Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Cobbo]

We mere all out for 244 - Middlesex now 5-1, O'Brien picking up where he left off with another wicket.

[Corky]

Low-scoring game, but we've got an extra bonus point.

We can win this.

[Cobbo]

Middlesex are 50-4

[Cobbo]

68-5 - keep on it lads! Need them wins.

[Cobbo]

76-6 at the close. Come on Leicestershire!

[Wilkesy]

84 for 8 now!

At the moment we still lead by 1 run, surely the first win of the season has arrived!

Bowled them out for 91, and won by 8 wickets

Top bowling in both innings

[SemperEadem]

Get in ! Great performance from the lads

[Cobbo]

Woohoo

A team with quite a lot of talent in it too and we've battered them. Good stuff.

They can fork off.

ffs why cant they produce some young players for once... <_<

[Cobbo]

First game of the pro40 today at Northants, we have got 125-3 off 23 overs before it rained.

So either going to be called off or D/L is coming into play...

[Cobbo]

Back in play and lost Allenby straight away 127-4

Greensmith is playing for us, anyone know who he is?

[Corky]

Off again- 128/5 in the 25th over.

Panesar bowling well for Northants.

It's not Greg Smith is it?, ceefax etc just hearing G Smith and putting in the wrong name? official site says he is due to start playing again in the 1 dayers....internet now says it's du toit

Leicestershire: Boyce, Allenby, Cobb, Jm Taylor, Greensmith, H Dippenaar ©, New (W), W White, C Henderson, I O'Brien, Gurney

Odd.

Well we have taken an early wicket - but they are scoring at a fair old rate...not sure of their D/L target.

[gazzer]

target 122 off 17 which should be a breeze for them. Won the toss and put us in most likely expecting a rain-affected game which under D/L always benefits the team batting second (viz. Eng-WI T20 World Cup)

Off for rain again.

A match for the spectators.

Glad I didn't go down there...

If they come out again the revised D/L will be even easier.

[Corky]

Rained off in the end, so a draw and a point apiece.

Northants reached 37-1 from 4.2 overs.

The point may prove useful, especially as it looks that the Pro40 may well continue next year after all..

Well it looks as though Jim Allenby is on his way out as we thought - probably to Notts. Looks like we now just a feeder club to bring players through for the bigger counties. Bagofshite.
