So....what's the weather like in Leicester today?

 

[Hazzman]

Really I can't see this game on. I have been all over town today and despite it in being showers. It's been regular enough to mess up the outfield.

It's akin to when we played Derbyshire a couple of years back and it was called off. One prolonged shower would call it off now but I bet ya Sky try and get em to play a 5 over game.

I know the feeling, I'll be really annoyed if I go all the way to fetch the Sky remote to change the channel then find it's been abandoned :icon_bigg

Leicestershire win by 13 runs:icon_razz

The bad news is that Bumble is predicting us to win it:icon_eek::icon_conf

good performance, should have won by around 30 runs though. Too many sixes late on which I'm sure they won't be happy with. Got high standards now!!

Interesting that Mansoor Amjad didn't play and more interestingly neither did Jacobs our Kolpak 'star'. What a poor signing.

 

[Yorkshire Vixen]

good victory quite exciting all the way through the match

 

[Leesoh]

What a game! And I saw my first ever hat-trick today!

Don't worry, we're signing another overseas player soon :icon_roll

Allenby, Ackerman, Kruger, Henderson, Jacobs, Mansoor, Rosenberg and this new signing. Thats quite a squad we have.

(Great performance the other day I should say )

At least Allenby and Rosenborg are England-qualified, which is the key thing. Neither Kruger or Jacobs have been an improvement on the country squad so far.

I read in the Mockery the other day that the Leicestershire Board had a go at the county for not developing enough home-grown talent.

You going to any 20/20 games anyway Glyn?

I booked a few for me and my mates against Notts but the weather report doesn't look great! I didn't realise you couldn't get a refund if there were no play either, pretty unfair!

As I live in Cardiff I won't be heading up to Grace Road....I was intending to pop down to a Glamorgan match but haven't got round to looking at their fixtures yet, but the weather is spoiling it a bit at the moment isn't it?

Very surprised you can't get a refund if no play at all. Harsh
