Was always looking like the spinners needed to do it, and when your spinners are 2 young lads, you wonder if they will be up to it. Once Qadri bowled out Wakely, Northants crumbled. 10 wickets and some runs in each innings for Critchley, man of the match performance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Don't ever let anybody tell you that the long version of the game is dead. The Memsahib and I watched every ball from start to finish, and it was just a brilliant game of cricket between two very evenly-matched teams. Big ups to Critchley in particular. He's a young leg-spinner, and consequently you are always going to get a mix good and bad while he learns his witchcraft, but full credit to him, and to Billy Godleman for keeping him going and not letting his head drop. Even when Northants got after him, he kept plugging away, always troubling the batsmen, and always with two or three men around the bat. Eventually it paid off, and with the departure of Alex Wakely, fifth out with the Northants total on on 224 when he was clean bowled by the effervescent Hamidullah Qadri, a Derbyshire win looked possible - if they could hold it together. That they did says a lot for their maturity, and massive credit to the coaching staff at Derbyshire. Matt Critchley is 21 and Hamidullah Qadri is just 17. They will have bad days, but today was special. Two spinners, both kids really, doing the business. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 Some interesting stats - before today, the last time a Derbyshire leg-spinner took 10 wickets in a match was in 1950 - that's even before I was born. Also, it was Derbyshire's first win at Chesterfield since 2008. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Critchley can bat as well, which will do his future England chances no harm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted July 26, 2018 Author Share Posted July 26, 2018 I see Chesney has just hit another big hundred for the seconds...why on earth don't we sign him up until the end of the season on a pay as you play basis??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carnero Posted July 26, 2018 Share Posted July 26, 2018 Nice to see Critchley, Hosein & Qadri contributing to this win. I was calling for Hosein & Qadri to play months ago........... The club should be making it a priority to tie these 3 + Slater to new contracts ASAP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix Posted July 27, 2018 Share Posted July 27, 2018 Would Qadri qualify for England? I imagine he's been here for several years. As for Chesney, I understand he's had 3 150+ innings so far this season month. He also used to pick up some useful wickets first time round. What more can he do?
