Leicestershire County Cricket Club

That isn't good, it will be a bail out with conditions. 

[everton carr]

Wow didn't know things had got that bad. The only good news is that the ECB  will help they can't say no after they have bailed out Durham and Glamorgan in the last couple of years.Could be a sizeable points deduction though

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

 It’ll be interesting to hear the clubs reply

[everton carr]

Doubt if they will say anythingWhat gets me is for years the club have talked about being one of the few clubs that have no debt.Khan was a totally disaster

I was surprised when I sorted. Club have said nothing at all. Dissapointing. 

 

Warm up game has gone well, on a positive

Another poor performance by Abbas for Pakistan today 0/71 off 10 overs good news for the County.Notice Hasan Azad back playing for Loughborough v Kent today county academy bowler Alex Evans with 3 wickets

[everton carr]

Been reliable informed that so far no help from the ECB has been forthcoming and that all bills and players wages are being funded by a local business man not sure who that is but David Wilson worth around £700m would be my guess

[Cake]

Not good. Hopefully someone will step in. Shame they don't like cricket In Thailand.

Has Wilson put his hand into his own pocket before? Been on the board for donkeys.

Been informed David Wilson is indeed the man of the hour.To answer your question he has funded the academy for many years and paid for pre season trips overseas but other that that don't think he has invested too much over the years

[Cake]

Good news then to an extent. 

 

I'm going to be positive and say we are hopefully at the bottom of the dip and we are moving upward. 

 

I think we will improve on and off the field from here

Evans bowls with a bit of nip, wonder if he may push into the 1s this year?

Hopefully we can be run sustainably but this is preferable to ECB help.

About time Notts started bringing there own players through rather than stealing everyone else's talent.

I'm no Notts fan but to be fair to them they have brought though plenty of players Footitt Patel Ball Fletcher Hales to name just a few

Yep.  I'm all for supporting people but it's difficult with such a small squad. 

[Guest WarehamFox]

Good start for the Foxes 

[CosbehFox]

36-5 Tom Taylor has 4!!! 

[CosbehFox]
