Anon Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 You have to wonder if the players are trying to get rid of Hughton with a performance like this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 108-5 at lunch, Guest and Dal largely untroubled since coming to the crease and have a 50 partnership. Begs the question what the first 5 batsmen were doing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Century partnership for Guest and Dal making a mockery of the “top order”. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently our top 5 batsmen were playing on a different pitch to everybody else. Bizarely Leicestershire haven't taken the new ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 220-5 at tea Thought it would be allover by now at 11 this morning. Guest and Dal have looked in no trouble at all really. New ball due, that’s the big test, can these 2 see that off and carry on. Thomson can bat, but you wouldn't want the dealers coming in to the new ball.

Bizarely Leicestershire haven't taken the new ball. Neither did Derbyshire in similar circumstances yesterday, and it was entirely predictable in the circumstances. It is blazing hot (I'm using my brolly as a sunshade, and the players are having a drinks break every 40 minutes), Leicestershire have spent 2.5 hours in the field and there were oy 4 overs before tea - and both batsmen are well set. Far better for the seamers to have a quick shower and come out fresh. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 200 partnership and 1st first class century for Brooke Guest. Not been many bright points to this season, but Guest has been one, steadily improved as the season has gone on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 Anuj Dal ? Interesting that the sudden form has come in the last 2 games where he has been picked as the genuine 4th bowler, rather than shoehorned into the team without an obvious role. Hopefully the form continues. Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grumpy Git Posted September 7, 2021 Share Posted September 7, 2021 Derbyshire miss-out on a batting bonus point by 1 ball, you couldn't make it up! Scored 300 on the 661st ball. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 7, 2021 Author Share Posted September 7, 2021 313-8 at close. Guest out for 116, the partnerships graphic for the Derbyshire innings looks funny. It's literally all Guest and Dal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scored 300 on the 661st ball. Top sledging by Ben Mike. Throughout the last over, he was in Alex Thomson's earhole (albeit from 50 yards away) while Callum Parkinson was bowling the 110th over... "Come on, Alex. You only need two for a bonus point" etc. Three swipes across the line followed, unfortunately the last delivery was dead straight. In the context of the match, it was a big moment, because it gave Leicestershire a lift, and they finally winkled a very weary Brooke Guest out (remember that he had kept wicket for 169 overs). I prefer to concentrate on today's positives, although it is 'fashionable' on here to take the piss out of Derbyshire (and I'm as guilty of that as anyone). Brooke Guest - maiden first-class century. Anuj Dal - maiden first-class century Guest and Dal shared an all-time Derbyshire record 6th wicket partnership of 227, breaking the record of 212 previously set up by Garnet Lee and Stan Worthington at Chesterfield v Essex in 1932. It's a small glimmer to take pride in, during an otherwise wretched season. Grumpy Git, jimbo jones and Steve Buckley’s Dog 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
