Living on borrowed time, season over etc etc

2-0 up away from home. An excellent hangover cure!
Would be good to see Washington get one today, to get him off the mark.

Batsmen are all getting a start then getting out 
4 down we need madsen to stay in and others bat around him we’re up with the rate just need a big partnership 

333-8 Durham
The type of score our batting line-up needs to be able to chase down. Madsen playing will help, but it won't be easy.

A much needed and very convincing win.
I've said before, ideas that we were ready to kick on and compete for silverware after last season were very premature. However, there's plenty of ability in the squad with the bat, and scores of 350 should be attainable - should have got that today if needed.
The bowling needs to greatly improve for us to win consistently, which is why Amir and Brown have been signed. If we can get a good front line spinner as well, we will look a different team.
Today, Lakmal was more like the test bowler we was hoping for, fingers crossed he can stay fit and get into rhythm. Playing all 3 spinners is definitely the way to go. There will be a game all 3 get smashed around the park, but we are more likely to win games with all three playing I reckon.

A very enjoyable day at Derby today. 600 runs and a Derbyshire victory, and I didn't run out of beer either.

Great win. Reece and Came are in incredible form at the moment.  Happy days.

I think we have this one in the bag.

Met him the Yard and then took him to the back of the South and then of course into the concourse for a pre match warm up..
Never known so many fans want a photo with him haha!
Really nice chap and was lovely to spend some time with him talking about Seoul and Derby..
By god he can drink as well! Think he enjoyed it though and it was lovely to see him hopefully get a good impression of our fanbase and the culture.

I don't knowbut he knows the cure! 
 

Not happy about this….
Was relying on him posting vids of the goals, as I'm on my holidays. Though that might not be a problem…

All back here on Wednesday for the next bout of misery? 😕

We should have scored at least 330 from where we were after 30 overs but our bowling attack is so weak I don’t think we would’ve defended that. Glamorgan strolled to 300 I think our best chance is to actually win a toss and bowl first at least then we know what we’ve got to score, anyway I’ll be back Wednesday probably after the rams have been knocked out the league cup 😀

This boy looks a talent and I've started keeping a close eye on him. Scored a half century in every game for the Midlands team as they went unbeaten and won the super 4’s tournament last month, already has some runs under his belt for the seconds, and he's only 17.
Hopefully he doesn't bugger off to Kent or somewhere next season 👀

Certainly from what I've heard, Arthur wants all format players. Basically we can't afford to pay big money for players who are just going to play in the T20 and he's earned that money from the past 2 seasons performances.
Scrimshaw has the ability to play red ball cricket, but history says not the fitness.
Pat Brown always felt like his replacement.

To be fair, we were really good before Arthur came in…🤔

It’d help if we’d occasionally win the toss, whatever the conditions we need to bowl first then see if we can chase 450 down 😂
