Good fightback with the ball today after the batting collapse yesterday. Bit of a farce really with Leics playing a second XI.
Makes you realise why there were so many contrived finishes in the old 3-day championship, it's nearly impossible to get a win if the pitch is any good! It's certainly impossible to turn round a first innings deficit, unlike the 4-day matches.
I was wondering if the Simmons guy who made a ton is related to our own legend Phil....he is:
That helped to peg back the tourists after a century by Lendl Simmons, nephew of former Leicestershire favourite Phil Simmons, had put West Indies A in such a strong position in their reply to Leicestershire’s total of 205 all out.
