We may as a long shot sneak through the back door here.

 

Ignoring Worcs, Durham and Lancs.

 

We play Derbyshire next. Beat them and we go above them to 12 points.

 

Notts are on 12 and we need them to lose the next day at Worcs who are looking to nail a home quarter final.

 

Then we're looking to Lancs to nail their place in the quarters by beating Warwks who stand on 11 points.

 

The b'stad being Yorks on 12 going to Northants and we need them to do us a favour.

 

If that happens Derbyshire can't catch us. We play Northants at home last up. Warwks at home to Worcester who would love to fukk them over. Yorks and Notts play each other and we pray for rain.

 

 

 

You should ask a bookies for odds on that scenario...

What was the crowd last night?

[Ted Maul]

Nah, we've fluffed it in the t20 this year. Probably been better than 8th in the table would suggest though 

[Sunbury Fox]

After last night's excellent win, not looking good against Derbyshire tonight. 

[CosbehFox]

What idiot at the ECB/Sky thought a Saturday evening game would be great between Derbys and Leics. It looked utterly miserable on the TV

Didn't help that they were broadcasting a football match down the road at the same time, limiting the attendance. Before the rain came the stewards had kicked out about half a dozen Leics fans for various things too.

[Corky]

Shame we're out now but hopefully we can finish with a win and concentrate hard on the push for promotion in the Championship.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

T20 has been feast or famine pretty much this year.

 

The Championship is a better barometer of progress...and we're much improved in that.

Although it's been garbage for years so the starting point was admittedly quite low.

[RonnieTodger]

I know it's 99% likely to be a dead rubber against Northants, so it'd be easy to get in on the door wouldn't it?

They're advertising four quid discount for advance tickets so I'd imagine so.

Not been hard to get in on the door all tournament crowds have been very poor this year sadly. Pleased to see Ben Mike has been awarded a full time contract for next season going to be a few more comings and goings with Rob Sayer Tom Wells Mark Pettini and Tom Taylor all leaving at the end of the season

Any idea about Raine and Chapple?

 

What about Chesney Hughes he was knocking about. I think he could still be useful.

[everton carr]

Think Raine and Chapple waiting until the end of the season before they make any decisions.Hughes played a few matches in the 2nds but don't think we will sign him.Agree hes a useful player

[HaroldBazBo]

Good knock for Harry Dearden. Appears he was under orders last year as to what to do.

 

Sounds like PDB was a bit of a bully.

What happened to the bowler tonight for them with the economy rate of 54?

He got picked for Pakistan. Nothing to worry about.

No ball warning 2 + 1 run, free hit 4 and no ball 2 and removed from attack 1 legitimate ball 9 runs. Sadly we were something like 35-4 from the power play with 11 extras just not good enough

[Ross-Kemp]

Somehow managed to snatch back the advantage from Kent, which when you consider we were 119/7 yesterday, is some going. 

County finished all out for 220.

Kent are now 164/8 at lunch, 56 behind.

Abbas & Raine with 4 a piece.

 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Odd not bowing Abbas after lunch

 

Answering my own question he was off the field before lunch so couldn’t bowl straight after

Edited 20 August 2018 by Mark 'expert' Lawrenson

[Ross-Kemp]

All out for 195. Abbas with 6 wickets.

[Sunbury Fox]

I see that Chappell retired hurt when batting and didn't bowl. Anyone know how bad his injury is?

Has a concussion. 

[Ted Maul]

Really promising position. Only need a couple of scores from here and Kent will be up against it.

[katieakita]

Time to dig in losing quick wickets 106 for 5 typical Foxes

Would hope a lead of 180-200 will be enough, be tough if we are a bowler down though.
