236 & 356 by 177 runs

Former South Africa star Nicky Boje spun Northants to a 177-run victory over Leicestershire on the final day of the Championship match at Grace Road.

The critical wicket came when Boje, who finished with 6-110, bowled Paul Nixon.

The wicket-keeper hit 110 off 225 balls as he attempted to salvage a draw but when he was sixth out with the score on 315, there was scant resistance.

Boje picked up two further wickets before tea and the innings did not use up too much of the final session.

We won :D

Glamorgan haven't won all season.

Leicestershire batted first and amassed an excellent 283-5. - reports bbc.co.uk

Allenby and Nixon :worship:

A wins a win, and i can't wait for the season to finish. It still doesn't change the fact that we beat one of the worst teams in the country. We should be going for promotion.

Lets hope Boon signs players with a little bit more about them than the players who played this year.

In a nutshell, we was crap. Lets not deny this.

I would like to see some kind of takeover at Grace Road. Buy the ground off Leicestershire County Council. Improve facilities. Hire coaches who have brains. GET RID OF DIRT LIKE NICK WALKER. Buy players who are proven. Please, no more Kolpak players. Lets keep hold of HD and Claude, and buy proven Englishmen.

Pope aiming to follow in Nixon's footsteps

Monday, 24th September 2007

LEICESTERSHIRE are offering talented young wicketkeeper Joel Pope the opportunity to follow in Paul Nixon’s footsteps.

The 18-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has been handed a professional contract at Grace Road after impressing in his appearances for both the MCC Young Cricketers and Leicestershire’s Second XI.

It gives the teenager a chance to emulate Nixon, who started his career with Leicestershire after a spell on the MCC Groundstaff.

“Joel has got the best pair of hands I’ve seen in a young wicketkeeper for some time,†said Leicestershire’s Head Coach Phil Whitticase.

“He impressed us when he played here for MCC Young Cricketers and then performed well when we gave him a chance in the Second XI.â€

Pope is a nephew of current Middlesex wicketkeeper Ben Scott and is heading to Perth in Australia to play for Melville this winter.

“I hope I can follow in the footsteps of Paul Nixon who has had a fantastic career,†said the youngster. “I am hugely grateful to Clive Radley and Mark Wright for helping me to take my game to the next level.

“My year on the Young Cricketers staff has been a steep learning curve and it’s given me great opportunities to develop my all-round game.â€

Former Middlesex and England batsman Radley said: “I am really delighted for Joel and I wish him well in his future career.â€

The signing of Pope underlines Leicestershire’s intention to develop a squad of talented young players and they are expected to announce another significant signing in that respect this week.

Copied from official LCCC site.

Promising signing methinks although are they going to get Tom New just to concentrate on batting?? ;)
