Perhaps this will persuade Billy G to move back to an opening slot where his limpet-like tenacity might come in useful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe but we still are 2 top order batsman short in my view... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's all very worrying. Never mine. The pyjama cricket is arriving to beam some sunshine into our lives. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Anuj Dal & Matt McMiernan have signed for the 20/20 and are In the squad for tomorrow. Both played a few games for the seconds on trial and impressed, seemingly Chesney Hughes didn’t. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 5, 2018 Share Posted July 5, 2018 Carnero is right, both seen as all rounders, I’d say they’d be picked as batsmen who can bowl a bit as well. a bit surprised godlemans not in the squad, he actually did well last year using his power at the top of the innings for a change.

CWC1983 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 I was holding off until Notts next week, but while the weather is so good Im going to take a wander down tonight for a spot of T20. Here's for an entertaining evening and a beer or 2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shows perfectly that without a couple of big hitters at the top of the innings, just like Livingstone for them, we are not going to post big enough scores to defend. This obsession with signing bowlers when we are crying out for a couple of big hitting batsman is going to cost us big time....really poor decisions at the top....

I don't think it will cost Derbyshire anything at all. There are probably only 1 or 2 weaker sides in any of the competitions - and just bringing in a couple of batsmen nobody else wants on money the club can ill afford is going to make that much difference. Anyway, being poor in general makes the rare victories so much sweeter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWC1983 Posted July 6, 2018 Share Posted July 6, 2018 Lancashire made that run chase look very easy. Some hitting by Livingstone. It was probobly the biggest crowd ive seen there and the various bars struggled to keep up as people doubled up because the queues were so long. Result aside, a good way to spend a Friday night, however im moving house in a couple of weeks and Grace Road will be my closest T20 ground.

jimbo jones Posted July 8, 2018 Share Posted July 8, 2018 130 odd for 9 ? Anuj Dal looked decent on his debut, but that’s a hopeless score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I went today and just got back home to sunny Shropshire. Batting very poor other than the young lad who showed the others how to do it. I thought the bowling was a lot better but the result was never really in doubt.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gap tooth ram Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Just off to watch tonight's game. Just hope we at least show some fight with both bat and ball. Here's hoping! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 13, 2018 Share Posted July 13, 2018 Notts 175-8 off 19 overs due to a bit of rain. stopped them getting 200 plus which is a start, still more runs than we’ve looked like scoring so far. Bit of quality from Madsen is required I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
