Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Hitesh]

Shocking if we lose this! 

[katieakita]

91-6,  57 needed off 22 overs just need to keep knocking the ball around picking up runs

[katieakita]

95-7 Raine gone

 

[SMX11]

Losing this could crush any confidence they gained with the positive performances so far this season. Find it difficult to see them win from here. Parky will have to hang around.

[Hitesh]

49 needed now, Parkinson hit a 4 first ball 

[Ted Maul]

We're actually going to lose this one, aren't we? 

[katieakita]

100-8 typical Leicestershire

[SMX11]

I actually thought we had started to turn the corner, appears to be false hope with this calamity. ?

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Omg I never thought this would happen, even we would be able to knock the runs off, a disaster, especially for morale

[katieakita]

A nightmare target to chase and as mentioned our overseas player has done us no favours

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

All ifs and buts but I think we would of won if our Pakistan bowler was playing 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Is there really 16 overs left to bat out? How can we score 440 and lose?

Or our Indian one wasn't playing, hope someone has told him he is Tendulkar

[Hitesh]

Lost!

Apparently first time Durham have ever won a Champs game when following on. We truly are the gift that keeps giving.

That will be 2 of us then, probably had Puel give them a team talk 

[Zorrovolpe]

Difficult to think of a more moronic attempt at a run chase.  Absolutely brainless.

[Sunbury Fox]

Absolute joke losing from that position against a team shorn of its top players. We have simply forgotten how to win. I expect Durham to really struggle this season so this is not a good sign after a promising start to the season until this afternoon. Very disappointed.

It is poor expensive to travel to watch such poor fair. Made worse by Durham fans saying yesterday this is the worst Durham side they can remember. Bowling was awful from Aaron, barely played in the last 12 months.

 

Even so Cosgrove and Eckersley looked like they were trying to get out and Horton never comes good when the pressure is on. Not good

[Brizzle Fox]

An interesting test of Nixon's man management skills as there has definitely been signs of progress first few games.  However there seems to be  a losing mentality that runs deep which may be just to ingrained to turn around. 

[Cake]

Yes Brizzle Fox agreed some improvement but still 3 or 4 that are realistically good club players or over the hill. Let's see what happens.

[Bert]

 

Only us 

[Corky]

That is a shocking result. To score 440 and have a 250+ lead after the first innings and lose the game is inexcusable.

 

Our Championship record over the past 15 years has been truly pathetic.

We showed lots of qualiteeeeeee

And intensiteeeeee

But they had more qualiteeeeeee

And intensiteeeeee
