    Century for Dal, who has at least made it respectable, great effort from Conners to stay with him to.
    First century of the competition, which kind of says it all.

    Good to see a couple of the middle order showing a bit of fight. 
    166-8, Watt just out for 16.

    Haider Ali has 2 ways of getting out. Playing across line and getting lbw, or hitting a 6 and then putting the next ball straight up in the air.
    Guest was unlucky, looked like he got one that kept low, the rest of the dismissals have been pretty poor cricket.

    It's been a tough watch on occasions. We have beer though, which helps.

    Looking forward to it tomorrow. My fifth time at the county ground this season and yet to see a win. To be fair I did spend a period of nine years without seeing them win once so I can take 5 games 😂

    Victory.
    A match-winning 63 not out from Matt Lamb, how I wish we had more opportunity to see that this season. Hopefully his back problems are behind him, but I thought I saw a few suspicious stretches and winces during his innings. Maybe im just being paranoid…

    I forgot we were playing and turned on at 80-4. Really enjoyable and tense watch. Lamb and Guest set the victory up well. Happy days. Look forward to Tuesday now. 😎

    Waggy goal resulting from a Connor H tackle. Cue silence from certain corners of the forum

    Probably, we won 6 games in the T20, add the one from the one day cup and I'm sure we’ve won less than 7 a few times post-2000
    The really disappointing thing is I honestly believe we've got a good squad of players (though the bowling outside of T20 has looked weak) but it's just not worked this season.
    Plenty of draws in the championship as well, my maths says 15 defeats all together, time to add to that of course 😬

    On Sunday Derbyshire Disabled CC are playing Warwickshire in the Midlands Final at Melbourne CC at 1pm. 
    I will be managing, captaining and keeping badly.
    We are massive underdogs but all spectators are welcome. (they have a bar and a viewing balcony)

    I enjoyed Lakmal’s innings. Just needed 6 more overs of it 😂
    I find the cricket less stressful than football. No expectations, sunshine and beers 🍺 
    One day the city of Derby will see some sort of sporting success! One day.

    Reece out for 96, seem to have loads get out in the 90’s this season….
    145-2 to 169-7 pretty much sums up this competition.
    The decision to have Wood come out at 3 was odd, he struggled badly and took away all the momentum Reece and Came had built. Once we got behind the run rate we crumbled.

    It’s difficult to tell from where I am sat whether this is atrocious bowling or sublime batting but it’s getting embarrassing.

    Has anyone pitched "The72" to the ECB?
    After all, no one has wanted to franchise the hundred format and by making it 72 balls you make it "more exciting" and it's "innovative" because it's not T20 but best off all itd give the ECB another go at killing off the country game.

    Clowes didn't want to own Derby and stepped up to save us against his own better judgement. I'm genuinely a bit embarrassed that in just over a year some are ready to start blaming him for things. Good grief.

    Agree. I think one of the main issues is the deafening music culminating in the last 💩song played at the end of half time. No point starting trying to sing anything in the build up to whistle and get atmosphere going as couldnt hear anything. So no atmosphere before start of each half.
    I like the drum but it seems to work best to start singing in the lulls or quieter games as it doesnt allow the crowd to dictate the singing based on events on pitch as one person or a small group chooses the song. Last night until depression kicked in across the ground was much more natural singing with no drum but when it falls flat drum great to start it up again. Could the drum be in the gap at bottom of South west corner never sold? 
     
    while we're on it the spirit in sky song is not catching on at all. Like the sentiment but so dreary and too complicated. Sounds like bunch of drunk relatives sat in a corner at a wake. (Actually apt last night thinking about it.) Totally agree with second para from @jimbo jones. Simple to pick up short songs by far best. Know I bang on about it but the sammie winnall song totally perfect or osula one. And why do they always have to have the F word in? Not a prude at all but seriously?

    AGREE! Then players cocks came along....
    Saddens me to say but I find the younger generation dont like the original club songs like We are Derby etc .. Kind of feels that they need to sing all this European lark all the time.. Don't get me wrong there is a place for some of them songs but sure we can all agree old school songs about your club are the best.

    Madsen is back getting splinters up his bottom at Old Trafford….what a waste 🤦‍♂️
    So Dal is back in the team as the only change, as we go to Edgbaston to play Warwickshire, who have not only won all 4 games so far, they have thrashed everyone.
    The good news, they were equally dominant in the T20 and we beat them twice, when they only lost 3 games. Hopefully we can continue to be a bogey team for them 🤞
