jimbo jones Posted August 19, 2018 Share Posted August 19, 2018 Championship is back, that’s the team to play Sussex. When Reece is fit, if he comes in for Palladino and bats at 3 or 4 that looks a decent team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted August 21, 2018 Share Posted August 21, 2018 Century for Godleman, and half centuries for Madsen & Hughes, with Hughes still going, good to see a good batting display, would be nice to get full batting points for a change.

Jimbo Ram Posted August 25, 2018 Author Share Posted August 25, 2018 I see Slater has gone to Notts and the skipper has extended his contract. Another pretty disappointing season overall. We need a new opening batsman, a number 4, a wicket keeper who can bat and a decent spinner for next season me thinks.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy with Godleman as opening bat, but I just don’t see him as a good captain. An experienced quality spinner for Critchley & Qadri to learn off would be nice. Same with an experienced WK. Opening bat and a 4 definitely needed. note: I was supposed to quote the original post ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Team to face Kent, Tom Lace on loan from Middlesex I think it was? Makes his debut. Qadri & Hosein in, which is right, test them out for the rest of this season looking ahead to next year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 Hosein kept wicket today - and unfortunately not very well, even suffering the ignominy of the ball squirming through his gloves and clattering a parked helmet to concede five penalty runs. If Bob Taylor had been dead, he would have been spinning in his grave. The wicket looks a belter - I suspect that this is to nullify Matt Henry somewhat. The home side's attack was largely ineffective - 8 bowlers were used during the day's play. Zak Crawley (a young batsman who opened for Kent) scored a very elegant career-best 96. He definitely got the jitters in the 'nervous 90s', after flaying Derbyshire to all parts in the early overs. Once he gets his first hundred, he will bag plenty more. Tall and with a quite superb straight drive which he used - often - to great effect, he looks a real prospect. Joe Denly scored a typically gritty ton, yet he should have been dismissed first ball.Matt Critchley put him down - not an easy chance but one that should perhaps have been taken. Still, it was a nice day. We had a few Belgian beers in the hamper. Incidentally, Derbyshire were still using the old ball at the end of the day's play.

rammieib Posted August 29, 2018 Share Posted August 29, 2018 That's an awful Derbyshire team. Bowler heavy, lack of quality. So sad. I know we're the underdog, but it's another painful year. Players genuinely good enough to get us out of this league... Godleman, Madsen, Reece, Critchley, Viljoen. That leaves six spots where we are not good enough. Hughes doesn't do enough with ball or bat. Slater I'm happy he has gone, when he did score it was too slow. Four day games with British weather you need to be scoring four an over. Lace and Irvine are just throwing money away... Play second team players now this season. Palladino a great servant, has put some good numbers in this year but his time has come. Quadri doesn't do enough yet, Ferguson was amazing in the 20/20 but four day player he is not. Its a tough job for whoever gets the gig of director of Cricket.

jimbo jones Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Qadri only bowled 3 overs, did he get injured? Otherwise what was the point in picking him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted August 30, 2018 Share Posted August 30, 2018 Oh and I see Houghton back as a positive thing. Hopefully we can keep progressing, after all we have at least half a decent team, compared to a couple of years back when we couldn’t win a game.
