  1. New batting coach. I assume Ian Bell will no longer be “batting consultant” I believe the title was.
  2. Fixtures are out, start at home to Gloucestershire.
  3. Seems that the points for a draw is going back up to 8 next season. Always have to change something….
  4. Got an email today saying the fixtures will be released next Thursday.
  5. That's the possible team with the backups (for the championship), not only does the team look good, but there's plenty of depth. As for the overseas, a leg spinner who can also bat? A Mattie McKiernan replacement, but hopefully an upgrade. I think the batting is fine as long as Donald and/or Lamb play well. We need to find a way to take 20 wickets to win some games.
  6. Madsen has signed a new 2 year contract…hes going to go on forever 😄 Does make me feel a bit inadequate though, I'm a year younger than him and went for for an hour in the nets with my brother in the summer and was about dead after 10 minutes 😳
  7. Awful news 😔 Unfortunately, having a family member who spent their life battling health problems and passed away far too young is something I can sympathise with. Hopefully his family can see the impact he had on this community and that will give them some comfort in this incredibly difficult time. B4’s exhuberant optimism for the Rams can be repalced. RIP Daniel
  8. Says all formats on the write up on the club website.
  9. Honestly think the overseas makes all the difference. We got a mixed bag from Haider and almost nothing from Lakmal. Your overseas needs to be the players that turn all those draws into some wins.
  10. Great to see Dal get an extension, good all round cricket, good all round bloke. just what you want in the squad.
  11. Once it's turned toxic with the fans the way we have seen today, it's over.
  12. I've seen it suggested that Mickey Arthur has said the other overseas will be a bowler, but I can't remember seeing that.
  13. From the clubs website… “Patel, 38, will remain at The Incora County Ground until the end of the 2025 season, and will be available for all formats.” Mickey Arthur said he will primarily play T20 but is available for the championship. Having not played 4-day cricket for 3 years its probably a case of see how he goes. Listening to Samit’s interview, he seems a little irked at being discarded by Notts, so I expect him to be fired up for those games 😀
  14. None of the team played in the one day cup this season. Excellent preparation for a World Cup 🤔
  15. Noticed his younger brother plays for Hungary, probably tapped him to do him a favour and win a game for them…
  16. I remember Hungarian heritage of some sort being the reason he was able to play county cricket as a “local player”.
  17. Anuerin Donald signing has been confirmed. 2 year contract. Explosive player who could really benefit from settled regular cricket. Never played any red ball cricket this year, got a couple of centuries in the one day cup.
  18. I think Lloyd is the Du Plooy replacement and Donald the Haider replacement. Lloyd won't match Du Plooy’s runs, but hopefully will be a much better captain With Reece and Lloyd bowling options, I don't think you need Amir, Chappell, Conners, Dal, and Thomson all playing. I’d still like a quality overseas spinner if we can get one.
  19. Out of those 12, 8 are genuine bowlers, there’s a lot of different ways you can set a team up with those players. If Lamb is fully fit and bowling he has a better chance to be in the team, if not he misses out.
  20. It's hard to say without knowing who the other overseas will be, but I wouldn't be surprised if Guest goes down the order and Lloyd bats at 3 and Donald at 5.
  21. No, he's at Hampshire but hasn't been getting a game in red ball cricket. He's contracted until the end of next season, what I've heard is he wants to come, but Hampshire hadn't quite agreed to it yet. Lloyd is expected to be captain.
