Derbyshire pro 40

[Jeff]

Leics should get their first win of the season from this...


Leics made 183-8, Derbshire are 116 for 7 with 11ish overs left.


Loads of kids in the team, Pope (who?) is keeping wicket, New is playing for Derbyshire.

 

[Jeff]

119-8

Loads of kids in the team, Pope (who?) is keeping wicket, New is playing for Derbyshire.

Signed him last summer, he's only 20. Bit of an audition for Pope and New as Nixon's long-term replacement! 2 ct and a stumping for Pope, and 3 ct for New so far!

Sam Cliff gets 4 wickets too and Taylor 43*. With all these good performances by the youngsters going on (4 teenagers, a 20 yr old and a 19 yr old in the side today), we might start getting a bit more of a good news story about County soon rather than Sky droning on about our Kolpaks. I might criticise the policy myself but I don't like the national media doing it!

 

[Jeff]

162-8 with 3.something overs left. Leics could lose this.

 

[Jeff]

163-9!

 

[GazLCFC]

163/9. Not even Leicestershire can lose this..... surely!

 

[Jeff]

10 needed from 10 balls

 

[GazLCFC]

7 from 8 now

 

[glyn]

I don't fancy us to finish this off. Tom New doing it as well!

 

[Jeff]

Leics win

 

[glyn]

Leics win

(about time we finished off a win)

 

[glyn]

Smith, Taylor and Pope we are all batting for the first time in one-day cricket today, and Cobb's only previous innings was a 0*.

Same :icon_razz At can at least we can recognise why we went down the Kolpak route.

Some of the sky commentators live in a bizarre parallel universe where John Maunders and David Stiff were on the verge of the England squad before being axed by us.

I remember that idiot Lloyd having a go at us for choosing Kolpaks over Broad, not letting facts get in his way :icon_roll

Good to see 7 Leics youngsters in action anyway, was going to go but saw a few clouds so decided to stay home and drink on my own

I remember in the Warwicks Pro40 game they were on about our Kolpaks, but they weren't too bothered about the fact that Warwicks had 4 South Africans like Trott because they were 'England-qualified'.
