I've seen tweets where he's confirmed players due to join and said we were just waiting on them being released by their counties (Keith Barker, Wessells). I suspect he's not as ITK as most people think but If he throws enough shit around some of it is bound to be right.

However, I have also seen a direct tweet where he asked Nixon why Swindells wasn't playing and Nixon tweeted back that it was down to Swindells inability to deal with the short ball. I think it's criminal that our head coach is divulging information on players techniques to internet nut job.

Only ever happy when it's going wrong. Should be happy most of the time! 

 

I don't get Fango Fox at all?

I was once told by a journo at the county 'you're better off ignoring Fango, he has issues away from cricket'.

Does anyone know why he actucally supports the County?

[Cake]

Interesting squad for tomorrow. Only picked 3 Seamers from what I can see? Unless I have my Evans mixed up again? I think Sam is in the squad not Alex. 

 

Therefore Wright, Mike and Klein plus one of Lilley or Parkinson? 

 

Like to see Lilley have a game. 

 

Wheels could come off rapidly as Mike and Klein can go for a few

[The People's Hero]

Leicestershire - 0/1.

 

Same old, same old.

[The People's Hero]

9/2. 

 

Might stop watching this.

[Cake]

Awful. Neither Lilley or Evans given a go. Gone with the tried and tested players that fail every week. 

 

Good thinking. 

 

Rhodes done well today though. Credit when it's due.

Abysmal we don’t give a young batsman a go in this shocking side. 

[The People's Hero]

82/6. 

 

I kept watching.

 

Callum Parkinson at the crease with Dearden.

 

 

[SemperEadem]

Running out of patience with Nico.

Must admit would like to see Butchart given a go.Having said that I was pushing to see Swindells playing instead of Hill tbh Hill looks the better player

Well yep

 You can't until they are given a go, certainly Hill looks a better keeper. I think either of them can slot in at 7. Just the 6 above them.......

I worry it's gonna be even more frustrating next season as I really want Leics to do well ahead of the Hundred.

 

Still can't believe they expect us to support a team called the Trent Rockets. F*** off

Don't worry, they don't expect you, me or anyone else on here to follow it. All the thousands of mothers and children who've shown no interest in cricket until this magical new invention appears are their target market. Will the 20k grounds be large enough to cope?

[katieakita]

Darren Stevens signs a 1 year contract extension for Kent, he could have done a job for us. Are we confirmed as finishing bottom now 

[Cake]

Think if we won and Worcester lost we could haul ourselves off the bottom. 

 

Unlikely

Have heard some very concerning things over the finances over the last few days. Things look very very bleak. Another bail out but this time with some hard and fast conditions.

 

I suspect its widely known, but if not I thought I'd mention, although its all I'm prepared to say.

 

I'm down in Maidstone, so a bit out of the loop in terms of what the members know and don't.

[Cake]

Members here this that and the other but offcially nothing at all as far as I am aware. 

 

Don't know why it's all so cloak and dagger, it needs to be faced up to and as a member I would expect to be told straight.

Yes and no really we are around £4M in dept but when you consider we have a guaranteed £12M in income from the ECB alone in the next 5 years not sure that things are that bad.  Although it does mean they are very relectant to sign many if any new players atm inc maybe no OS player

[Cake]

Said on commentary that Bohannon batting for Lancs is out of contract. 

 

Could do worse. Well in fact we very often have done worse! 

 

Just give a year see how it goes. He can bowl also. 

[Cake]

Mike has woken up last game! 

 

Going well, Klein has come on though to bowl Lancashire back into the game. 

[Voll Blau]

Be grand if we could sneak a win here, long way to go yet mind but given the number of wickets to fall I think we could be on for a result either way...
