Naveen has absolutely lost his head and this match now

[MaidstoneFox]

Conceded 24 runs in that 19th over

 

[harpendenfox]

Complete village that 19th over. Dreadful bowling, dropped catch. Jeez I don’t expect miracles from us but just get the basics right, and avoid head high no balls and dropped catches. A terrible terrible defeat.

[Bert]

That’s what you call embarrassing. 112-8 needing 57 and they win with an over to spare. With the cherry on top of Ned Facking Eckersley hits the winning runs for 6 to reach 50. 
 

Leicestershire la la la 

[katieakita]

Players need to have a good look at themselves this is as poor a performance as we have put in over the last few years even by our low standards 

[Sunbury Fox]

This Naveen chap is terrible. Would have been better saving our money and playing Delaney instead. That is a ridiculous way to lose against a really average team.

[Father Ted]

Totally embarrassing that. Must have given them close to 20 runs from misfields alone. That over from Naveen was a farce, I would can him completely after that and send him back to Afghanistan. Pathetic.

[Sunbury Fox]

They were 87-7 at one point. We've lost to a team with Raine and Eckerskey in their top 5. WTAF.

That's the worst Leicestershire bowling over I've seen since the 'Boswell' over at Lords. I know we have this 'moneyball' approach to recruitment now, but the kid lost his head and it's not what you want from your overseas bowler. Not exactly a pressure match was it? It was a truly horrendous over, but we also mismanaged the overs before this one to give them a sniff and there were numerous misfields throughout.

[Sunbury Fox]

They've scored 85-1 from 9 overs with Eckerskey batting with bowlers. 

[Voll Blau]

Absolutely pathetic. Durham bat deep but no way we should ever let that slip. Awful.

[Livid]

Turned on the live stream for the penultimate over, I turned off after the missed catch as I saw it coming. 
 

To lose in the same over is spectacular even by the county’s standards

We're getting a right spanking this T20 campaign

[Cake]

It was inept to say the least. I think a club bowler could have done better tbh. 

 

Ben Mike's bowling nearly as bad. How many full tosses does that man bowl? 

 

Fielding awful. It gets close and Aaron Lilley just craps himself. 

[Cake]

Also why didn't Steele bowl? Tidy spinner. Slow surface. Ideal. 

[Corky]

Desperate stuff. We actually looked a competent, well drilled T20 side last season and should've reached Finals Day. So far this year we've lost two home matches poorly to average teams.

[Sunbury Fox]

What's so frustrating is that we've arguably been in the box seat in all 3 games. Obviously we've thrown it away today. But before then we had Derbyshire 90-4 with all of their renowned hitters back in the hutch before allowing Critchley to get 80 off 45 balls (!??!). That's almost certainly a career best by some distance. And then even against Lancs they were 136-7 with just over 3 overs left. 

 

Chances of qualifying for the QFs have probably now gone, sadly. Naveed is clearly not what we need based on the evidence so far. And can we afford to have a player (Mike) batting at 7 and rarely bowling except for the odd very expensive over?

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

So many mistakes and players losing their heads, I’ll not go on about the final over as that’s been covered already but ffs we collapsed in our batting, we should of set them 180+ but threw all of our wickets away and only scored about 10 in the final 3 overs (apologies if that figure is wrong)

Terrible fielding once again as well.

So so disappointing.

[deep blue]

I've lived away from Leicester for over 50 years so have lost touch with County and the team players, but follow the results. Over the last few years we have a sad litany of losing matches from winning positions and often crumbling at the death.  Why is this?  Could it be that we have a young and inexperienced set of players?  That could explain why we rarely have the composure to convert dominant situations into victories.

 

I'm saddened by the harshness of some of the comments.  The club is plagued by good players, sometimes homegrown ones who have come up through the academy, departing for richer clubs, and by the paucity of financial backing.

 

What is the reason for the frequent collapse of team spirit?  What is the biggest need to turn things round?

[Lako42]

A thoroughly embarrassing game. 

 

Naveen is garbage, pure and utter garbage. 

 

Amateurish fielding and bowling. 

 

Yet again Nico has big questions to answer about the face his team cannot do the basics. 

[CrawlingFox]

Not sure how you come back from that if you're Naveen.

Do you think they will drop him from the next squad?

They won’t.

Sadly true. Surely Dieter Klein is a better option than Mike and Naveen.
