Thanks. Hope it hasn't done too much damage to your promotion hopes and good luck on Saturday for finals day.
Very strange game with the third innings a complete anomaly.
I set off for the ground at lunchtime and by the time I got there 7 wickets had gone down!

BBC reporting Colly's retirement.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/45502164Ideal position for Colly would be to take over as chairman!- would imagine the novelty has now worn off for ITB and he'd gladly relinquish it.

It'll be interesting to see where he goes next! And also interesting to see who comes in as replacement. They'll not get a like-for-like replacement so I guess it'd just have to be an established middle order batsman who possibly could be captain if necessary.

According to cricinfo Scotland could be interested in him because they've just lost their coach.

I'll probably regret saying it but that looks fairly fragile ...cue the 500 first innings score!

Arshad's Leics career didn't last long.

Seems odd for them not to give him these last two games. Nothing riding on the results ... Or maybe he's injured again!

he always struck me as being more of a white ball player

Yeah, he had that incredible first season in the title winning year and looked like a world beater but that appears to have been a fluke as far as red ball cricket is concerned.

All those double wicket maiden's lulled us into a false sense of his abilities
