Crewton Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 When Brookes came on and started to put the ball in the right spot, the other bowlers seemed to take note and the whole attack improved markedly. I thought Reece also bowled well. The batting got a bit bogged down after tea, the quick loss of Ali and Guest rattling them a bit. A shame that Came didn't get his 50, but Madsen and Du Ploy settled things down again eventually. Leicestershire's appealing and celebrations were ludicrously OTT and borderline intimidatory.

jimbo jones Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 Got an hours play in before the rain came, and du Plooy and Madsen ticked the score along. Hopefully get on again in the afternoon....forecasr for tomorrow is horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had one eye on the cricket with no sound on whilst “working” and kept noticing the camera going to a rather menacing black cloud...then they were off...just when I was free to start watching properly 😟😂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 5, 2023 Share Posted May 5, 2023 3 wickets falling in a little 10 over session after tea. 326-7 - lead at 204, given the weather forecast tomorrow, no point messing about, get them back in and try to bowl them out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Quick slog to get 350 and the declaration comes. A case of all eyes on the weather today to see how much play we get. Good news is the forecast looks good for tomorrow. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
