Jack Leaning added to that would be good. In red ball would play Ackerman as the spinner. I think with more bowling he could be a good performer with the ball.

Swindells will hopefully get a chance as keeper although I hear Rikki Wessels may be leaving Notts what a signing he would be.A bowling attack of Abbas Wright Griffiths and Mike with maybe Barker to come looks  pretty good. Could do with another batter coming in but on  paper Ackers Cozzie and Dexter if he stays looks good they just haven't fired this season

Trying to iron out an issue that Swindells has with the short ball. Give him a go I say, can't be any worse and with Ned leaving there's no point him being in the team for the last 2 games

CEO and assistant on a combined #200k aren't they?

 

We need a new wicket keeper batsman as Hill isn't up to it in my book.

 

Two more bowlers.

 

Another opener.

 

2 better middle order batsmen.

Why don't you admit it......a new team!!!

think the squad needs some quality adding to it, especially in the batting department. now losing Chapple will mean we will need another quick bowler: personally i think the below players should be moved on:

 

Carberry

Eckersley

Jones

Klein

Pettini (not sure why he's not playing?)

R Sayer

Wells

 

its a little bit worrying we are not signing anyone while other clubs are already conducting business and getting stronger feel Nico is already up against it!

Still difficult to attract quality players to Leicester, Carberry will never play for the foxes again.

 

[everton carr]

Great to see The foxes winning on finals day well done Charlie Fox in the mascot race good luck at Nottinghamshire next season?

[Cake]

It's surprising how many of these rumours turn out to be true but at a club game Nathan Buck had suggested Foxes were after Wessells, Barker and resigning Josh Cobb.

 

Then it got worse. Shiv Thakor. Is he allowed to play? I've seen him at the ground.

Yeah, he was sacked by Derbyshire but don't think the ECB have officially banned him. Grim if true.

 

Have it on reasonable authority that Carberry is trying to take us to the cleaners over his treatment too, so we may have no option if we can't afford anyone else...

sheer madness that Hasan Azad not in squad tomorrow .Regarding the Flasher know Nico would love to have him back but a few board members not so keen. Hope they don't resign him massive insult that he walked out on the club to sign for Derby not to mention the other stuff.

[Silebyfox_89]

it worries me that we are still chasing all rounders and not specialist batsmen, we will end up like the England team trying to fit a load of all rounders between 3-8 positions!

Yep. We not having Thakor back no way.

 

I'm not sure what Hasan Azad has to do. Like to see Cosgrove rested and sam Evans given a go.

It will be a new nadir if we seriously have someone on the field for us who is also signing the sex offenders register. 

[Silebyfox_89]

surely a youthful / future look for tomorrow's team?

Not really just Evans added to squad alongside Lewis Hill don't consider him a youngster at almost 28

[HaroldBazBo]

Thakor no thanks but i'm surprised no-one else has bitten at the Josh Cobb link - only on a white ball contract surely, he's carp at real cricket.

Fit back in well then!

[Silebyfox_89]

Seems a reasonable start today against Durham so far. I see Horton isn't playing due to personal reasons and Javid has opened the batting and looked very good so far. i've been watching the live stream on the club website at the moment, which is synced to the BBC radio Leicester commentary and is rather good. 

[Cake]

Javid batted really well. Putting a score on the board. Important innings from Javid to prevent the usual clatter of wickets. Perhaps that's his spot.

[Silebyfox_89]

its worth looking at imo, Durham's attack isnt the strongest in the division but he played sensibly and with a reasonable strike rate. 

[Ian Nacho]

Durham have collapsed. Currently 18-5. 

[StanSP]

Durham doing a Leicestershire

[Voll Blau]

Abbas with all five while Dexter is current 0 for 0 off six up the other end. 

[katieakita]

21-6 county on fire

[Silebyfox_89]

watching the live stream and Abbas is bossing it! 

[Ted Maul]

Took them 42 balls to score off Dexter 

[Ross-Kemp]

7 down. Probably still make 300+
