Leicestershire County Cricket 2023

Astonishing stuff, three consecutive decent batting performances (so far).

On two absolute roads.....

Not really a negative for us though seeing as I've seen us get skittled on the most batting biased wickets ever produced in the last few years.

Shame, the weather is going to spoil this one. Could forfeit an innings and put on 100 in the morning to set up a chase, but doubt they will at this stage of the season.

First day against Derbyshire, Leics have gone from 45-0 to 49-5.

Lost 6 wickets for 12 runs but steadied the ship now 77-6

Back to the kind of season we've come to know and love?

I was a bit worried about the self-congratulatory tone we’re getting so far, and can’t see evidence we’ll take 20 wickets regularly yet. How we bounce back from a first collapse of the season will say a lot

 

[give_us_a_wave]

That was as awful as anything we've seen in the last decade. ****ing false dawn.

 

[glyn]

Looked like we were having a good batting day to see out a draw until 20 minutes or so ago. Three quick wickets means we’ve got a lot of work to do.

 

[Orifice]

Can we pray for more rain?

 

[glyn]

Big trouble now

 

[fox58]

23 in front now with 3 wickets remaining

 

[glyn]

47 in front, min 6 overs left, 1 wicket remaining.
Take off a couple of overs for change of innings I think.

Close.

 

[Jeff]

What a farce

 

[glyn]

Only just seen. Should have asked me

47 in front, min 6 overs left, 1 wicket remaining.

Eh?

 

[Blue Maniac]

Oh. Right. Gotcha.

 

[fox58]

Looks like normal service has been resumed, forced to follow on today and still 144 behind

 

[Jeff]

Match drawn. They seem to be a bit more resilient this season.

They dug in well and a couple of century’s to boot

Indeed. Can only take you so far though, we need to start taking more wickets. I understand from the podcast last week Callum Parkinson has been injured - I didn’t quite know if we were just leaving him out because of Rehan and/or the fact he’s out of contract this year.
