Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Sunbury Fox]

Totally embarrassing. We are not playing a Surrey or Somerset team filled with internationals. Is this Gloucester team even better than ours? 

[katieakita]

Even by the Counties on standards this is pretty woeful

[The People's Hero]

Almost unbelievable. Sort of feels a bit like that defeat when we'd had Durham (?) following on ?

[Sunbury Fox]

We also lost to Glos in similar circumstances a few years back. Set them a generous target and lost by about 7 wickets. Not sure where we go from here.

Yes that was poor we even won a game against Glamorgan i think when we had Carberry as Capt did our best to lose it, but hold on Glos doing a Leicester

[The People's Hero]

Neither side want to win it! Maybe we should shake hands on a very dishonourable draw.

[Voll Blau]

Fvcking hell. Our bowling is abject.

[katieakita]

over 80 extras conceded by us 

[HaroldBazBo]

The amount of extras has been disgraceful.

[Sunbury Fox]

Why are we bowling Mike when we need to slow the scoring? Bloke has no control, just bowls all over the place

Yep Swindells nice lad and promosing cricketer but been dreadful behind the stumps this season. Only our attack could make Cockbain look a world beater

Should have bowled Lewis Hill more

[Sunbury Fox]

They scored something like 220 in 33 overs after tea. 

[katieakita]

Absolutely shameful surrender, all the good batting wasted only plus is we get to know what it is like to support Spurs

[everton carr]

Hope they give Sakinde a game against Surrey.Can't be any worse then Mike

[CrawlingFox]

Our bowling this season has been as bad as our batting has been good.

 

Wright needs some help.

[Sunbury Fox]

Mike has to be dropped. Just awful.

 

Probably frustration and emotion speaking, but I'm seriously thinking that we are no long deserving of first class status. This has gone on for the best part of a decade now, with the club being uncompetitive and hardly winning a first class game. I guarantee that no other first class county would have lost that game.

Who else is there?

True. Without Klein, there was only Evans, who was also getting carted everywhere, and Wright, who was probably knackered.

We missed Ackerman for the extra bowler, cupboard was bare.

To be fair he’s having to dive all over the place! 

[Lako42]

Pathetic. 

 

My County are embarrassing. Every single season, no matter the progress in certain areas, we manage to get embarrassed at some point. 

 

Why have we signed no bowlers? 

[Corky]

This is not good enough, you should not be losing a match defending 350 on the last day of a wearing pitch. It's not the first time we have thrown away a great position and lost the game.

 

Four day cricket has been a waste of time for the county barring about three seasons in 20 years.

[The People's Hero]

The bowling today was unforgivable. Sometimes you get beaten by a superb performance; but the bowling today was NEVER going to defend 350. Too much short and wide stuff.

 

Really really frustrating.

 

[HaroldBazBo]

It was ok until tea. After that they lost the plot.
