jimbo jones got a reaction from Reggie Greenwood in Derbyshire CCC - Mickey Arthur Appointed
200 for Reece and a club record opening stand of 360, beating the previous record held by Reece and Godleman - and it's time for handshakes.
The pitch situation does need looking at (across the whole country) but we put them into bat because the best time to bowl on these pitches is Day 1, and then bowled like a bunch of puddings. After the first day there’s just nothing there for the bowlers, and unless you give your wickets away like we did yesterday, you shouldn't be in any danger.

Century for Harry Came, second of the season, and second of his career 👏

Make that 200 run partnership…

Second century of the game for Luis Reece 👏
Exciting news (for me at least 😂) the Glamorgan commentator confirmed what I thought, that David Lloyd was a middle order batsman that moved up because they were struggling for an opener, and that Lloyd’s best position is batting at 5 or 6. I'd like us to keep the current openers who are playing well together.

Well played, Luis. Harry tried very hard to run him out an hour ago, but the cover point fielder was asleep.
Not letting the Memsahib go for a wee today until the luncheon interval.

Not covered themselves with any glory. I honestly thought that these capitulations were a thing of the past - and now I've run out of beer.

Glamorgan have had a third man in basically all innings who has saved loads of runs. I already like David Lloyd 😄

The group I was sat with at the match today said exactly the same thing
Today was an hard watch again we really need to get a bit of spice into the wicket

95-0 at tea
The only difference between the two bowling attacks is Glamorgan have at least been able to keep the run rate down.

Yeah if we cant take wickets, we need to slow the scoring rate, it seems every game the opposition are flying along at close to 5 an over. We can't even bowl tight to try and force a mistake.
Glamorgan have declared at 500 and plenty. Now we have to match them and see if they want to set up a run chase.

I don't mind when it's Derbyshire piling on the runs 😂 but yeah it's not great. Scores of 250-300 make for a much more interesting game.
Our bowling hasn't been great this season, which doesn't help either. There’s also been some odd decisions like not letting Scrimshaw near the new ball and barely bowling Thomson today.

I enjoy going to all forms of cricket (except the 100) but the county championship games at Derby are an hard watch at the minute the balance isn’t right between bat & ball. Luckily I know enough people down there to talk crap with and say how much better it was in my day when Fred Trueman used to bowl 500 overs a day without a break 😀

This is the guy who bowled a couple of deliberate no-balls in a test at Lords. I was actually there when it happened, although we had no idea at the time. You can't see no-balls from the stands, at ground leven,behind the wicket! My mate pointed out that the score had gone up by one so we assumed there'd been a no-ball, never realising the eventual implications.
Seems a changed character but it was reported at the time that he was from a poor famliy in some village and the few thousand quid he was offered was life-changing. Who are we to judge.
Good luck to him, hope he socks it to 'em.

408-6 at close.
500 seems to be a par score at Derby at the moment. Batting last and hoping for a generous declaration seems to be the best hope of a win.

They seem to be leaving more and more grass on the pitch each game to try and spice it up, but it’s not making much difference. Some very ordinary bowling hasn’t helped either.

Need to prepare the pitch for an equal battle between bat and ball….these batter friendly pitches on the whole don’t make for good cricket. In terms of next season, Patel as a spinner/all rounder would be good 😊

On the radio last night Mickey Arthur also said that they'd be bring in a top level batsman to replace Du Plooy.

Looking forward to next season…
The team as it stands…
Harry Came
Luis Reece
Brooke Guest
Wayne Madsen
David Lloyd (C)
Matt Lamb
Anuj Dal
Zak Chappell
Mohammad Amir
Sam Conners
Pat Brown
Obviously room for another overseas, and we currently don’t have a spinner.
Ben Aitchison is the only other notable player I can see that is still contracted for next season.
A couple of pathway project players to keep an eye on are Yousaf bin Naeem and Harry Moore. Both have impressed playing in the ECB super fours playing for the Midlands team - particularly bin Naeem who looks a player. Hoping he gets a run out during the one day cup.

Amir signed as an overseas player for the first half of next season. Wonder if they are hoping he will have his citizenship for the second half? No idea how that all works to be honest.
