Who's Jimmy Anderson  ?

I take it that you’re not a cricket fan? Jimmy Anderson is the worlds highest wicket taking fast bowler with 626 wickets and a wizard at making a ball move in the air. You could argue that he is the greatest cricketer of all time if he could actually hold a bat. 

Liam Livingstone anyone? Not a test opener by any standard but wack 30 straight off in 20 min to give us a start and then let the cricketers have a go. My goodness, this is a good single malt. Don’t post anything that you’ll regret in the morning! Whoops!

In all of this, for the ‘fleeting’ supporter, there might be a team just 13 miles down the road that may be a division above us next season. What is the more attractive fixture: Derby v Fleetwood or Burton v Leeds?

What a horrible scorecard to look at. Extras is the 2nd best batter in the team! I was really looking forward to the cricket today after what’s been happening at Derby and then the Lions defeat. What a shambles! I might just give up on sport and become one of these Netflix people.

I think that Derbyshire T20 shirts often represent the Derby County original colours well.

This season’s away shirt is modelled on the iconic colours from the 1988/89 campaign under Arthur Cox, as the side finished fifth in the top-flight, and features a digital print of the Rams’ head emblazoned across the front.

What a load of old tosh! Nothing like the 88/89 kit and I must be colour blind or something as I cant see a rams head emblazoned across the front?‍♂️.

Each to their own but I don’t like that one bit. Really bland and the arms don’t sit right with me. Go a darker shade of blue if needed but then don’t add another bit at the bottom of the sleeve. The long sleeve version must be horrendous.

I’d quite like something similar to this one as a controversial 3rd kit:

A friend of mine who works with Umbro - the one who told me about the pink last year - has mentioned that the home kit has blue in it this year. He was very cagey, so no further details other that, but could it be back to blue shorts?

He also said that one of the two away kits was 'stunning'; the other one was a bit boring.

On behalf of B4 I asked if there was any pink involved and he said 'not in the outfield kits' - maybe a pink keeper's kit?

Right on both counts so far, I would say. I wonder what the ‘stunning’ third kit will be like?

When I was a pupil and didn’t have my kit, I had to do P.E. in my pants?

So yes.

Next season, back to size L hopefully.

I will do some charity raising with it but haven't fixed upon a cause or set it up yet. I'm up to doing regular 5k training runs with longer runs on Saturdays (up to about 5 miles right now). i might be slow, but i was built for comfort not for speed.

This is great! Fantastic success for you! I love hearing these kind of testimonies. I started running 3 years ago (along with a bit of gym and diet adjustment) and it’s done me the world of good. I went from 18 stone down to 12 stone and fitter at 50 than I ever was in my late 20’s/early 30’s. All the best in your continuing journey. Top job??

So instead of plain pink, we’re having pink (and orange) flowers instead ? ? ?

Who cares about the new kit, just ordered this beauty. ?⚽️?

Let’s just have this shirt this season. My worst ever day in football, wearing this one, when Steve Walsh committed GBH on Martin Taylor to cost us promotion. Fits in just right with how I feel about Derby now?.

Despite my misery, other than the Patrick and centenary shirts, I love this one.

I’m sure that, whatever the design is, it will be available soon to get some money in the coffers.
