Leicestershire v Australians, ODD, Leicester, 21 June, 2012

Worth following, I guess.

Will channel seven be covering these ODIs as they did two years ago?

Or was it channel nine? I seem to remember the coverage being decidedly half arsed, and limited depending on whether there was a rugby league game/episode of three and a half men/my dancing chef rules on.

It would be like "Australia made 255 in their innings, now let's join the England innings. They are 160-4 after 30 overs...."

CA has Fox and ABC as broadcasters for the JAMODIs (and Fox only for the PaddyODI)

ABC? Interesting.

Ah, you mean radio?

Probably ...

rats....thought Frank Tyson and Colin McDonald were to do the broadcasts

Fox is doing some of the County T20s so you'd think they could have done the warm-ups.

Write them an angry letter ...

Red, if Sky isn't covering it, then Fox isn't covering it.

oz team not selected yet.....wonder if bung will play...still surprised that Twiggy is on the tour...hope to hell that pup does not overplay and burn out cummins and OP again

Hmmm, doubtful there'll be any play - well 40 miles from the ground it's shitting it down something awful with all-engulfing clouds so the likelihood is that it's the same there.

Quntish Pomgolian weather.

But will it rain?

Surely Australia will be undercooked come the first ODI?

Darn tootin... had Sat, Sun, Mon off - all days were grimmer than dogshit... nice times Tues and Weds and now apparently this shit is going to last until past monday again. What a qunt of a quntry.

We'll be hosting the first 'winter' summer olympics at this rate.

105/2 Warner 56*

For it being Leicester they've not picked much 2nd XI dross. Decent-ish attack...

Hmm, no Hoggard or Joseph, they're playing James Sykes as well.. not sure I'd call it full 'strength'. Of the worst county.

It's not full strength but considering most counties field an u-15 side these days its not bad.

And as I say that Sykes gets tonked for 2 sixes

Can it be a one-day "domestic" when one of the teams is from the other side of the world?

Pointless match. Definitely pointless for Leics - they knew they were abominable. Aus won't be helped by tonking this rabble.

Good. But we can always hope for some complacency and over-confidence. Not that it will make much difference.

Meh. It's 5 pointless ODIs. I hope England win as much as I hope Aston Villa win (the only Prem team I even take a meagre interest in).
