The definitive example of a game for hooligans, played by hooligans. Don't know the game,but judging by your description,I'd say a definite no. You could easily catch a good hurling game by throwing "All Ireland Hurling Final" into you tube,and take your pick of the year.All you really need to know is that it's 3 points for a goal,and 1 for anything above the bar and within the extended uprights....then sit back and enjoy.Believe me,there's a hell of a lot of skill involved in that game,and it's often pretty exciting.Might even watch one myself now.

sage Posted July 5, 2017 Share Posted July 5, 2017 I went today. It was lovely at Chesterfield in the sunshine and looking around the crowd I felt young again (in comparison). Hughes played well as did Reece. I think we are going to need to spin them out to win tomorrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Wright's been so successful coaching Mumbai Indians in the IPL, it's brilliant that he's helping Derbyshire in the T20 format of the game. Didn't know that Corky was involved though.

Think it was Mark Butcher mentioned on commentary that his knee was heavily strapped in the warm up, so I still don't think he's 100%. He's bowled fairly well in the previous t20 games to be fair. Matt Henry is a bigger concern, as the front line overseas bowler, he keeps going round the park. To be fair to him, he keeps taking the last over where you expect the batsmen to come after you, but we need an it more from him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Henry is only here for the 20/20....Viljoen is here for the season and beyond and was supposed to replace the wickets that Footit gave us, was going to help us bowl teams out and win matches. Far more of a concern for me..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Far more of a concern for me..... Viljoen won't do much in the championship I'm afraid, and to be honest neither are Derbyshire this season. He will be seen as a dud signing unless he plays his part in getting us through the group in the t20, quarter finals should be a realistic aim now.

Zag zig Posted July 21, 2017 Share Posted July 21, 2017 What a thriller that was. Gutted that little bit of bowling indiscipline did for them, the extras really count in 20/20. 7 balls made all the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah just said that to my mate who was at the game and is a big Notts fan, we lost it with the extras. Great effort from the batsmen though.
