Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Bert]

These two are doing well though, the score or the run rate isn’t any sort of issue. Getting themselves in and taking their time. 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

Very difficult conditions, damp and gloomy, swing and nip, it’s going to be a scrap 

[Bordersfox]

Ball already wet and barely swinging.  Change bowlers come on and things should be a bit easier.

Didn't look much wrong with that LBW shout.

The one we got given was a terrible decision to be fair.

95 with 7 wickets left sounds so easy on paper 😭😭

[CoventryFox]

Ffs there’s too many negative superficial lemons on here

I thought I could see off and middle when it hit the pads. But that might be a case of me seeing what I wanted to see. Close it most certainly was

We’re Leicestershire fans.

Mulder and Handscombe to see us home 

[Mark 'expert' Lawrenson]

What a disaster 

[MaidstoneFox]

They just need to knock it around, rotate the strike and no silly shots. Only needs one solid partnership

Delusional. This is over I’m afraid.

[Lionator]

How have we ended up producing a pitch like this for our biggest game in years?

Swing gloom and damp most probably responsible 

[st albans fox]

50/50 for me

[st albans fox]

Is it the kind of pitch where if you get in then it’s fairly straightforward but it’s v tough to get in ?

Van Buuren’s innings could suggest that’s the case - he only got out to a shot he didn’t really need to have a crack at.

Not really as the Bounce is horrendous too, some leaping up, others are pea rollers.
