Leics lost


When Razzaq was out they should have concentrated on winning the game instead of trying to continue the big hitting.

As far as I'm concerned winning the T20 was a very welcome relief in an otherwise appalling season so I can't get too upset about the disappointment of under-performance in India - e.g. misreading of pitch and therefore poor selection/ tactics etc in the opening game e.g. Hoggard couldn't get into the Yorks T20 side three years ago when bowling in favourable English conditions - so why would he be right to play in Indian conditions (in the first game over Naik) three years later on a slow low pitch and given his slowness in the field and limited batting ability?. Also very problematic for English sides cos of lack of time for preparation etc - tho' this didn't seem to impact on an under-strength Somerset.

I would also think that the atmosphere for Leics would have been difficult with a number of key players on the way out of the club.

It's a big ask for the powers that be to Grace Road to assemble a squad for next season to match even the 'strength' of this season.
