It will be interesting to see what they do in their innings. The County Ground appears to be even flatter than usual today as well. Leicestershire are cruising.

Yes, I think I am right in saying that Dent has won every toss so far and put the opposition in which flies in the face of conventional wisdom. The only thing I can think is that they are trying to create a run chase in the second innings, considering they have been more successful in one day cricket in the last couple of years, it would seem a reasonable tactic. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Win the toss, bat first only really applies on flat tracks with a clear forecast, though. I thought the decision to put Leics in yesterday was a good one, on a green pitch and under cloudy skies. We didn't bowl well, though, and spilled too many catches. I suspect there might be a bit of complacency creeping in as Leics are poor.

ralphindevon Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Another thrilling finish at Taunton and other grounds. I love the County championship so much, can't wait to get back.

The vast majority at the county championship games are likely to be fully vaccinated ! It really is the craziest of all the fans at sporting events rules. I’m in the draw for the restricted crowd for the next game 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, they actually require 19 runs . And would you believe it? Somerset could have won already, but NO! They had to go off for lunch and now it has started raining and the covers are on!

bearded_red Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 Can’t think there have been too many batsmen on their first class debut that have looked as assured as Goldsworthy has in both innings here. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tin Posted May 2, 2021 Report Share Posted May 2, 2021 (edited) Great win for Glos, great partnership from Lace and Cockbain. But my goodness, Leicestershire are shit. To concede 39 extras (almost 11% of the chase target) tells its own story. Edited May 2, 2021 by tin 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
