What games this happened at?

sheep vs Leicester

[filbertway]

Wow.

Well played snape and the bowlers

It was something like 65/7 at one point and they managed to win the game by one wicket in with the last but one ball, getting 151.

Well played boys

[Flynny]

Haha, we've been saved by the Duckworth Lewis there. I doubt we'd have put on another 25 for the final wicket, even with 10 overs remaining.

In answer to my previous query it seems the problem was not bad light but too much....

"Leicestershire’s Club Captain came to his side’s rescue with an unbeaten half century when they were in deep trouble at 72-7, having been left a revised target of 152 after a lengthy delay caused by the setting sun. "

The tail are doing well at the moment. Dragging us out of a sticky situation.

Top 3 with ducks and not one batsman has made 20+. Derbyshire all over.

David Masters is a under-rated, fantastic bowler, who rarely gets a mention.

Jerome Taylor made a fair few runs, crikey.

So at the moment, Leicestershire have 4 points whereas Derbys have 3....i think

Went yesterday, with JME

Derbys bowled out for 194, the Leicestershire batted, good start at 45-0, Tom New and John Maunders , but then all of a sudden, a collapse, with JM the first to go. Tom New fortunetely got a valuebale 75 i think.

Broady and Masters could do a decent job for us...just got to bat pretty much all day today, put them in, in the evening, grab early wickets, apply the pressure on Derbys

[Flynny]

Look at Broady go. I'm just refreshing it every couple of minutes and he's scored about 10 more every time. 69 not out so far. 79 now. Top scorer this innings, and 1 boundary away from the top score of the match which was 83.

Really didn't see it being this close. Derbyshire must be favourites now, surely?

I was really hoping for some respite from England playing like pillocks and we look like losing this game as well.

[Micky Ruddle]

Astonishing.

Setting Derbys a target of 400+, Katich and his squad are on their way to a remarkable victory.

Stuart Broad - Marvellous

Let's hope Boon can keep hold of him for a few more years.

Where is the ambition in this club!!!!

C'mon the foxes!!!!

[Flynny]

Broad's taken 5 wickets, Masters two, and we've won it!

I don't believe that. Brilliant performance from Broad, top wicket-taker and run-scorer for us.

[Micky Ruddle]

Quality Haha!

Looked like we couldn't get Katich out, but well done Broady.

8 wickets in the match altogether and 40 in the first innings and 91* in the second. This lad is class

Shame he's likely to **** off elsewhere for next season.

Yeah, money though isn't it. We haven't got that, nor ambition at this club.

I hate to pull the club down, but we really do need a kick up the arse!

If he'd been in the test squad it'd really have helped us, because even though he'd be missing for a ton of matches he'd have no need to move for money or to increase his chances of selection. Fecking Tremlett.

That's what i can not understand.

He wasn't even on the verge of breaking into the Test Squad, then all of a sudden, he gets in!

[Micky Ruddle]

For Fox Sake!

Me old man just came back from work and told me that Radio Leicester has said that David Masters has signed for Essex on a 3-year-contract

Just heard this. Looking like we're gonna be even weaker next summer, with Broad almost certain to leave as well.

Yep, and it looks like NICK WALKER is going to be our main f^cking strke bowler (excuse my fowl language).

Hate to be pessimistic, but it looks like we will sit at the root of the table at both competitions.
