Yep pretty much agree with all of what's being said. It was major bat first conditions as it did appear as though the pitch was breaking up as we batted on it. You get games like this sometimes, people get in and get out. Definitely needed the extra bowler. Reminded me of the one day game we lost away at Leicester in 2019 where they batted first on a scorcher and racked up a sizeable total and we never really looked like chasing. Probably got 50 too many today. Lamb looks like somebody who hasn't really batted in a good while, he's getting bat on ball but his timing looks off, he did well in this comp last year though so should be persevered with. I think Rhodes has been OK, if you cramp him though he can't manufacture any room and rotate the strike, his get out is to try and go big. Leicester bowled well at him.

Leicestershire look a handy white ball outfit to be fair. Very close to making the knockouts in the T20, they were unlucky not too actually, and they've won 4 out 5 in this comp. It's no accident.

This outfield is absolutely scorched.

Only thing I can assume with Simmons is that he has been struggling for the 2's and the u18's lately.

Dont know, Pandya doesn't have much of a 4day record.

Excellent win and an excellent game. Beautiful weather.

Definitely a different game once the ball got older. It looked tough to bat at the end of our innings thought Currie took the pace off well. Burgess rode his luck and cashed in and Rob Yates List A record is looking particularly good right now. I thought Hamza Sheikh shaped up well, I liked his confidence.

Yeah Norwell looks a little awkward when bowling around the wicket but i guess he felt compelled to do it as Sussex had 5 left handers in their top 6. Credit to Garrett, he held his nerve well, there were several ropey deliveries being sent down though.

Maybe

Yeah good player, his bowling has dropped off a touch but his batting has improved massively. He might bat 6 for us.

A good day and obviously a good win. I still maintain the idea of outground cricket is better than the reality. Nice location but the facilities and viewing is never the best and they can be uncomfortable. The College Ground is a nice setting though I must say, it's definitely of the better outgrounds.

Very good point about the vibe being so upbeat and positive all game long amongst our guys. They had smiles on their faces from the get go and seemed to enjoy playing with one another.

Yates looked fantastic I thought and Sibley got better after an iffy start.

OHD, Norwell and Miles along with Bresnan were all injured for either the beginning or the entirety of this comp last year. Definitely make a difference having some experience in the line up.

Krunal was good and enthusiastic. Darted it in and looks a decent fielder too.

Outfield was rapid. Absolutely scorched.

Cheers

I despise it.

I'll ring em tomorrow. Its transpired I ain't working Tuesday so I'm gonna hopefully get a ticket and go.

Yeah eventually found it, cheers. Is there a way of getting a ticket without having to give my mobile number and home address...

Is this game sold out?

The crowds have been pretty decent thus far. As far as I can tell.

Matt Lamb lives!

Briggs form was struggling prior to that hand injury.

We won 4 out of the 6 games Stone and Woakes played, not having them available has been huge. Their impact, Stone in April and Woakes in September, along with the increased availability we had from Norwell last season cannot be overstated. Stone and Norwell also bolstered the tail whereas this we sometimes get 6 down and then all out very quickly unless McAndrew held an end up.

It may only have been 6 games but if they played zero games the outcome of last season is totally different.

It's difficult to pinpoint exactly where it's all gone wrong this season.

Has signed for the RLODC

Hose gone now...the exodus continues...

Kinda understandable, he's nowhere near the 4 day side and he's 30 in a few weeks so needs to be playing.

Does this match have List A status?
