Hope they get a good gate today.

It wasn’t to bad to be honest, around 1500 I guess.

 

 Easy win for York’s in the end, we never ever looked like getting them out.

Saw the club quoted 3k. Either way lets hope a few keep coming back.

My eyes are not what they were

Doing well today. Experimenting with Raine in at Number 3 worked, he got 83 in quick time

 

Currently 288-3 with 8 overs to go!

[Voll Blau]

Record score in List A game against another First Class county. Fair play.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Leics 376-4 (50 overs) at Worcestershire

 

Half centuries for Horton, Raine, Cosgrove and Ackermann

 

Much better!

 

EDIT: 29 x 4 and 10 x 6

I have no idea how to handle the fact we just scored 376 runs!!  

 

[HaroldBazBo]

They haven't batted yet...

 

But that's over 300 in 4 out of 5.

[HaroldBazBo]

When's Abbas bat, Arun's expensive

[Sunbury Fox]

Think we're going to lose this despite getting 376. They're virtually halfway there after half of their overs with only 2 down. We've been competitive in terms of batting in 50 overs but the bowling is not up to scratch. Over the last 2 games we've taken 3 wickets off 72 overs whilst conceding 480 runs.

[Ted Maul]

Yeah, this isn't going well. Our attack is as poor as it's always been without Abbas.

[Brainy]

As a Worcs fan take comfort in the fact we are capable of crumbling aswell

[Ross-Kemp]

211/2 off 29 overs. 

 

166 to win. This’ll be close

Abbas looks like he could be a great signing. 

[CosbehFox]

About to lose. Sounds like some wretched bowling 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

What a good overseas can do.

[CosbehFox]

The last four balls have been 6 6 3 4 !

[Bert]

Some things never change. How can you score your best ever one day score and still lose.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Lost. Again.

But how? How can we not defend such a big score? 

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Conceded 675 runs for the loss of five wickets in the past two matches (93.5 overs)

 

Not to mention conceding 400+ to Notts previously.

Not only that but we lost with 16 balls to spare against a team who are hardly filled with star names. The relative performance of the teams' respective overseas players was crucial:

 

Ferguson 192 off 143 balls for Worcs.

 

Aaron 84-1 off his 10 overs for us.

[Ted Maul]

Another horrifying result, considering the position we put ourselves in.

 

Our attack needs an overhaul.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

It’s been an interesting 50 over comp so far, batted very well except for the Derbyshire game where we were chasing a relatively lowish score and failed, bowlers won us the Northants game, the other 3 games we’ve batted well but have been well beaten in each one, is Kline worth a go? Tom Taylor? Oakham next, need to stop the rot there.
