I’ve just got some tickets down here for Worcs vs Lancs a week on Friday and they’re still charging £25 despite being dross this year and well out of it.

A great win last night. Always love beating them. How many times have we written us off this season and still got the win? Me included. Nice to be competitive and going into the final 2 games with something to play for. Even if we don't get through.

What suits us more here? Northants or Birmingham winning?

[Lionator]

So Bumrah, Pant and Pujara are going to be playing for Leicestershire in the game against India. Can we have them permanently??

Given we still have to play Northants, probably a Birmingham win.

I think a Northants win would be better. Keeps Birmingham level on points with us and their last 4 games include Lancs and Yorkshire twice. Plus if Northants win this and then beat Yorkshire on Friday they will have sealed qualification before they play us, which might mean they rest players or will at least be less motivated. 

[HaroldBazBo]

Dunno that’s 2 losses in quick succession for Northants, could be dropping away.

Northants bowling is terrible. Our bowling is quality. As long as the batting holds up I reckon we can do them.

Last time Lynn and Neesham beat us on their own. We'll need to get them out quickly to have a chance. 

[Graceroad]

Desperately need Notts to beat Derby and Worcs  to beat Yorkshire which is unlikely.Real chance we could win both matches and finish with 16 points and still miss out which will be incredibly unlucky

[Graceroad]

George Rhodes to leave at the end of the season didn't see that coming

[CosbehFox]

If we do qualify as well, it's going to be Surrey who are in incredible form 

[HybridFox]

Desperately hoping we last in this tour match. I've got tickets for the Saturday and don't want it over by tomorrow

That's a great experience for our players tbf. Might learn a thing or two

[Graceroad]

Surely it would have made sense to play Hendricks today to see if he can find some form and why play Evison over Scriven?

Feels like a "Hendricks has been released early from his contract" style announcement is somewhere around the corner.

Possible although don't imagine he will go unless he gets paid in full

Well if it is performance related we should be able to have a whip round for the £12 quid, cross lines with his signing. When our recruitment was told the overseas player should average nearly 150 they thought they were signing Bradman not realising it was his bowling average. As for Rhodes wil remember probably one of the worst T20 batting performance ever when judging by how far the ball was travelling was using an inflatable bat

[Graceroad]

Sadly looks a poor crowd although Jarvis will no doubt say it's a sell out

[CosbehFox]

Leics will be praying Hendricks ends up in the South African squad

It's early really, should be more trickling in as the day goes on surely. 

[MaidstoneFox]

We've finally got a good overseas bowler then. I see Bumrah is opening the bowling for us this morning!

[Stadt]

I was looking at Pujarah's stats on cricinfo, his bowling figures are good - surprising he's not bowled more in his career
