He's having a good game, it has to be said. The love in is so intense I'm starting to wonder if one of them are his agent. He is having the best game I can recall him ever having so far. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted August 31, 2021 Author Share Posted August 31, 2021 201-9 at close of play. Dal fell just short of his 50, Thomson hit some nice boundaries but we only just scraped to 200. Considering 5 of the top 7 combined for 16 runs, it could have been a lot worse. Difficult batting against the new ball, which is why you have to stick around until the ball gets older. Only Du Plooy managed do that. Still somewhat in the game at least. Anon 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 205 all out first ball of the Middlesex innings Conners bowls Stoneman with a beauty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 129-4 at lunch, couple of wickets for Conners, one each for Aichinson and Thomson. Not been the swing of the first 2 days, but 4 wickets is good going, though runs have come too freely, Reece was poor with his opening spell. Found it interesting that Thomson has come on to bowl before Critchley both innings...Thomson has bowled better as well to be fair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Got them to 198-9, and we are bowling 2 spinners at a number 11 and they’ve ticked over to 215 ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 58 run partnership for the 10th wicket, 334 to win, should have been more like 270 ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted September 1, 2021 Share Posted September 1, 2021 Bowled out for under 200 is my prediction. Please surprise me Derbyshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Considering when play has been stopped due to bad light the first 2 days, we will probably survive the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 13/1 and off for bad light. Probably have to survive until around 5 tomorrow..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2021 Author Share Posted September 1, 2021 Caught me out and came back out to play, moved the score on to 42-1. Annoyingly, if it wasn’t for that last wicket stand, we’d be in a good position to win this. As it is it’s very unlikely. Mihangel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 Wayne Madsen back playing for the seconds. Hopefully back in the mix for the next game. He’s probably not as good as he once was, but 4 half centuries and a couple of 40’s are big runs in this batting line up ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 127-3 at lunch. Wood out first bal before id even put the stream on ?♂️ Du Plooy thought he was still playing in the Hundred, and tried to smash everything and eventually hacked one onto his own stumps. Godleman been solid all morning, as has Critchley. Conditions better for batting than the first innings, especially once the ball gets older....whoch makes Du Plooy’s decision making all.the more baffling.

Grumpy Git Posted September 2, 2021 Share Posted September 2, 2021 186/8 two new "batsmen" at the crease. Dal run-out for 19. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 2, 2021 Author Share Posted September 2, 2021 221 all out. Similar story to the first innings, 2 batsman that batted well, but didn’t go on long enough to be really significant. The rest, a load of rubbish. Never scored enough runs, but we let Middlesex get around 100 runs more than they should have. Could have been an interesting finish....at least we made it to day 4 ?

jimbo jones Posted September 3, 2021 Author Share Posted September 3, 2021 Luis Reece to have shoulder surgery, and miss the rest of the season. Been a problem for 2 years and been having injections in order to play. Hooe they give Harry Came the 3 games as opener to see what he can do.
