97-2 after 7 ... Leics off to a flier.

Rashid to bowl now and we know how great he is in T20s

He’s showing his class so far 

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Leics 130/2 after 10.

Ahead of the rate.

Could this be the turning point of the T20 season?

[The People's Hero]

Good game to watch but every over now it seems to swing back and forth. Go on Rishi!

[CosbehFox]

That wicket and subsequent over killed it

Think we’ve thought that at that stage in the second innings of every game so far this season.

[stevelcfc]

Game over

Yep. You're not wrong.

 

So many big opportunities spurned. Today is not over yet; but 2 new batsmen in now....

[UpTheLeagueFox]

We take some positives from the batting but the bowling, jeez.

[adam]

Excellent effort by the batsmen. Completely let down by the bowlers as usual. Has that kimber ever batted before? 

[HybridFox]

Bowling let us down again

Played a few times for the 2s and has generally done well in the uni/minor counties stuff I think. Pleased we are having a proper look at him.

[Bert]

222 off twenty overs and still lost. Leicestershire la la la 

[katieakita]

Scoring 222 against that attack is a bloody decent effort but concede 240 and you will struggle 99 x out of a 100

[Voll Blau]

Another frustrating one as it shows (batting-wise anyway) what we can actually do on our day.

 

Mind you, did well to get that close against that Yorkshire side.

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Great effort by the batters, on the other hand I don’t know where we go with our bowling.

[CrawlingFox]

Inglis looks a serious, serious player.

 

Bowling again looks weak in comparison to the batters. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Inglis is class. Problem is that the other batters keep getting starts but then hole out for 20 or 30. Patel started looking good and instead of playing the percentages goes for another 6 when he'd already got 17 off the first 4 balls of the over. There was no need to go for another 6. Lilley threw away his wicket when set. And even Ackermann smashed a ball that would have been called a wide straight to a fielder. 

 

But overall to score 220+ against an attack with 3 international bowlers in it was some effort.

 

As for the bowling only Parkinson and Ackermann have looked anywhere near good enough. The seamers are a joke and Lilley would be lucky to get a bowl for a club side. Never thought I'd say this but we need to get Klein back. And what about Wright, who has been brilliant in the Championship?
