Loughboro Uni first-class match

[glyn]

Don't know whether to laugh or cry with our batting. We were 6-3 and 62-4 with our top 3 being
Cobb 0
New 1
Du Toit 0

Then a 330 run partnership at about 5 an over for James Taylor and Shiv Thakor rescued the day, declared on 446/6. Taylor hit 237, his third double ton in three years and Thakor hit a first-class ton on debut.

These matches really shouldn't count as first class.

Thakor first Leicestershire born player to score a ton a his debut. I agree this should not count as a first class match.

The top end batsmen haven't played a first class innings yet this year.

I bet Josh Cobb agrees after scoring 4 in two innings!

Match drawn with the uni 159-6 chasing loads. I'm sure we could have taken another hour of play to finish it off but obviously not that bothered about the win!

Loughborough were in big trouble but Taylor got a ton for them this afternoon.

Some easy runs for Du Toit and New this morning

He has to go back to school soon! But available on Sunday and next championship match. Get him in I say.
