Well its been a tough old season. Yesterday was probably the highlight as we avoided the wooden spoon! The six players released so far (Jefferson, Dutoit, Dixey, Malik, Jones, Joseph) won't really be missed, If Jefferson could have stayed fit, he would have been an asset but unfortunately...

Well it looks like you were bang on, we didn't even get a game out of him :bang:

First Class, List A and T20 against us. Not too shabby. Leicestershire 4 6 2 292 146 73.00 1 1 Leicestershire 7 7 3 233 69* 58.25 0 3 Leicestershire 2 2 1 138 75 138.00 0 2

Well, signing a 37 year old south african on a three year deal isn't ideal. I think it is a bit of a gamble. Although we are crying out for some mid order stability and there isn't much else out there. Will give him the benefit of the doubt. Malik, White, Dixey, Eckersley, Rob Taylor, yeah...

Scotland lose against Argentina :icon_lol: Now means they need to beat England by 7+ points now, which won't happen. It looks like the QFs will be Irleand v Wales France v England SA v Australia Argentina v NZ This would mean a southern hempishere team vs northern hemisphere final.

We've ****ed up big time. Such a big loss means even if we win tomorrow, we probably won't qualify.

Its not a free channel, but should be in the entertaintment extra package if you have it. It should be quite easy to stream free online (or £4 per month through official website) Unfortunately some of us are in a training workshop all week :bang:

A bit about who we're up against http://www.espncricinfo.com/champions-league-twenty20-2011/content/current/story/532798.html I think Ruhuna will be difficult on the subcontinent, more use to these kind of pitches. So I think the game against T&T will be a must win game. Cricinfo also...

Well it makes a welcome change to score 300, but there were still 7 one digit scores! Good fightback from 4/3 mind. Eckersley looks like a bit of a find, and Smith really needed that ton after a poor season.

Good thing the awards dinner has been cancelled, there is nothing to give out! Only so many times you can spout out the same excuses about youth etc. Chalky with some kind of Botham effort would be nice from here :102:

You would hope not, they have picked Cook, Bell, Bopara, Fatel, Stokes, Trott, Kieswetter in the ODI squad, Pietersen, Hales, Buttler in the T20 too. You think they would have enough to cover Morgan. From what I read, we get sfa if we go out in this group stage. So we need to put in two big...

I guess he 'does a job' in seeing off the new ball, although when you're as medicore as he is, then you don't tend to score big runs. Lol, this match is already a rout. We will follow on no doubt.

Wow, what can you say. It has been a truly awful season so you really have to enjoy these kind of good days :icon_bigg Now in qualifiers for the champions league, a great opportunity for the club, so lets hope the team can stay together and they can continue this T20 momentum. Highlight of...

Not going today, I would have had to pay extra for this match on top of my membership and couldn't be bothered. Now slightly regrettting it lol. Although the weather looks quite poor. I would be quite surprised if it wasn't rain affected.

Gurney leaving isn't a big loss, I think we can find someone to fill his shoes quite easily. Chris Liddle Mk 2? There is something on facebook about Tom New leaving the club. Heard anything?

He was out for 76! You're such a jynx :icon_razz Most teams would have taken an 700% increase on their previous innings. 250 could be a decent total. Kent are having a bad season so we could put them under pressure.

Never read the books or showed any interest until my gf made me watch the 6th film, and I have to say that I really enjoyed it! The 7th film was quite dull, but the 8th was quite exciting, well paced and all action.

Nice one. I'm going to get around to watching it once all the series is out so I can watch it over one weekend. Its just better that way! Just had a flashback of how S3 ended, can't wait! Have watched 4 episodes of Boardwalk Empire back to back this evening. It has its moments but I don't think...

To be fair, the implosion was so quick, he probably just went for a quick cuppa and came back to find us 7 down. Not really sure what to say, we've put in some right shockers in the county championship recently. It was only last month we were out for 48, so getting out for 34, sadly, isn't...

Broad hat trick, nice.

A bit of a fight back, Broad with three quick wickets with the new ball. If we get them out for under 300 then we're right back in this.

Bad toss to lose. I expect India to get a decent first innings lead. Think we'll need to bat quite well second time around.

I thought the same re: captaincy. I think the more games he plays for England the less likely he would be to leave. We couldn't really afford to offer him a contract or opportunities to compete with the top sides. I kind of think he might stay for another season, would definifely help if we...

White has had 17 overs in this years T20 and gone for 175. One wicket. Absolutely absurd. Hoggard going at 8.55 which isn't great, but he takes the odd wicket! We actually have a handy T20 batting line up. We just need a decent start and to make use of the fielding restrictions. Then...

Ridiculous to suggest he will play for England, although his batting and fielding have much improved. His bowling is a bit too wayward, he can take wickets but bowls too many four balls. According to cricinfo his strike rate is 61, which is good, economy is 4.1 which is shocking!

Win by an innings and 60 runs. Jefferson's ton really and some decent middle order contributions set the game up for us nicely. Then it sounded like the pitch started to take a lot of turn, and Henderson and Naik did the rest. Classic type of win at the Oval. Surrey are in a bit of a mess...

I wouldn't take Dawson, Baines, SWP, Lennon, Huddlestone, Parker or Bent. I don't think Capello will take Warnock, Dawson, SWP, Parker, Huddlestone, Bent or Johnson.

We needed a good day after some of the dismal performances of late. That was indeed a special effort by Taylor and McDonald. Shame that McDonald has just found his feet and now has to go off! Hopefully Benning will regain his fitness and be able to step into his shoes in the T20. Don't...

45/5 Talk about trying to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. Need runs tomorrow morning

Re: leicsccc: James Taylor made a patient 12 for England Lions today, involved in a g This is an embarrasingly, positive spin on his innings. 12 from 82 balls sounds like he was scratching around for a long time.

I think if a player plays international cricket for one side, then they shouldn't be able to switch teams. That would have ruled out Kieswetter (SA U19s) and Morgan (Ireland). 4/11 foreign born players is just embarrassing. It does take the gloss off the win tbh. Lumb's father played...

Michael Hussey is special. 60 from 24 is unreal.

Australia need something special to win this They need 110 from 9 overs.

Decent start, I don't know what the pitch is like, maybe its lost its tinge of green. Worcs still big favourites, we need to have a good first session tomorrow to have any chance.

Match abandoned, we go through on net run rate It sounds like we had a bit of luck today, although yesterday it was against us, so I guess it evened out. Have the ICC chosen the Carribean rainy season to host the world cup? There seems to be a few ruined games so far.

D/L hasn't really been adapted to deal with T20 imo. A run rate of 10.2 over 6, beats 9.55 over 20? I don't know about that. Ah well, we should still beat Ireland and go through. Plenty of positives to take. I don't really agree with this idea of opening with spinners in T20, something that...

McLaren for England :icon_cool:038: A big achievement. He could put himself in the frame for a bigger job, although I hope he has a go in the champions league with Twente, now they're in the group stages.

Its disappointing that he had his chances to win frames but let a few slip through his fingers. The first session of the final has been absolutely dire! I'm hoping Robertson improves and wins it.

Palace are an awful tinpot club. Its a disgrace that they've been in administration twice, and to have had Simon Jordan and Neil Warnock in tandem is as good a reason as any for them to be relegated. Its just a shame that someone didn't come in for Ambrose and Clyne, then you think they'd be...

Surely the whole Qatari bid is just a publicity/tourism stunt, designed to put a positive spin on the place? There's no feasible way they could actually host the World Cup. I fancy England in 2018 and Australia for 2022.
