There might be quite a few Leics threads while I am around!

Anyway, it has been announced that HD Ackerman has stood down as Foxes captain, a decision not especially surprising given rumours of dressing room strife during last season. He is now looking forward to focussing on his batting this season.

The new captain is, somewhat surprisingly, Jeremy Snape. I say surprisingly mainly because Snape has barely played a first class match in 2 seasons, having been viewed as a one day specialist.

Good luck Snapper!

S'funny Clobber , he's in the studio here in SA commenting on todays Aus vs SL match - he didn't mention anything about Leicester at all!

Let's hope he bats like we know he can - he's a good player!

how old is he? to be honest i think they need a more experience but as i live in leicester i hope he does well. It's also that we have the coach. Duncan fletcher really rates him.
