Leicestershire County Cricket Club

Colin shag me in the arse

Incredible game still on a high haha. I'm so glad we produced a performance like this in front of the Sky cameras and a packed Grace Road. Truly special from Ackermann! A record broken in Leicester again 

[Finnegan]

Wtf he was 1/13 and finished 7/18? how even. 

 

Love that the world cup was full of balls hitting the stumps at not falling and he takes a wicket by basically grazing three atoms of the bails with the ball. 

 

Mad.

Butcher is a terrible pundit, Key is brilliant on the other hand. 

Quite like Butcher said some nice things about us unlike Knight with the ground hasn't changed at all over the years still they always produce a good Wicket  better then that dump in Chelmsford where he used to play

Great win last night.  

After a torrid start in the 20/20 competition, we've won 3 of the last 4 games ... and are now back in contention.

If you've not been to Grace Road - get yourself down for a game.   The County have had a rough time the last decade or so, and really need the support.

It's hard for me to get down in the week, but I'm down for Friday night. Anyone know if The Cricketers is back open yet?

I watched about 10-15 minutes of the game while I was tidying up.

 

The guy got 4 wickets in that time,

Love how they go on about Fortress Chelmsford yet Essex have never won this thing.

Anyone going down tonight? 

 

The weather isn't looking promising 

[Voll Blau]

Yeah, thunderstorm due during the game. Typical.

[SemperEadem]

Lads over from Bochum for the Wolves game were looking forward to tonight. Do hope the weather holds.

Yeah, I'm fvcked if I'm spending my Friday night explaining Duckworth-Lewis to someone in their second language. 

[Cake]

It's a bit better than it was. I reckon they will get a game in.

Yep hope  so very winnable match could do with Lancs beating Yorkshire as well

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Forecast looks reasonable, keeps changing 

[Walshy5]

I'm in 2 minds weather to chance it or not. BBC weather says thunderstorms but met office says only a 30% chance of a shower. The refund policy is shit. If theres no result you should get your money back.

I thought they offered money back after the Lancs washout.... within a fortnight of the game.

[Cake]

I think they will get some sort of game in

 Maybe not full 20

5 over thrash!!!!

[Voll Blau]

Remember going to a rain-affected 8 overs-a-side game there a few years ago. Maybe v Yorkshire?

 

What are they like about you going in and out of the ground with your tickets these days? Is it "once you're in, you're in"? Haven't made a T20 there for a couple of years.

I went to the Lancashire game that got rained off the other week and they let you get a refund up until a certain date (minus an admin fee of £1 off your ticket cost ) or you could re use it again for another group game for free.

Once you’re in you’re in, there is no escape.

No I’m not sure, there’s little around the ground to go out to, maybe the pub if you dare.

Thanks. Is the Chinese chippy round the corner still going? Used to love a trip there at lunch/tea.
