Rain? The Garden of England, well the coastal bit anyway, has been basking in temperatures up to 23°C today. Not a cloud in the sky!!

It's warm and suny here at the moment. But the cricket is being played in Rutland, they have different weather there.

Out of our last 9 days cricket we've lost 5 completely to rain and 2 of them decimated in half!!

Maunders and Sadler both dropped....Maunders will really have to work for his contract this year. I think Sadler will be OK as he is an integral one-day player.

 

[flashyfox]

Leics going well now. 272-4. Nixon 68* and Allenby 92*

Should have kept my mouth shut. Allenby out for 93. 286-5

 

[fox58]

364 all out Nixon and Allenby both out in the 90's

 

[glyn]

OUr batsmen really get nervous in the 90s don't they...New, Allenby and Nixon all have top scores in the 90s in the championship now.

good start in the Notts innings, reducing them to 60 odd for 3 but Fleming and David Hussey in now. I predict a 150 run partnership with the game resulting in a draw. I of course hope I am completely wrong.

 

[fox58]

notts declared 102-3 were 4-0 i would think we will slog a few to-night and set them a target to chase to-morrow

 

[fox58]

101-3 off 17 overs imo we will declare overnight leaving Notts 364 to win

I think we'll bat for about 30-45 mins in the morning. In this day and age 364 is too little, especially with our seam attack and them having Gallian, Fleming, Hussey, Read, Ealham

 

[glyn]

Well they batted on for another 14 runs or so!! Notts need 377 to win....by the way things have gone for the last 2 seasons they will get their with around 6 wickets to spare.

 

[fox58]

40-0 off 13 overs

Amjad could be the man to turn the game to-day although it's proberbly a tall oder expecting to bowl them out

 

[glyn]

No wickets before lunch. Is it too much to expect one of our many overseas/Kolpak bowling signing to put in a match-winning performance every now and again? Hasn't happened for about 5 years!

 

[glyn]

Not looking good. Another 100 runs needed with 3 wickets left. I make it that they had 75 overs plus the last hour (which is usually 16 overs) to score the runs, which leaves them with about 18 overs.

In one-day terms it's a doddle.

 

[flashyfox]

Looks like Hussey will see them home. Another defeat in the championship probably.

same old same old :icon_roll

 

[glyn]

Hussey's just gone though. I make it 65 off around 13. Read and Ealham could do it in 6!
