That guy must stalk me here and steal my comments!

Hello Rumdoodled, fancy seeing you here.

You can probably guess who I am on the Grauniad.

Oh , Eckersley gone too, great.

I think he might have been released, actually. Still sucks.

With Raine effing off to Durham too, it’s just another pointless season. Take a step forward, all the players responsible for that step just move on. Club continues as a retirement home. Bring on the Hundred franchises and shoot Leics in the head. There’s no reason for them to exist.

Wow, I’m shocked.

Notts poaching a player from Leics? Who saw that coming?

I was going to comment on the sheer improbability of how Lancs had built a 100 run opening partnership in their first innings on Monday. I didn’t as I was worried about jinxing them. I needn’t have bothered. Lancashire’s batting has been appalling this season. Boo.

Crying In The Chapel might be a suitable refrain for Leicestershire and Lancashire fans alike today, albeit for different reasons.

Fact of the day – Glen Chapple was 22 when Zak Chappell was born. Zak Chappell is now 22 himself.

I don’t get it, Mike. How will you doing more work shift the balance? Wait a second, are you the formless curator that permeates all pitches that one hears a lot about? I am pretty sure I saw a Japanese movie with that theme.
