This is abysmal.

 

Time for Ben Mike to stand up and show he can bat...

[Guest Lako42]

We are garbage

55/6

[Tommy Fresh]

It's a pretty good Middlesex attack to be fair but still

[Guest Lako42]

Have we ever had a 4 dayer done on the 1st day?

That would imply that we bowl Middlesex out, which won’t happen.

[Cakey]

I admire Evans in that he soaks balls up but again its 9 runs in nearly 2 hours. 

 

Bowling is brilliant let's be honest but even a decent club bat knows rotate the strike if the bowling is good. Just a matter of time blocking like that.

What if they bowl us out quickly after lunch then club our attack for a couple hundred before tea with Mike going for 10 an over, then declare and bowl us out in the evening?

 

It's a measure of how bad that session was that I'm writing the above and thinking they could have a go at it if they wanted.

 

They won't obviously, suspect their batting lineup will fill their boots and rack up 500.

I was more expecting they thrash us about for a couple of hours and declare

They could do that yep if they wanted

Death, Taxes and Leicestershire CCC being Shite. 

[Sunbury Fox]

It's days like this when even I start to wonder if Agnew has a point. We are so out of our depth, it would appear. 

[adam]

Looks like the last couple have put on about 20 which is a worry. Pitch must  be decent 😂

[Cakey]

Parkinson has an excellent technique. Right in behind the ball even to the quick. Surely should bat higher he normally ends up getting stranded.

Mind you could get stranded opening in this side.

 

Shows how poor the top order have been really. 

[Harpenden Fox]

Seconds lost by 250 runs to Northants seconds. No one in the entire Club appears able to bat for any length of time.

At times like this you have to wonder if it’s worth the ECB spending £3 million a year to keep us in business.

I've made a similar comment above. We are just so far off the required standard with no real sign of sustainable improvement. Very sad. 

[Stadt]

A few DIV 2 teams have been bowled out for lowish scores today.

 

Not picking up a good overseas opener was our problem I think but once Wright & Hill are back I'm confident we'll win one or two.

The playing squad and the approach to assembling a decent squad is the issue. Recruitment seems massively mismanaged as does player selection.

[Guest Lako42]

We were 6 down by this point in our innings

 

They are 55 without loss

Take Rhodes for example, when we've picked him up what was the purpose? What did we think he'd add to our squad, we just seem to accumulate players for no reason.

[Cakey]

This is humiliating to be honest. Even by our standards this is woeful. 

 

We have all said but realistically how many of these guys would get a contract elsewhere? 

 

I can't even see any green shoots in the 2s! 

[chrishlcfc]

All I asked for at the start of the season and we have been anything but, Unacceptable.

 

Hope we got a receipt for Hendricks. Should pay for his flights home. I knew he was crap before he came but even I thought he’d be better than this 

[Lionator]

If Nixon doesn’t bring home a one day trophy this season, I don’t see any reason to keep him for next season. 

[Sunbury Fox]

I've backed Nixon all along but now I think it's time for a change. You see the impact of a top quality coach at Derbyshire, who were worse than us last season. 

[Guest Lako42]

Garbage
