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...

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!)

Leicestershire require 5 points from the final game against Northants to avoid the wooden spoon. As Northants are pushing for promotion its going to be tough for Leicestershire i think. From the official website: 'Still, they are in the mix and County will be hopeful of climbing off the...

Moving house in a couple of weeks time and was just wandering if any of you could give me some advice about broadband, televison and phone deals. I currently have virgin media broadband (of which i'm paying way too much 23.47 a month), bt landline and had sky tv until i cancelled it last...

What a potent attack we're going to have tomorrow! O'brien, Harris, Malik and Cliff all out injured. Think i heard correctly on radio Leicester that O'brien will be out for the next 3 championship games , he's got a cracked rib i believe. On the plus side Allenby is back in the squad and...

Iain O'Brien has signed as the overseas player for 2009 season. He's a fast bowler from New Zealand. http://content.cricinfo.com/leicestershire/content/story/395543.html Boeta Dippenaar is being registered as a kolpak player.

England won toss and are 74-1 at lunch, cook man out. Prior, Panessar and Amjad Khan (making debut) come in for Ambrose, Bopara and Sidebottom.

Leicestershire have today signed 35 year old AJ Harris, former Notts bowler, on a one year contract. http://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/articles/1/1179.html

Anyone heard of this guy. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/story/372140.html Anyone got news of any other players coming or going. Kruger has left us i heard.

Kruger and Taylor added to the squad that beat Middlesex. Lawson has been dropped to the seconds. http://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/articles/0/995.html

New season starts tomorrow. Anyone know any team news yet. Dippenear and Du Preez to miss the game, as still involved in games in SA.

Anyone else getting calls from 0000000000 number all the time? Any advice how to get rid of the annoying barstewards!!

From the official site: New signings being lined up as six players are released Thursday, 20th September 2007 TIM BOON will today step up his attempts to inject new blood into the Leicestershire squad after announcing that six players have not been offered contracts for the 2008 season...

Check this out! Twenty20 record score by one batsmen, hitting 277! http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/england/content/story/309582.html

Gutted about this. Knew he was going to leave but wish it wasn't to Notts! Guess we wouldn't have seen him much next season as undoubtedly he'll be playing for England anyway. Boon reckons it will free up some funds and so a quality pacemen is a must what with Masters leaving as well...

Justin Langer declared Somersets innings at 50-8. Is this the lowest ever declaration? Apparently he wanted to expose Middlesex to the damp pitch. http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/countycricket2007/content/story/296507.html Does anyone know of any other bizarre decisions in cricket? Apart...

Finally under way. Leics 5-1. Robinson out for a duck.

Over the course of the last week Tim Boon has added a couple of additions to the squad. David Stiff has signed after being on trial with us after being released from Kent last summer. He's 22 years old and is a right arm fast bowler...

On a day of signings for Leicester City, Leicestershire have also announced the signing of Mansoor Amjad. He's a leg spinner who can bat and played a few games for us last season. He's not a big name yet, but Tim Boon reckons he will be in the future. He's only 19 years old...

Starts tomorrow 8am on sky i think. Can it get any better?! Vaughan is back as captain but his batting form must be in question. Nixon is also rumoured to be playing, he'll certainly get stuck into the Aussies!!

England depart for Australia this evening in an attempt to retain the Ashes. The Aussies have been full of themselves as usual with Mcgrath and Macgill having a dig at certain players. Come on Freddie lets stuff the Aussies and show them last year wasn't a fluke...

. Paul Henderson 17. Richard Stearman 14. Gareth McAuley 3. Patrick Kisnorbo 15. Nils-Eric Johansson 2. Alan Maybury 22. Momo Sylla 20. James Wesolowski 23. Andrew Welsh 18. Elvis Hammond 7. Iain Hume...

Anybody see this last night on Sky sports. It's Ten pin bowling Europe v USA. I was well hooked! Thought Europe were going to do it until the Norwegian got a split. Europe lost 18-17 in the end. Bugger!

After getting thrashed by Champions Sussex, Notts will go down today if Durham v Yorks finishes in a draw. What a shame! Ottis Gibson (ex-Leics) scored a ton for Durham, to earn some crucial bonus points and put a few nails in Notts's relegation coffin!! :) :)

Leics won the toss and put Worcs in. Early wicket for Masters. Worcs 17-1

According to Radio Leicester he has been awarded a benefit year for 2007.

Stuart Broad in Englands 16 man squad for one day series against Pakistan. (assuming it goes ahead) Think this is great news for him and Leicestershire, to have an England player once again. Will leave us very short on bowling cover though, especially if Griffith is out for a while...

Leicestershire won toss and at lunch are 103-2. Ackerman 44*. Our bowling line up is very inexperienced and young though. Be good test for them. Broad Aged 20 Cummins Aged 22 Liddle Aged 22 Naik Aged 22

Amjad has left Leicestershire due to his sore spinning finger. Doesn't look like Mongia will be back as Indian tour has been extended. Good opportunity for us to look at the younger guys anyway plus our overseas players this season have hardly been setting the place on fire, like most seasons...

Darren Maddy king of Twenty20 :038: :038: http://content-usa.cricinfo.com/topperformer/content/story/256628.html

Jayawardene & Sangakkara have broken the world record for the highest partnership in Test match cricket. They scored 624 runs for the 3rd wicket against S.Africa. Jayawardene was on 309 and Sangakkara fell for 285. What a great effort by these two :038...

Seems to be a lot of talk at the moment about switching suppliers. Various deals from Orange and this new free offer from Sky. Anybody know much about the Sky offer. I read somewhere it might not be available until next year. I'm tempted to go onto the orange mobile offer if i've got to wait...

Less than a week away until the QF v Kent. Got my ticket already, apparently less than 1,000 left so get a move on if you're thinking about going. http://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/news-detail.asp?NewsID=683

Another pants bowling performance by the looks of it. Sri Lanka 180-3 off 30 overs. Extras 21, 16 of which are wides!!!!

What an entertaining match. What a referee!!! The Refs in the World Cup aren't they meant to be the best in the world? Need i say more.

Maddy back in the team and hit a ton against Scotland. Only Scotland but at least his confidence should be higher now. Timely knock considering 2020 starts on Tuesday.

Leicestershire's replacement for Mohammad Asif for the rest of the season is Australian Adam Griffith. Anyone previously heard of this guy?! http://www.leicestershireccc.co.uk/news-detail.asp?NewsID=622

From Offical site: LEICESTERSHIRE are taking a look at Australian pace bowler Steve Magoffin in their ongoing search for a replacement overseas player for the second half of the season. The 26-year-old Queenslander will line up for Leicestershire’s Second XI when they take on Warwickshire...

Another good knock from Mongia. Leics 303-3 close day 1. Mongia 142* http://usa.cricinfo.com/db/NEW/LIVE/frames/LEICS_GLAM_CC2_09-12MAY2006.html Sadler back in team as Ackerman out injured and unbeaten on 40 odd. Good to see players taking their chances. Competition for places seems...
