He’s played some of Surreys games in the T20 this year, but not the recent ones. Obviously played for England a few years back, 35 now. Feeder club - I love it.

It's very much a 2-tier system, with 9 counties having test grounds and 9 not. Factor in the fact that Derbyshire have one of, if not the lowest, number of members (a few hundred compared to Surrey's 10,000+ and Yorkshire's 8,000) and you can see why we are permanently strapped for cash.

jimbo jones Posted July 2, 2021 Author Share Posted July 2, 2021 3 wickets for Dernbach on debut, Worcestershire get 167. in other news Du Plooy is going off to play for Welsh Fire in that 100 rubbish. Didn’t know they could still steal your players at this point ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly - Do they think you win 20/20 games scoring 4/5/6 an over? What instruction are they given? I am glad I haven’t wasted money going to any games this season.

I am glad I haven’t wasted money going to any games this season. Batting line up just looks a bit weak, Hudson-Prentice batting at 6 shows that. We struggle with the bat outside the power play overs, just ticking over at a run a ball with the odd boundary would probably do, but we get bogged down going 3/4/5 an over. Disappointing really, we could easily have had 5 more points and be in the mix, instead the competition is over for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 Michael Cohen has signed a 1 year extension to his contract. He’s still a bit rough around the edges, but worth persisting with another year. Alex Thomson has signed a 2 year contract, and will stay with us after his loan for this season finishes. He’a done okay in the T20’s, interested to see if he plays in the Championship games. Looking towards next season, we have plenty of bowling options, so hope we address the batting department with a quality signing, overseas or otherwise.

Well yeah, that’s my point, run a ball and the odd boundary should be the plan. Swinging like idiots and going for silly shots is what got us in trouble last night, and has done many times this season. Unless your on a complete road of a wicket (and thankfully most teams don’t seem to be putting those types of wickets out this year) runs in the middle overs aren’t easy to come by. Our bowlers have been good at strangling teams in those overs to, one big issue we have is if Reece, Du Plooy and Critchley get out, there’s no one capable blasting us to victory in the final overs. It’s been very much Deja Vu this season. Reece leads the charge as we fly out the blocks in the power play. Field goes back, fail to keep the strike rotated, too many dot balls, panic and go for big shots with fielders on the boundary and get caught out (or miss the ball and get bowled) get behind the run rate and lose wickets, which is a recipe for disaster. Lower order batsmen required to go at 12 runs an over for a sustained period, of which we don’t have anyone capable of doing....equals lots of defeats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 3, 2021 Author Share Posted July 3, 2021 No Billy for the Championship either. I’d assume Critchley will be captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, taking McDermott, Madsen and Hughes out of that batting line up is going to have an affect…. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 4, 2021 Author Share Posted July 4, 2021 91-5 on close of play at Notts on day 1. It wasn’t a day to lose the toss to be honest, green wicket, dampness in the air and lots of rain delays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t think anyone needs to worry about day 3 tickets when we play them... Will probably be Leicestershire and Worcestershire also in the bottom group. Hopefully we can at least be competitive in that group ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
