Bit of fight from palladino & Olivier at the end, but some serious questions need to be asked. 

Other than Slater, that was really poor from the batsmen. But there’s not a lot of options other than bringing in Hosein, but that still leaves the number 4 position being a big problem.

im not convinced by Godleman as captain, doesn’t seem much of a motivator and not great tactically either

The squad is woefully short of batsmen, without Reece & Wilson.

A loan move for a number 3/4 is required at the very least.

Otherwise: Slater, Godleman, Kettleborough (needs must), Madsen, Critchley, Brodrick, Hosein (wkt), Viljoen, Rampaul, Davis/Qadri, Olivier

Just noticed while looking at the seconds last game, Chesney Hughes is back at club. Could be worth a punt, exciting batsmen on his day.

Couldn't do much worse than the current lot could he!

Now then OOE... Hughes out for 4 & 4, Smit out for 0 & 1... I think we can safely say that my original comment about this useless pair blocking the younger and more talented Harvey Hosein's pathway well and truly stands.

No problem with that but he was injured for this game. He's probably pleased he was?

Remember his big double century against Yorkshire a few years ago, thought he’d kick on after that, but it never really happened. I recall he had some injury problems.

but he has 10 first class centuries and an average north of 30. Don’t think he played much for northants last season, and hasn’t been playing this season so perhaps will need a bit more game time for the seconds.

woukd definitely utilise hiM for the T20 because he can strike a ball and be explosive, something we seriously lack.

Hosein in the side to face Glamorgan, Wilson back as wicket keeper, so Hosein picked as a batsman. Qadri playing as well

Thank F for that.

Hosein will be opening, tough gig for a kid who is normally a wicket keeper/middle order bat.

Yeah raised an eyebrow at that, even more that it suggest Godleman going down to 5 and leaving Hughes at 4.

Glamorgan 283

Derby 207/3

A welcome return to form for Alex Hughes, let's hope he can take it on further tomorrow.

Looks a much better balanced team compared to the last game, with batting down to 7 (Critchley/Wilson) 3 seamers and 2 spinners (offie & leggie).

Everyone chipped in so far, Hughes finding some form is good news. In a good position, but we were in the last game so I’ll not get to excited yet.
