Leicestershire County Cricket 2023

[glyn]

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

Leics should win this comfortably.

And have done. Tremendous batting chase.

 

[glyn]

116-0 off 17 overs so far today

 

[glyn]

I jinxed it big time. Sorry.

3 wickets gone now

[glyn]

Huge total. Our batting line up is really good for this competition. Sol, Rishi and Lewis can have a bash with the knowledge the experience of Ackermann and Handscomb are in afterwards. And then Kimber and Mulder to give it a bash.

Kimber hasn’t even batted today!

Kimber hasn’t even batted today!

He has now. 6 off his first ball.

6 off his first ball.

4 off his second. 4 off his third.

But that's the end of the innings. 380/5

4 off his second. 4 off his third.

But that's the end of the innings. 380/5

That was brilliant. That’s our third highest 50 over score and highest against a first class county (albeit the weakened teams in this version of the comp)

 

[Jeff]

Leics won by 264 runs.

Jinxed it again. But at least we recovered a bit.

 

[Jeff]

Good start today. 124/0 after 16 overs.

 

[Jeff]

That’s our third highest 50 over score

Should beat that today. 293/3 with 11 overs to go.

Jinxed it. Patel's out. 161.

First Leics batsmen to score in all the formats in one season.

Still should get 400

Jinxed it. Kimber out

Doesn’t take much to jinx it, does it?

We tried our best to jinx it, but still they won by just under 100 runs. Magnificent stuff.

I have no idea how magnificent that is. Cricket is Greek to me. Is it it like winning 9-0 away on a really wet Friday night?

Leicestershire do seem to be doing pretty well in the One-Day-Cup thing.
Ok, Micky Hamphire have a game in hand, but our run-rate is +2.095 - theirs is +0.888
