Would that be the CEO who came up with the ridiculous Running Foxes tag tells lies on local radio about ticket sales and popularity on social media and decides to employ a convicted sex offender as a life coach.

Who is the convicted sex offender?

I see. At least we invest ours in some top quality overseas players 

On paper you can’t really grumble about the plan for Gurbaz, the replacement- Rutherford or Wiaan Mulder. 
 

hendricks has definitely struggled over here though.

He and Nasser talked a lot of sense. It is about the players being honest with each other, working hard and eradicating mistakes, but maybe they have stopped playing for the current management group. They look utterly joyless out there

It isn't what you'd expect from a Paul Nixon team either

[Guest worth_the_wait]

What's so depressing, is that every time I think we've reached "rock bottom" .................... we haven't.

 

I keep thinking of all the great times over the last 50 years, and I just can't believe how low we've sunk.

 

County Champions: 1975, 1996, 1998
Sunday League Champions: 1974, 1977
Benson & Hedges Cup winners: 1972, 1975, 1985
20-20 Cup winners: 2004, 2006, 2011

 

I can't claim to be a cricket "fanatic" and would be classed as a part-time fan ... but it's always been so good to see them doing well over the years.    In the mid/late 1990's we had 3 great teams: the City, Tigers and County.    It was so great to have a superb sporting City on all fronts.  

 

City and Tigers doing well.   Every season I pray for the County to somehow get some top talent from somewhere.

As a player but he’s not done a lot as a coach to stray from the accusation he’s a bully

That 2011 side had so much experience: Henderson, Razzaq, Hoggard, Jefferson, Andrew McDonald. We are asking a lot of these young players with so few experienced pros in the side. Our captain looks like he want to be elsewhere and Rutherford has just arrived and knows nobody. Hill is fairly quiet and has not played that many games for his age. Lilley is no leader, quite the opposite. So where do they look for leadership? I really felt for Ben Mike, trying to do it on his own at the end, he looked like he might cry at one point.

Rather of just gave Harris a deal to play all formats. You can also grumble that Gurbaz might not have actually been available

Why do we need any of that when we have Heavy Metal Cricket.

[Tommy Fresh]

Aren't we hosting an England women's game? I'm assuming the consultancy and the glowing endorsement given haven't been picked up by anyone. 

 

[tom27111]

As I'm a Northamptonshire resident, I've booked the day off work on Wednesday to go to the T20 at Wantage Road.

 

Always try to go to that game, think the last one was 2017? What a run chase the Foxes completed! A couple were rained off, then covid happened. 

[Harpenden Fox]

I wonder how much money we’ve spent on appointing Henderson as director of cricket and Hendricks as our overseas. I dread to think.

[TrentFox]

So depressing. My cricket career was Gunn & Moore Alliance, up here, and Thames Valley league down south……… and I don’t think any of the county’s batters  would have given us a moment’s worry even at that level. Absolutely desperate. 😳😞😞

Don't speak too soon....

I'm astonished he's such an expert in so many areas for someone so young, without and apparent training or qualifications. He'll sort out your diet, love life, finance, help you start a business

The whole thing seems tone deaf, you'd think someone would be on the ball regarding it even without hosting an England womens game.

Hope Henderson gets asked at the next Q&A, give him something to really look mardy about.

Last season had fans on Fathers Day. Leics won, Inglis hit a century 

[CrawlingFox]

Really good bowling display today.

 

Batting humiliation as per.

[RonnieTodger]

Couldn’t believe what I was listening to on the Radio Leicester T20 preview. Presenter asked Nixon about the shit start and he came out with a “One thing I can tell is that we’re a tight unit, there are no rifts in the camp”. 
 

He evidenced this by mentioning a bbq in aylestone, a pool party at Ben Mike’s mum’s house and a team night out in Worcester after they got pasted  

 

It was pure parody stuff.

Sadly we've fallen so badly since those halcyon days, we're just a minor county in all but name.

[Father Ted]

I pray for us tomorrow. 
 

Has a county side ever gone a whole season without winning a game across all 3 formats?

The racism allegation from Carberry too.
