Now a similar surge in the one-day matches would be greatly appreciated. Does the cricket team follow the example of DCFC by falling apart after midsummer? ?

In recent years, it was traditional for them to fall apart before a ball had been bowled. The great thing about cricket is that pretty well everyone watching is there to enjoy the game, and (at least for me) just winning is secondary to the actual event. The very nature of the game is that evolves over time - hundreds and hundreds of 'small contests', all of which have a contributory effect.

Yes, the Chesterfield Festival of Cricket is a yearly thing at the moment, with a championship match, followed by the home T20 games vs Yorkshire. we’ve only played at leek a handful of times I think. With Staffs not having a County team, I guess it was in the hope of picking up some support. It’s an area where we seem to look to pick up young players as well.

In last year's Chesterfield Festival of Cricket, he hit two half-centuries and took 10 wickets in the match in the County Championship win against Northants, then walloped 22 off the last over (off the bowling of Tim Bresnan) to give Derbyshire victory in the T20 against Yorkshire.

jimbo jones Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Team to face Northants in the opening game of the one day cup. debuts for Du Plooy & Watt, interesting to see what they can do, on paper it makes our batting look a lot stronger.

Carnero Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 Luis Reece can't buy a run at the moment, but his bowling alone is good enough to keep him in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted April 19, 2019 Share Posted April 19, 2019 207-9 was looking an easy win, but a big 9th wicket partnership brought northants back into it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
