Abbas and Chapell have speed as well.

I wonder how Cosgrove feels having had the captancy taken away after he appeared to be bedding in well to the role?

[CosbehFox]

Might pop down after tea on Friday. Ourselves and Sussex both played Loughborough with similar results. 

[HaroldBazBo]

Cosgrove may have been up for relinquishing it. Who knows. If he could score over 1,000 runs in consecutive seasons with the responsibility maybe he'll smash records without it.

I'm feeling tomorrow, sitting in the sun getting p*ssed

Into the live stream.

Great day at the cricket, we bowled well hopefully knock them over in the first hour this morning 

[Corky]

Great to see we've got a match at Oakham School again in late May, really enjoyed going there back in the early to mid-noughties.

 

Shame it isn't on a Saturday as I would've gone.

[Kinowe Soorie]

Hopefully the weather will come to the rescue...

Depressingly familiar story of getting into a good position with the ball, only to allow tail enders to put on a huge partnership.

Yup. Appears we still need that strike bowler that can knock the tail end over.

Love the live feed and a decent reply but need to win the 3rd day which has been a recent problem also a few balls started to keep low towards the end

A few LBW’s on the cards then....our game in terms of wickets lost has been completely different to all of the other games

200-2 and a good stream happy days

[Ross-Kemp]

222/3 at lunch. 

 

Great knock so so far by Ackerman, solid partnership with Cozzie too. 

 

Fully expecting us to be 265 all out now.

[CosbehFox]

Tea 329-5, Ackermann still in. Decent batting points. Good to see we have solidity but unlikely to see a result. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

It was always important County didn’t lose this first game for morale, a good solid draw is good.

[Hitesh]

It's also not a bad score given their bowling line up includes Ishant Sharma who has plenty of test match experience 

[Kinowe Soorie]

Great knock by Ackerman!

I don't disagree but I honestly don't see the point of you saying this. You've simply told us the blindingly obvious. It would also be nice to see some support at this point especially with Paul Nixon (a guy who loves the club and a 100% down to earth person) returning to coach the team. At least wait until we lose a game before telling us how terrible we still are.

Harsh, love the county and helps us understand what it is like to support Derby,Forest or Cov

[CosbehFox]

Solid start. Looks like Nixon got some grit in the team.
