Leicestershire CCC 2024

[glyn]

Great comeback win today, winning the last will see us either in the quarter-finals or straight to the semi finals. All without four players who are barely playing in the Hundred.

 

[Jeff]

Leicestershire need 196 from 36 overs in a rain reduced game against Gloucestershire.

Holland and Hill both out in the first over.

 

[Jeff]

Won!
They're second in the table, but will go down to third if Warwickshire beat Notts, there's no play there at the moment due to rain.

Notts won on DLS

I have enjoyed watching our matches over the last few weeks, but boy do they like to put us through the wringer.

 

[glyn]

excellent stuff

 

[SimonW]

Great stuff, quarter final win.

 

[Jeff]

Semi final's about to start.

The Foxes won the toss and elected to bowl.

 

[Jeff]

Goldsworthy a great loan signing so far. Have a Somerset-supporting friend and he is fourth choice for them

Shame he had to go back.

Somerset made 334/4. Goldsworthy 115 not out.

 

[glyn]

And Ben Green now bowling against us. Tough ask but chaseable if we get a good foundation for Rahane and Handscomb

 

[Jeff]

And Ben Green now bowling against us.

And has taken the wickets of Hill, Holland and Rahane. So that's probably game over.

Starting tomorrow. On face value it’s an astonishing selection. He’s got two wickets for us this season at over 100. But did well for Lions against SL, and England set up clearly like him and we have rated him from day 1.

Good luck to him.

Bizarrely he is also the only current player involved in all three format squads for England apparently.

Also along with Rehan, having two test players coming from Leics in a couple of years is a really important signal as they continue to try and sideline the small counties.

[Jeff]

98 all out.

 

[glyn]

98 all out.

Was happy with that by the end. Shame we let Yorkshire go over 250 by the end.

That’s the end of our season, really. But another decent campaign in all comps. Shame promotion still seems a million miles away.

Looks like we’re heading for another innings defeat against Northants

They've avoided an innings defeat. Mainly due to Currie who is 100 not out

246/8 (effectively 9, it doesn't look like Kimber will bat), Leics lead by 66
