Can't see much beyond an innings defeat here with Notts' bowling attack sadly. Hope we show a bit of grit with the bat.

Getting the same score twice in one game is at least... impressive... :/

Samit nearly scored more runs than your whole team did in two innings. Not half bad.

This season has been a total embarrassment. A minor counties side would give this team a game.

 

Durham will pass us soon.

Last season we made some progress but this looks like the bad days of 2012-15 again. I was at the second day of the Sussex game (we actually played well that day) but I looked around the crowd and wondered who would be watching this team in the Championship in 10-12 years time. We desperately need young fans in the ground.

Getting some flack on Radio Leicester earlier and rightly so, going backwards

That's the same at every county ground not just Leicester

Two loan signings from Surrey...

Seen this splashed all over twitter. Khan was adamant last night though that there'd been no fall out between Dexter & de bruyn and that they were helping him through family issues.

Khan also said there had been a freeze on membership prices for 3 years before the huge increase this season.The guys a total liar

At least he gave a reason for the price increase with funding down and les home games (although I'm not sure the 50p earnings on a home champo game account for much). Career suicide though isn't it, blatantly saying 'x didn't happen' if it's then likely to come out anyway.

Yes he gave a reason for the increase but then says there was a prize freeze for the previous 3 years which is simply not true.If Dexter leaves the club in the next few weeks He's going to be in a very embrassing situation.

Ah, I see. I'm not a member any more so thought prices had stayed the same.

Embarrassing...would you say untenable?

Not quite untenable no.As with Piper last season will probably use the family reasons line again

Day night 4 day cricket starts today. Should be interesting, not exactly got a great response from batsmen to say the least! 

[Voll Blau]

Thought we'd got stuck into them with two early wickets, but Duckett's decided to smash us all over the park.

 

Wickets flying at a lot of places though. Pink ball's clearly having an effect.

[Guest MattP]

The purple ball just does far top much early. It's not a fair contest at all.

 

I'd expect it to do a bit under lights as well, really want to bowl first with it. Opposition shouldn't see the day out.

I played in matches where we tested out the prototype pink and orange balls for one of the manufacturers. Used to do even more before they refined it.

- can't imagine what that was like.

 

I was nearly right yesterday, just Surrey managed to bat through the whole first day.

Hampshire and Sussex did both declare, though neither (especially the former) on massive scores and neither managed to take advantage though.

 

What's the odds of win/lose results in all games if the weather stays right?

Didn't work but I understand it, got a few overs to go no point having your number 11 using up valuable deliveries. 

 

I think all should finish providing we get no serious rain.

Currently 75 for 7. FFS. 

[Voll Blau]

Blimey, might just shithouse a win here!

[SMX11]

Looks like we will fall short.......and lose.
