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.

Wood for Madders, Scrimshaw for Potters…

I'll be on Radio Derby tomorrow at 9.05 talking about Derbyshire Disabled Cricket Club and doing their Twirdle Quiz (badly)
Luckily I have the face for Radio 

The club have confirmed that du Plooy is joining Middlesex at the end of the season.

If we got Samit that would be top banter. 

Thanks Michael 🐟

Already guilty of that after adding du Plooy to my cricket draft fantasy team, breaking my “no Derbyshire players” rule. They always have shockers/get injured when I put them in 😬

Tough one to call but if I had to put my mortgage on it…..I would go with the draw 😉

Durham finally bowled out for 575.
5 wickets for Conners.

I think our view George should have played has proven to be correct 😬

Start delayed due to rain, lots of rain forecast tomorrow. I'm more certain of a draw than @Jimbo Ram was last week 👀

Don’t tempt fate 🫣

Guest out for 197 😭
Trying to force the issue with only Nick Potts left for company. Deserved a double hundred.
443 all out
What can the bowling attack do against what has been an all-conquering Durham batting lineup this season.

Shame there's no double century but what a monumental effort from Guest, 197.

Lost the toss, inserted, 317-6 at the close - I'd say that was a pretty good performance.

317-6 at close
Brooke Guest still unbeaten on a career best 145, has played wonderfully well.

Back to back centuries for Brooke Guest, who’s return to form has been a massive boost.
Not great news about du Plooy.

Possibly to increase the scoring rate?

Du Plooy possibly unwell, in his tracks bottoms…

203-3 at tea
Madsen out in the 60s and strangely Haider Ali came out to bat at 5. Guest 87 not out.

Excellent session for Derbyshire, as they go past 200 for the loss of just 3 wickets. Raine and Potts impressive, but the rest of the Durham attack are not having a good day at the office.

Teams news just gone up on Twitter, Potts playing instead of Scrimshaw.
have to admit to being disappointed by that, I would like to know if it’s fitness related.
