Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Voll Blau]

Serving up some absolute fvcking pies tonight.

[Manwell Pablo]

117 runs off ten overs ? They will end up with a respectable OD score at this rate.

[adam]

The captain is clueless. Why put the spinner on  for last over of the power play 

[Erinjack]

Fielding absolutely pathetic

[Sunbury Fox]

We look like an amateur team. I know the conditions are difficult but the fielding has been utterly laughable. Do they even practice? Can see us losing this by 100.

[adam]

Amature hour  in the field. McKay clearly not fit.

Fielding was utterly dreadful, cost us well over 20 runs in the final few overs. Rain may save us.

 

[Sunbury Fox]

Be hilarious if Duckworth Lewis set us something like 80 off 6 overs and we got it (more likely than getting 210 off 20). Would be very sweet to put one over Notts after all the players they've stolen from us over the years. Interesting to hear what Rob Key said about our player recruitment on Sky. Very critical about our dependence on Kolpak players plus old English pros at the end of their careers. 

[Voll Blau]

Think we'd have got close to the D/L target but ultimately abandonment was probably for the best.

 

Fielding was poor but it looked like it was genuinely pissing it down. Sky Sports 'Ipswich away in the snow' type scenario though I guess...

[AjcW]

I’m not defending them, because they’re professionals, but if anyone’s ever played cricket in the rain you’ll know why it doesn’t usually happen at a pro level! It’s near impossible to bowl and field  

[lee7]

I can vouch for how wet it was there! Got absolutely ****ing soaked 

 

Fielding was comical at times and gave away needless runs. I think the rain has definitely saved them from a loss tonight. 

[Osavo]

Almost glad the teams didn't get back out, if you lot had chased down that 68 off 5 overs I'd have been really hacked off.

 

On a sidenote have to say though I thought Sky were massively biased towards us and were unnecessarily critical of your system of bringing in Kolpak signings. Classic case of favouring the bigger team.

Moores who was keeping for Notts, was he the guy poached from us two seasons back?

He was in the academy. Son of Peter Moores and used to play at Barrow.

Not sure about that but he is a very capable young keeper batsman!

[HaroldBazBo]

Sky hate us because we are getting in the way of what they and the ECB want. Big City franchise cricket.

 

Rob Key can F off, it's not like Kent haven't relied on overseas in the past.

[CosbehFox]

Sky will criticise and deservedly so about our recruitment. 

 

We have had some real decent youngsters come through but we continually ignore them or dis-settle them to the point they join elsewhere. Even the likes of Cobb, Buck and Thakor make decent enough County fodder over South Africans. You constantly see the 2s doing well but it's rare the players progress through. 

[everton carr]

Sadly apart from Chappell we have no decent young players from the academy.The fact that clown's like wells and Hill  are still at the club beggers belief.

[StanSP]

Birmingham bowling worse than us the other day against Notts  

 

Worcestershire 75-0 off 4.3 overs. Smashing it. 

[adam]

Another game that we should of won  

[GaelicFox]

Foxes have really thrown it away ... struggling to make 1/4 finals now 

[Corky]

Durham are 218-0. This season cannot end soon enough.

This is exactly it, we get slagged off about the kolpaks but really we have no choice due to the level of dross we have coming through

[Sunbury Fox]

Anyone else genuinely concerned that if we don't start to improve and develop some players of our own, our first class status could be at risk? So sad to see the current state of a once proud club. After a reasonable season last year, this season has been nothing short of a disaster.
