Coach's Comments:
Great effort by the bowlers to have Leicestershire holding on for dear life at the end of the game. Dave was superb as he continues to find his stride in English conditions and bags another 5fer. The batting was really centred around one man - Gibbs N Smith. A second FC hundred at an appropriate time and his highest FC score to date. Note also of innings by StUEy and Craig as well as a composed not out by Zaid Ghansar. Great spirit in this one. It deserved a win.

Argh that final wicket was all we needed!

Fantastic batting by gibbsy, awsome knock that one. Craig and Stuey scored solid 50's in the second innings. Lots of starts in the middle order also.

On the scorecard it was a draw, in my mind it was a win for sure.

This is looking promissing for when we play England.

Keep it up boys

You don't even know that you'll be in the team yet, unless it's already been named and I've missed it.

I understand why I missed the game, as I've only just arrived on the tour.

CW 'A' v Leicestershire - OD

CRICKET WEB 'A' 165/3 30.0 overs
LEICESTERSHIRE 129/7 30.0 overs

Cricket Web 'A' won by 36 runs

Man of the match: StUEy

How OUT:
StUEy - played across the line.
Craig - lofted to longon.
Jason Toogood - not out.
Ian Markus - down the track and beaten by spin.
Deeps - not out.

Coach's Comments:
A rain-reduced 30-over game. In tough batting conditions, with a bit of swing in the air, innings from Toogood and StUEy built a good total, with Markus and Deeps playing a couple of cameos at the end. The bowling was always in control. Xavier Rose did the major damage, but no bowler was expensive and the wickets were shared nicely. 3 in 3 in the ODs.
