Leicestersaint Posted 6 August, 2008 Share Posted 6 August, 2008 206 for 7 at stumps. Could have been better - could have been worse. We need to win this one - but we've been saying that for weeks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevegrant Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 236 all out. Rudolph didn't add many from his overnight total. Once again, full bowling points (we've dropped one bowling point all season!). Now let's see if we can repeat the Kent batting performance and get a few batting points.

Leicestersaint Posted 7 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 7 August, 2008 Our batting this season has been very variable and the ditto for the bowling. However, I think our single biggest problem have been the number of catches we have dropped this season. Hows o-called professional cricketers can drop so many catches is beyond me.

saintwarwick Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 119/2 so making steady progress. If we can get past their total before stumps and pile on the runs tomorrow it will give us a chance to bowl them out for a second time, weather permitting of course (plus our ability to hold catches!).

stevegrant Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 We're looking reasonable so far, then. Even Ervine has hit some runs! Elsewhere, there's a ****ing weird game going on at Durham... Durham 146 & 108 v Kent 78 & 1-2 :shock: Could be some deductions there for Durham for a poor pitch given that 15 wickets went down on day 1 and 17 already on day 2!!

Leicestersaint Posted 7 August, 2008 Author Share Posted 7 August, 2008 It really is quite pathetic how often this happens! let's hope tha NP and DM can add 50 or so together. We are still 70 behind Yourkshire's modest score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bungle Posted 7 August, 2008 Share Posted 7 August, 2008 Thing is, with the exception of Benham, they all made starts. Also, 3 of them got past 40, which is perfectly acceptable. It's average, rather than bad, but we do need Pothas and Mascarenhas to get some extra runs for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fowllyd Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 I don't fancy a target of over 150! Know what you mean. Yorkshire's young leg-spinner took seven of our first-innings wickets, so I hate to think what he might do in the fourth innings if the pitch has worn further...

Fowllyd Posted 8 August, 2008 Share Posted 8 August, 2008 Good bowling, or are we likely to be getting a visit from an ECB pitch inspector like Durham did yesterday? Doubt there'll be the dreaded inspectors' visit, as both teams made half-decent scores in their first innings. The highest innings total in the Kent/Durham match was 146, and the game was all but over after two days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
