Leicestershire County Cricket Club

[Lionator]

It’s good that we’re winning more than we’re not but we’re also far too reliant on certain players at the moment. Currie, Goldsworthy, Patel, Ahmed and Hull are the only players who have done anything so far. Which is also promising in a weird way

Bowling unit in the blast is looking good. If we nail the combinations no reason why we don’t finish top 4 here

We moan about the poor crowds at GR me as much as anyone but just over 5k at Yorkshire and the commentator  says that's a good crowd.

 Sun out on a Sunday afternoon in a County  the size if Yorkshire and that considered  a good crowd , Another great win btw the 2 loan boys outstanding again

This is what happens when a governing body essentially act like their product's shit (which it isn't). The public lose faith too.

 

Such a shame, there were as many internationals on show today, past and present, as you might have got in the equivalent fixture pre-central contracts.

 

So pleased with how we manage to defend totals like that when the odds are against us. The Cup win last year seems to have done a lot for our mentality in the limited overs stuff.

And not far off as many as The Hundred games too.

Hull consistently over 90mph on the Yorkshire speed gun. Fastest ball in his first two overs was 93.8mph.

He looked absolutely rapid today.

Loved taking one of my lads with me there today.

[Lako42]

****ing love beating those jumped up slags

[Walshy5]

Watched our batting innings but missed there's as I had something on. Did we bowl exceptionally well or was it definitely not the 200+ wicket that the Yorkshire commentators on the stream suggested?

On the Terrace? I thought I was the only Leicestershire fan there until about 2 overs to go when a group started making a bit of noise.

That new stand up on the top tier.

Members forum 1st July to discuss ownership of the club should be interesting

Struggling to get an answer from them if they are going to stream event. Would come but work is crackers and not really feeling a rushed 160 mile round trip.

Great win, good bowling, Currie was brilliant for us, didn't think we had got enought

Hull has put on about 7 or 8 mph in a season. If that speed gun was right. May explain why the batsmen seem to be so rushed.

Yes l agree, has got extra pace this season, bows well.

[Walshy5]

Ahmed missing tomorrow. Shame as he's a massive part of our bowling unit. Him and Goldsworthy have really put the squeeze on in the middle overs.

[HaroldBazBo]

Yorks won't lie down but nice to see Northants get clobbered

[Lionator]

So Chris Wright failed a drugs test, though his defence is one of cross contamination. I wonder if we’ll ever find out more.
 

I hope all of those people who were coming up with theories about falling out/malpractice are feeling a bit silly now.

So I was spot on about Chris Wright

Wright is the last person I’d think of to be doping/using recreational drugs. Something seems off to me.

Must be a Warwickshire thing Paul Smith Keith Piper Ed Giddins Dermot Reeve now Chris Wright

Dennis Amiss due to speak at the cricket society in the winter better get the drug testers on standby 

[Harpenden Fox]

3 wides in the first over we bowl. Our friend Ben Mike goes for 17 in his first over. Not a glorious start thus far at Wantage Road
