At the halfway point Northants needed 140 with only 5 wickets left. To be fair Northants bat deep, and it was pretty comfortable really, it’s the fact I t’s derbyshire you’re expecting them to rooster it up ?

eddie Posted July 19, 2018 Share Posted July 19, 2018 Fat Bob was saying that par was about 200, so Derbyshire did pretty well in both departments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted July 19, 2018 Author Share Posted July 19, 2018 Good win. It might have all been a bit different if we had of had Reece and Santner….. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Championship game being played at Chesterfield against Norhants. not started well at all, Slater (0) Godleman (10) Madsen (11) Hughes (12) all gone cheaply, Hosein into the 30s has at least got us going. Ferguson not playing due to NZ cricket not wanting him over played, Rampaul also not playing, so young lads Wheeldon & Qadri with a lot to do, especially as a big score from us looks very unlikely.

jimbo jones Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 260 all out half centuries from Hosein & Wilson and 30s from Critchley & Wheeldon at least got us a couple of batting points. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Absolutely nip-and-tuck game now. Wickets have been falling in twos and threes all day, then a half-century partnership, then another bunch of wickets. When Northants reached 50-0 off 8 overs, I feared the worst - in steps Tony Palladino with two wickets in his first over after changing to the Pavilion end (I used to love bowling from that end too. It's not much of a slope, but I always found the lake duck pond end a bit of a slog. Great day of cricket all round - hopefully tomorrow is as good.

jimbo jones Posted July 22, 2018 Share Posted July 22, 2018 Game finally poised, great to see Palladino still doing the business ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Northants go past 260 with 7 wickets down. Century from Captain Alex Wakely has been the difference. A lot riding on how quickly we get these last 3 wickets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Couple for Palladino and one for Critchley, and Northants 289 all out with a very slight lead, games still in the balance ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 Another fantastic day's cricket. The game looked to be tilting in Derbyshire's favour after tea, with Madsen and Slater both approaching half-centuries but both became becalmed. Slater, Hughes and night-watchman Wheeldon all went in the space of half an hour, so the familiar pattern for this game is still being followed. It seems to be a wicket that offers batmen a bit of a challenge to actually get in. At the close, Derbyshire lead by 118 with six wickets in hand. A target of 250 will not be easy (somebody slip something in Alex Wakely's tea). It was also bloody hot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If the tail wags a bit and we can set them 250 plus we are in with a shout..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Excellent first session, Madsen & Hosein batting through most of it before Hosein fell for 38. Madsen 9 runs away from a century and Critchley up to 23 already. 249-5 leads at 220 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 313 the lead, 116 for Madsen and 51 for Critchley and then a nice cameo of 23 from Viljoen including a couple of sixes to push the lead comfortably past 300. tea being taken before Northants come out to bat.

Carnero Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Over to the bowlers. I think we'd have took this position at every point of the game so far. Let's hope Viljoen can keep his radar on course and not quickly turn this 313 into 250. Palladino and the spinners likely to be key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Couple of early wickets, Wheeldon & Qadri getting them. Good that the young lads have stepped up early, now need something from the 2 senior bowlers....please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 24, 2018 Share Posted July 24, 2018 Faded badly in the last couple of hours - far too many four balls, but Northants rode their luck too with a few edges not going to hand. Early wickets tomorrow morning are key - a couple in the first 10 overs and it's game on again, but Northants definitely on top now. Wakely looking so assured again - he has been the difference between the two sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Watched the “highlights” on Facebook this morning. Critchley so unlucky to be run out, at the non strikers end and the ball deflected off the bowler from the batsman’s shot, with Critchley moving forward and out his crease. Such a shame as he was looking good. need a quick 2 or 3 wickets to stand a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
