Leicestersaint Posted 9 June, 2014 Share Posted 9 June, 2014 Heavy weather down at Worcester (in every sense). Looking like a draw - or at least very tricky for us to win. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Stickman Posted 10 June, 2014 Share Posted 10 June, 2014 With next to no chance of winning this game any adverse weather could, for the first time this season, actually do us a favour –albeit at the expense of denying us possible batting points. If we get a full day’s play then I reckon today could turn out to be pivotal for our Div 2 campaign: we need our batsmen to show some solid application – this is exactly the kind of situation for which we signed Smith. Worcs have turned out to be a much better team than I anticipated pre-season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestersaint Posted 10 June, 2014 Share Posted 10 June, 2014 164 for 5 - now pinning hopes on a big score from Vince and a few to hang around with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestersaint Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Will we avoid defeat? I see that Briggs came in as our night watchman. I didn't know he had that role - hopefully he will score 50 this morning while Carberry will make a ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Stickman Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Weather looks okay, so I’m anticipating a long day of struggling against Saeed Ajmal’s off spin, I’m afraid - still, a chance for our chaps to show their mettle! I will be very happy if we manage to save this match. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 117 for 3 now - still 66 behind them. Carberry doing Ok but failures for Vince and Smith. We will do well to get a draw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Halo Stickman Posted 11 June, 2014 Share Posted 11 June, 2014 Excellent last day battling performance. Great to see Carbs and Maxwell in the runs, with Ervine and Bates seeing us safely home. Very pleased with that! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 13 June, 2014 Share Posted 13 June, 2014 Why no sign of Briggs in today's T20 blast?? Anyone know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 13 June, 2014 Share Posted 13 June, 2014 Zummersett 103 for 1 after 13.1 - looks like they will post a big score. Ervine is looking a bit expensive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 13 June, 2014 Share Posted 13 June, 2014 We need 38 off 16 balls with 3 wickets left. Poor display - we let them score too many and surprisingly put them in after winning the toss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 13 June, 2014 Share Posted 13 June, 2014 Valiant effort by Wheater and Smith but we left ourselves too much to do and lost by one run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 Just skittled Essex for 121 (from 69-2) in their first innings in the LV= game, a first innings lead of 165. Abbott with 5-44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not made them follow on though, perhaps we're expecting the pitch to degrade or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 And we seem to be making heavy work of it, Hants 22-2 after about 12 overs, hope we'll not regret not making them follow on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 Recovered a bit now, 78/2... 25 off the first 15 overs, 53 off the next 10, Vince with 41 off 46 balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 And now 129/2 at tea. Much better, plenty of time to hopefully, steadily, build up an unassailable lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Stickman Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 So Essex 122 all out, Hants 24/2, 10 wickets fallen in a couple of hours, Vince comes to the wicket and scores a century at better than a run a ball! What a player! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 218/2 now, Vince 132* Smith 52*, gone off for bad light with a lead of 383. We really should win this game now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leicestersaint Posted 16 June, 2014 Share Posted 16 June, 2014 Will we get a bowl at them tonight? Where is all the good weather the forecasters promised? Why didn't we make Essex follow on? Why isn't Vince playing for England? So many questions ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weston Saint Posted 16 June, 2014 Author Share Posted 16 June, 2014 Why did we not put them back in! The wicket is not going to get better. It is a dry wicket and Hants did not fancy last use with so much time available. The fact we are 264-2 vindicates with 2 days to go in good weather. That from our 1st team coach. Why is Vince not playing for England! Well he is disappointed he was not included in the ODI squad at least. That from his father Time and weather on our side. We should beat them. Fantastic bowling from our strike bowlers this morning. Briggs is now a Dad. Stanley Robert Briggs born today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Moving on fairly rapidly this morning, 310-2 as I type, Smith approaching his ton, Vince 182* at a rate of more than a run a ball still. Let them get their ton and double ton respectively, push the lead over 500 and declare just before lunch I reckon? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minty Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Vince reached his 200 (203* to be precise) off exactly 200 balls. That's a nuts run rate for a 4 day game... and since then he's moved on to 226* off 212 balls. Crazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Halo Stickman Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Vince out for 240; that’s 1046 county championship runs for him this season – first county player to pass the 1000 run mark this year in both Div 1 and Div 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Window Cleaner Posted 17 June, 2014 Share Posted 17 June, 2014 Time to declare 1 think, over 600 ahead, doesn't make any difference if we set them 600 or 800 really. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berkshire Saint Posted 28 June, 2014 Share Posted 28 June, 2014 Was there tonight. We batted poorly but thought we might have half a chance of defending 130 as the pitch seemed pretty slow and was turning a bit. Changed into an absolute road once Roy got a bat on it though...

Halo Stickman Posted 6 July, 2014 Share Posted 6 July, 2014 (edited) 116 all out chasing 155, what the f*cking hell was that all about? Inept batting. By the way, can anyone tell me why Owais Shah is no longer featuring for us in the T20 – we could certainly have done with his experience today.

Yeah I agree, surley Wheater for Bates, and switch Shah for Ervine as Ervine isn't going to bowl anyway. (actually I'd switch Shah for Maxwell, but that won't happen) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought it was his fault but the Sky pundits seemed to be implicating Carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leicestersaint Posted 7 July, 2014 Share Posted 7 July, 2014 We seem to have gone to pieces - fist yesterday against Somerset and now today in the CC - some very sloppy batting. They all need a right rollicking! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
