Leicestershire County Cricket Club

Good healthy win for us, Cook hit a hundred on one of his rare Essex appearances, I accidentally caught a bit of the first day walking past the ground, didn't even realise the season had started!

[SOCCERROO FOX]

Is it worth heading down to watch a county championship match? Does any body go at all? Most importantly is there a bar there you can have a pint and watch the match?

[SemperEadem]

Still think we will fall short on the bowling side of the game this season.

Probably a couple of hundred there on average each day I'd imagine? And yes, there is a bar.

Still think not finishing bottom will be difficult enough. Talk of promotion is pie in the sky unless they get on a roll in the first few fixtures.

[DaveK]

Never been to a championship match. Looking forward to t20 though, always try and get down Grace Road for a couple of games.

[Guest MattP]

Taking 20 wickets is still going to be the problem, still haven't addressed the issue of having a decent spinner.

Just not finishing bottom would be terrific.

Might be famous last words but really think we should have a shout of winning the league this season.4 fast bowlers McKay Raine Shreck and White all capably of taking 50 wickets plus 3 good signings in Horton Dexter And Pettini to bolster the batting alongside class players like Cosgrove O Brien and the highly promising Aadil Ali

If this was going to happen, it'll need everybody to have an outstanding season, not 1 or 2 like the last 4/5 seasons.

[everton carr]

Fair point although no stand out sides in Division 2 this season good start is vital through

[Ross-Kemp]

307-8, McKay with 5.

[Ross-Kemp]

Bowled them all out for 348.

15 without loss at the close.

Steady start.

[stevelcfc]

Horton looks like a player with class and experience while Robson is looking a bit shaky to start with. 

[stevelcfc]

Robson gone for 25. 89-1

[SMX11]

Well that has ruined a good session. 3 quick wickets.

[Ross-Kemp]

Guaranteed at least 6 bonus points from here.

297-6, bad light stopped play.

[Hooky]

The added experience in the batting could prove the difference with us competing this season.

 

McKay and Shreck will be fresh when they bowl tomorrow. They didn't have that luxury in the first half of last season.

We're still batting, 343-7, we're going to win the league lol

[everton carr]

Don't forget it's an open day at Grace Road Sunday hope a few come down to cheer the boys on before the city match

[Voll Blau]

[Ross-Kemp]

Glamorgan are effectively 60/8, come on County.

[Voll Blau]

Nine down now. Come on County...

[Guest MattP]

What a pleasant start to the season, something in the water at the minute.

[adam]

Ei ei ei o. Excellent news. Great start.

It's free entry to get in on Sunday . Few beers watching the cricket before the football will be spot on .
