Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[The People's Hero]

What a finish !!!!

[Bert]

Last ball goes for six! 

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Leics were 149/2 , needing 40 off 34 balls with 8 wickets in hand and almost messed it up

Needed 3 off the final ball, with only 2 wickets standing, and Ben Mike smashed it for SIX !

Enjoyed watching that

[Kopic]

Incredible! Cheers @UpTheLeagueFox for posting the video, enjoyed watching the end of that!

[Cropwellfox]

Brilliant last few overs viewing that was 

[1972 Fox]

La la la, Leicestershire, la la la 

[Voll Blau]

Why did Lyth bowl himself btw?!

[Guest Lako42]

****ing hell. Sat in the Indian and got the last 3 overs on my phone 

 

That last strike 

 

 

Love beating counties like Yorkshire

[HaroldBazBo]

They deserve a right shoeing for that. 

 

Dropped catches, bowling the pacers at the death, middle order lack of composure.

 

The spinners, Lilley, Ackerman (batting) and Ben Mike won that on their own.

Similar to Harry Kane taking corners 

[Sunbury Fox]

Brilliant game of cricket. Those kind of run chases are second to none for sporting drama. Ecstatic that the boys got the win today, really deserved it.

[Cake]

Brilliant. Even now cant believe it. 

 

Mike. Never in any doubt

Think Delaney deserves a mention Don't you think?

In the history of the T20 which started in 2003 can anyone think of a less inspiring opening bat then Dearden?

There are plenty of opportunities to castigate County. When we win a thriller just enjoy it, eh? Life’s too short.

No. I cant understand the Dearden selection. I do try not to be negative but wow, terrible. Chance after chance. Not even a decent fielder. 

 

May as well throw in the new bat tbh. Id open with Hill and Delaney

He's the same every game just tries to slog every ball getting nowhere near most off them and when he does finally make contact he gets caught on the boundary 

[Corky]

Stunning win, a decent Grace Road crowd (usually is when Yorkshire visit, they bring a few) would've loved that.

 

A win against Durham puts us in a great position.

[HaroldBazBo]

You’re right, I missed out Delaney.

 

The decision to bowl pace towards the end was really frustrating. Spin was really working and had really put a stop on their run rate. Lilley’s very handy with the ball and he had a couple left in the tank.

 

The Yorky commentator was complementing Dearden last week. He can look the part but just doesn’t convert.

I remember Eckersley opened for us in T20 a few years back and he was pretty shocking. I know what you mean about Dearden though. 58 was his run rate yesterday and that's shocking for T20. I was actually happy to see him walk. Swindells did a half decent job at opening last year so I'd go with him.

[HaroldBazBo]

It seems that they back some players who don’t cut it for far too long and cut adrift others far too quickly in comparison.

Was this the year after Cobby left? Eckersley kept playing and missing everything, absolutely shocking in T20

I think so yeh.

[StanSP]

How does the qualification out of the 3 groups work? Top 2 from each go through and 2 other best 3rd placed finishers?

[HaroldBazBo]

Sticky wicket or not this looks poor.
