There will be plenty of takers at other counties. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Play delayed due to damp outfield, inspection at 11. Looking at the forecast in Leicester, it's chance of light showers all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only watched the first session and we bowled ok, a few edges that went safe, but we really don't look like bowling a team out any time soon.

Henrycav81 Posted April 13, 2023 Share Posted April 13, 2023 Close of play Leicestershire 243-2 i had high hopes this season and I know it’s only early and pre season was disrupted, but having attended last weeks game and watched some of today’s play I feel our attack lacks a bit of variation sage 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted April 15, 2023 Share Posted April 15, 2023 No play again today. Safe to call this one a draw. Just a question of whether there's any play tomorrow so we can play for some bonus points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 There's cricket and we have a bonus point 🙌 Dal gets Ackerman lbw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 First over with the new ball from Chappell Play and miss - inside edge misses stumps - play and miss - edge to second slip It's doing all sorts 👀🤣 To be fair, Chappell has bowled well and had no luck until that point.

jimbo jones Posted April 16, 2023 Share Posted April 16, 2023 Mark Watt bowling with the new ball gets one to turn and bounce and Madsen has another catch at slip. Too early to pretend I know what I'm talking about? 🤣 Good bit of captaincy to be fair, Watt wasn't getting anything from the old damp ball.

jimbo jones Posted April 17, 2023 Share Posted April 17, 2023 Is this like Mickey giving the bowlers detention? I thought Chappell bowled well yesterday, being asked to bowl a lot of overs. He has 10 of the 19 wickets that have gone to bowlers, so he's doing his bit, now he needs some support. Conners, Aitchison, and Lakmal in the first game have been very disappointing. Too wayward with line and length, too expensive and not enough wickets. Wouldn't be surprised if all 3 are playing for the seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
