Jonathan Liew at the Guardian has turned his quill away from football just long enough to write this lovely piece about LCCC, made my cynical old heart swell just a little - https://www.theguardian.com/sport/b...lish-cricket-teams-should-serve-not-just-sell

Liew is an extremely good writer. Imho of course. Eschews the worn and finds a fresh way to paint the picture and draw you in.

Leics were all out for 173 against Worcs. But that's starting to look like a good score. Worcs currently 45/5.

45/6

45/7

 

[Jeff]

48/8. Five wickets for Wright.

Now I’ve seen the score at 60/9 I full expect a tenth wicket century stand. Wish I’d not looked at my phone.

 

[Jeff]

83 all out

 

[glyn]

Right, now to see if they can capitalise and keep it tight until close. Although don’t think that is in Budinger’s nature.

 

[glyn]

Keeping it tight like 56-0 off 8 overs…..what do I know

64/2 now. Both openers out.

glyn You know not to speak to soon?

Worcs need 27 to win with 3 wickets left.
I maintain we lost this match losing both openers going at a stupid run rate on the first evening. Gave us some crucial runs to set the chase, but could have done with them being there Friday morning.

LCCC. The gift that keeps on giving.

Whether its scoring the thick end of 600 & still managing to lose by an innings or skittling the opposition for 83 & still finding a way to lose. They can do the lot.

A team for the ****ing ages.

not off to a great start in the blast, bowled out for 99 with more than an over to go

Heading for an easy defeat

 

[give_us_a_wave]

So much for all that optimism of a few weeks back. Utterly shite at all forms of the game. As ****ing usual.

 

[Jeff]

Good start today.

Worcs 10/2 after two overs.

 

[glyn]

We need a win today so we can try and avoid leaving ourselves such a mountain to climb in the second half of the campaign as we did last year.

Is anyone else’s stream a bit choppy?
