3 of our academy products in that Notts team. Patel is Leicester born and played at Banks in his younger years too.

Think he went to private school in Worksop though didn't he? Guessing that's how he got poached.

 

Good little first innings recovery this.

[Corky]

Notts 121-4 at lunch, hopefully we can have a lead or at least a small deficit before the 2nd innings.

[Osavo]

Not much batting to come for us here. Only really Read I'd back to make a score of that bottom five. Thrown it away a bit after a promising start. 

[Ted Maul]

Couple of quick wickets... Fatty Patel on his way and 2 new batsmen in. Encouraging that we look competitive against a side like Notts! 

[Voll Blau]

Notts slightly on top now but set up for a decent third and fourth innings.

Scratch that. 

[Osavo]

Better luck next time lads 

[Hitesh]

We can't seem to shake off these epic collapses which are happening season after season! 

[Lionator]

Angus Robson has left the club. Clearly something has gone on for him to leave at this stage of the season. It's turning into a bit of a circus and it's only April 11th.

[everton carr]

Understand Chesney Hughes in talks with the club

[Corky]

He is the one and only.

[SouthStandUpperTier]

He is the one and only.

Nobody he'd rather be.

Two pretty big drubbings to start the season

[Corky]

Looking like a rough time again, Glamorgan look as poor as we do though but with a 16-point start,.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Well if 4 batters (although 1 being injured) contribute approx 40 runs in the whole game it's always going to be a struggle.

[SemperEadem]

Sussex sign up Robson after leaving early.

[everton carr]

Massive game coming up Friday against Glamorgan's we have started the season as badly as we have.Also   without Cossie suspended and Ackerman injured.

Really? He's abused more players and supporters than I've had hot dinners. Plus, I've had personal abuse from him directly on twitter, so I'm in a fairly good position to comment on what he says behind closed doors.

He may love the club, and I admire his passion, I'm just appalled at the way he goes about communicating it to the world. Some of the stuff he posts, implying direct conversation with players, just shouldn't be in the public domain.

See your mate making a threat to LCCC giving them 7 days to come clean on why Keith Piper was sacked.If not he will reveal all

Interesting...I thought Piper left due to family reasons, or that was the official line anyway.

 

I had a ding dong with him over Niall O'Brien leaving. He was spouting stuff about the ins and outs of his departure claiming he knew all the details. I had it on good authority from someone at the time that O'Brien was trying to put a lid on it as it was not helping his situation. Surprise, surprise, Nobby hasn't found a club since his departure. 

 

You're right, the guys does love the club, but then Bernie loves City too!!

 

On a serious note though, do you genuinely believe that it's in the best interests of the club to have this type of information (if true) spread over the internet?

[The People's Hero]

What was the situation with Nobby? As a cricket fan generally and a Leicestershire fan also, I've always liked him. 

[harpendenfox]

I think Ned Eck made it clear he wanted to keep, and the priority was to keep Ned Eck, as he is also perhaps our best batter. Lewis Hill can also keep, so Nobby wasn't offered a new contract. Makes reasonable sense. 

[Narborough Bod]

I think the way they did it was what got on everyone's tits. By all accounts he was away with Ireland and the county just left a message on his phone. Pretty amateurish, but Nobby was very dignified about the whole thing...disappointed to leave, disappointed about the ending, but fairly pragmatic. Just some other dick spouting the specific details over the internet.

Here's a question though, what the hell was the agent doing? as shitty as the County may have been, whey wasn't his agent involved?

[The People's Hero]

I wasn't aware that all pro cricketers had agents? Unless things have changed a lot over past few years ?

I'm going to tentatively say things going ok today against a weak Glamorgan. Would prefer to see the lineup with cosgrove in it but there we are.

He is suspended.
