Still - one of the slightly better players this season. His home county as well, no surprise he jumped at the opportunity. He’s developed into a good cricketer the 3 years he’s been here. He’s not irreplaceable though, we have a ton of “sort of” all rounders. We need to get some proper batsmen into the club. rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Division 3 opponents confirmed. We take 9.5 points into the group, half of the 19 points we took from Worcestershire. We play the 4 other team's to finish the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess as you only play each team once in this phase, but played each team twice in the first groups, it's the ECB’s idea of making things equal.

jimbo jones Posted July 15, 2021 Author Share Posted July 15, 2021 Starting points for the Division 3 teams Worcestershire 18.5 Middlesex 13.5 Sussex 13 Leicestershire 11.5 Kent 11 Derbyshire 9.5 Of course we are bottom ? Worcestershire at home was the game we should have won but failed to declare early enough, allowing them to save the game with 2 wickets left. Seems along time ago now. I am at least hopeful we can be competitive with these teams. I have heard Madsen is done for the season, so the batting line up isn't going to get any help.

Should I open the batting for Derbyshire in August or play centre half for Derby County? Now I know how Alan Ramage must have felt. richinspain 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 22, 2021 Author Share Posted July 22, 2021 (edited) Scrimshaw misses out after an injury in training. Fynn and Dal batting at 4 and 5 just seems hilarious, we are batting 1st so we’ll soom see how they do. We have 2 debutants today. Leicester have 6 with all their good players missing too.

Been trying to see what teams are missing the most players, and who still look to have good team's. Which isn't easy as the hundred don't seem to acknowledge what counties their players player for at all. Essex still look strong.

Yeah was referring to the one day cup that i’m currently watching, and we've made a decent start in. If we could get 50 over Godleman in all 3 formats he'd be a great player.

Probably, it certainly has to be the weakest batting line up. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
