Derbyshire doing their very best to offset the doom and gloom of being a Derby County fan! 
What I most like about us under Masood is we never seem to panic, feels like we are playing the game the right way.
 

What a great night. Never been so hot down there. Took the boy for his first ever game as well and he loved it. Sunshine and sixes - wonderful. Madsen was brilliant tonight. That catch he took was superb as well, it was up in the air for 5 minutes! Great night. For a moment I forgot it was work tomorrow!

Just a brilliant evening out.

It is roasting! Normally need thermals down here. Come on Derbyshire

Real shame. Was shaping up to be a good game. That last over from Scrimshaw was superb. 

Great win! 
Enjoyed that. When we needed 1 with 6 wickets left I began to believe!

You’ve done some great posts over the last couple of days, I think you have hit the nail on the head succinctly and accurately. Welcome BTW. ?
 
As to the EFL, we differ. Whilst Mel shoulders the greatest responsibility for Derby’s debts I don’t see the EFL as a scapegoat. Quite the reverse. They have behaved appallingly for the last 2 years. Riven with self interest and pressure groups, cowardly over Borough and Wycombe. Plain biased when it came to the judgments of their own independent committees. The weasel statements over Covid loans, the passive hand washing acceptance of other clubs misdemeanours, truly dreadful. 
Their latest statement is much more logical. I really can see it from their view and they are probably right to say it for the good of the competition. Their past history though, is another story, an ugly one bereft of morality, decency, neutrality  and sportsmanship. 

McKiernan was superb. Runs. Wonderful bowling spell and what a catch after all those drops. Great start to the weekend. Shame about everything else really!

Good win. Masood was superb. 
Nice to see Hughes back as well, I think hers a very useful 20/20 player.

One thing I hope this game brings is a rethink with the bowling attack, not because of this game particularly, but I just don’t like the three “quick” bowlers. Hughes was really good last year taking the pace off with off cutters etc, or get an extra spinner with Thomson.

A good effort. Taking pace off the ball won it for them but to get over 200 chasing is no disgrace at all.

Typical Yorkshire arrogance being displayed by the BBC who probably had the match report already written. 
I like watching Derbyshire win, especially against test ground county teams who have everything weighted in their favour. Would be nice to get another today.

The kit certainly isn’t the worst thing in that picture!
