jimbo jones Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 162-7 with the sixth wicket partnership going well I was wondering when we’d give spin a go, Critchkey comes on and takes a wicket and then so does Madsen. 3 away, Glamorgan need 80 odd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 180 for 7 now. Fear they are edging towards it. 60/40 in their favour now. Looks black over Little Eaton mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Critchley nearly took a wicket in his last over, but other than that they are batting well. 207 for 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Van Beek nearly got one to roll on to the stumps and now Reece is on at the other end. 215 for 7 Start the car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Followed it on my phone in the glorious sunshine on St Ives beach in Cornwall. When they were 7 down and 80 plus needed I was quite hopeful. Never mind.

eddie Posted May 22, 2019 Share Posted May 22, 2019 Interesting field settings towards the end - Derbyshire dispensed with a slip, put Madsen at long stop, had two third men, a deep backward square and a leg slip, then got Van Beek to bowl loads of short stuff into the batsmen's body, which elicited a few boos and slow hand claps from the Glamorgan supporters. Predictably, the ball was edged a couple of times through the vacant slip cordon at catchable height. Derbyshire lack a real pace attack - something we had in spades last season. After tea, Reece was struggling with what seemed like an ankle injury, but battled on manfully, then Paladino hurt his shoulder diving to stop a boundary, and Rampaul also never bowled after tea (he too left the field a couple of times with what I assume was an injury). All in all, it was a brilliant game of cricket between two very well-matched sides, and it could have gone either way even right at the end. If Derbyshire had battled longer in the second innings and established a big lead, then day 4 might have been attritional. As it was, I thoroughly enjoyed the battle, even though we lost.

We definitely lack a quick bowler, especially someone who charge in at lower order batsmen and finish a game off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 23, 2019 Share Posted May 23, 2019 Just read that Du Plooy is back to full fitness. Looking forward to seeing him bat again after the one day games. If he was to play at Leicester on Monday I wonder where he would fit into the team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm guessing that Dal would be left out (unfortunately, in my view), Du Plooy would bat at 4 and Lace, Hughes etc move down one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
