Leicestershire aim for five in a row Leicestershire CCC - 3 August 2002
Leicestershire will be looking to boost their Norwich Union League title hopes with their fifth victory in a row at Edgbaston on Sunday. Their four-match winning streak includes a four-wicket success over the Warwickshire Bears at Grace Road three weeks ago, and coach Phil Whitticase is looking for his side to complete a memorable double. He said: "We have got our act together again in one-day cricket, and this run has given us real a chance of challenging for the title. "We are in a good position and this is a big game for us. We have won four in a row while Warwickshire have lost their last four.If we can win this one we will be right up there keeping the pressure on Worcestershire, who we have to play in the final match of the season." The Foxes have named an unchanged 12 for the game with batsman Rob Cunliffe standing by to come into the side. There are slight doubts about Phil Whitticase and Matt Whiley but both are expected to be fit. The Leicestershire 12 is: Wells(captain), Ward, Sutcliffe, Stevens, Bevan, DeFreitas, Burns(wicket-keeper), Maddy, Crowe, Grove, Whiley, Cunliffe. © Leicestershire CCC
