Sounded like 'vote farce' to me.

Watched with my Dad today too. He was at the 61 and 69 finals. We never thought we would see Leicester win the cup. A very special and emotional day! As a lad always dreamed of us winning the cup. The dream has become a reality! Happy days!!!!

When does Abbas come over? He has missed a large chunk of the season already.

Thanks for the info!

I'm wanting to enter the ballot for the Newcastle game which I believe opens this Friday evening. Does anyone know how long the ballot stays open for? Just I'm away this weekend and wander how long I've got to enter!

Felt numb when the final whistle went. The Mrs came down stairs and I just burst into tears! Incredible amazing achievement. No words can describe this. Will not get better than this ever... well unless we win the champions league?!

Well the lack of posts on here this season certainly sums up the feeling of our club at the moment. Today we sunk to a new low of conceding over 500 runs in one day. After an encouraging start (performance wise if not results) we have just seem to have given up. No win in the championship again...

We have signed ex Derbyshire batsman Dan Redfern on a 2 year deal http://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/lc/News/2014/Dan-Redfern-joins-Leicestershire

Sarwan replacement lined up apparently, as he will be missing for a lot of the season. Also signed Anthony Ireland fast bowler released by Middlesex. http://www.espncricinfo.com/county-cricket-2013/content/story/623124.html

Meaningless on the pitch but not off...LCCC need all the revenue they can muster to maintain status as a county cricket club. Nixon's role (which i'm sure he'll do very well) is to promote the club and raise funds for future seasons of cricket at Grace Road. Important in my book

Nixon has become an ambassador for LCCC as announced on Radio Leicester. Think this is a great move by the club. Also mentioned that close to signing Ramanresh Sarwan as overseas player (West Indian batsmen)

Pace bowler Robbie Joseph signed on short term deal till end of May! Cricket season would have only just started wouldn't it. I guess if he impresses may get a longer deal?! http://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/lc/News/2012/Joseph-signs-for-Leicestershire

It was mentioned on Radio leicester that we may be signing him for the T20s. Also a page on teletext about it. Whitticase is fairly confident he will come. Has it down as a 70-30 chance. (How he came up with that i don't know!)

So its confirmed. Innings and 196 run defeat. Bottom of the pile and what a pile of **** we are. What a depressing end to a miserable season. Over and out.

Northamptonshire 461/6 (95.0 ov) Leicestershire Leicestershire won the toss and elected to field Day 1 Northamptonshire RR 4.85 Last 10 ovs 85/1 RR 8.50 Great performance so far. If we don't get a decent first innings score, the wooden spoon is very much on!
