    Watched a bit of the livestream, which just happened to be when Matt Lamb was smacking the ball to all parts, eventually out for 90. Really hope his injury problems are behind him, fully fit he’d be like a new signing.

    My guess is it will be Thomson & Morley competing to play in the championship team and alongside Samit in the T20. Both will play in the one day cup assuming Samit is playing in the Hundred.

    Amir to miss the start of the season due to international call up…typical. All we need is a couple of injuries and my hope and enthusiasm will have dwindled considerably 🥲

    I hope we can kill the Amir deal. 6 T20 appearances is not an adequate contribution to a season. I'll happily accept an inferior quality player with more commitment.

    I'd like to see some real pace and bounce in the wicket this season.

    Interesting quote from Mickey Arthur in his preseason interview.
    “We’ve invested in our bowling attack and our batters are now at a point where they can play on any surface. I’m not suggesting we suddenly play on green tops, but we can trust Neil (Godrich, Head Groundsman) to give us the sort of pitch which, if we play well enough on it, will give us the opportunity to win games at Derby. Neil is one of us; he’s part of my team, and an important part.”
    Hopefully a bit more in the pitch for the bowlers this season, and some more interesting cricket at HQ.

    I don’t think we’ve won a Championship game at the county ground whilst Mickey Arthur as been head coach and I think we may have lost just one in that time. The wickets have been far to batter friendly it will be interesting to see the wicket when the season starts, I would imagine it’s been difficult for the ground staff with the amount of rain we’ve had this winter

    I’d imagine Tickner plays, and Donald will be in with a shout.

    “Tickner will be with Derbyshire from the start of the 2024 season until July 4, and will be available for a period which includes nine County Championship games, as well as eight Vitality Blast fixtures.”
    As suspected, I think it will be a number of overseas players in blocks throughout the season.
    I like the Tickner signing, made his international debut last year, and can bowl 90mph 😄
    Really boosted the bowling ranks with Amir, Chappell, Connners, Brown, Aitchinson, plus the medium pacers and spinners. We need to win games to challenge for promotion, and do that we need to take 20 wickeys, something we've rarely looked like doing the past couple of seasons.

    I just hope he is still sporting the fantastic mustache he had, after we lost Scrimshaw. Every cricket team needs a player with a quality mustache…
