Leicestershire County Cricket 2023

[glyn]

Some truly terrible innings by the batsmen. missed opportunity to get a bit of momentum

 

[homer]

Local Sunday League standard

 

[glyn]

Abysmal. Even Mulder’s 46 was dire. Shame Patel went when he did.

Been watching our innings on mute, I dread to think what Sky have made of it.

 

[homer]

Hilariously shit

 

[Jeff]

Well on top against Durham.

 

[glyn]

Durham have been diabolical in the field, but these two have played it perfectly.

If only we hadn’t made such a mess of that Yorks match we could have been 3-5

 

[glyn]

What an innings from Patel. Hs really is a good player.

 

[glyn]

We’re doing our best to avoid winning this…

 

[camberwell fox]

Won

 

[glyn]

just going to point out factually with no expectation of a win that Leics have put themselves 100 away from a win today with 23 overs left. After bowling Gloucs out in a less than two sessions with the game heading for a draw overnight.

And they’ve done it.

 

[glyn]

Brilliant win. Makes up for the last match.

Ackerman, Parkinson and Wright also to leave at the end of the season

 

[glyn]

Wow. Parky was known to be leaving, but surprised about Ackerman.

I’m not saying it’s not the right decision but gutted for Nico as he clearly desperately wanted to see improvements and was frustrated at what happens on the pitch. But also given we’ve actually had a decent red ball summer I hope it doesn’t lead to a downturn across that format whilst we play for time and the next “rebuild”

County admin has had enough of these awful T20 performances….

County admin has had enough of these awful T20 performances….

What did it say?

 

[glyn]

What did it say?

nothing that bad just unprofessional. Or looking at it another way, a bit more human than the usual spin the club accounts give…

One tweet just said “Thank god for that” when we finally took the first wicket

The second tweet said something like “Fed up of talking about T20 now. Anything else to discuss?”

[give_us_a_wave]

To be fair I've despised it since it was devised. Reminds me of the stuff we played at school in games lessons when it looked like it was about to rain. Quick slog then leg it inside. **** all to do with cricket & has produced 2 generations of players who can earn millions in India & yet wouldn't have had a career 30 years ago.
Invented to accommodate people who don't have the attention span for anything that lasts longer than a bus wank.

First game of the season in the one day cup against Surrey.

Leics should win this comfortably.
