jimbo jones Posted October 19, 2021 Author Share Posted October 19, 2021 Harvey Hosein has retired from professional cricket at the age of 25 due to his concussion issues. Terrible news to see a talented local lad have his career cut short. Watched his interview about his decision, and fully understand his decision. Health comes first.

Think the only team of the year he's not in, is the BBC one votes by fans...because fans are stupid. Named as one of the 5 county cricketers of the year..... He's not playing for us next year is he? ? Can’t understand why Critchley hasn’t been picked for the England Lions squad ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rammieib Posted October 27, 2021 Share Posted October 27, 2021 So our best player has gone. We are already the worst team in the country as a whole over all formats. No coach. So depressing being a Derby sports lover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bowling part I'm not that concerned over, he was never a spinner who bowled teams out. We were already short in the batting, so to lose our most consistent batsman, after already losing Hosein as well is a massive blow. Also a good fielder and was a big personality on the pitch and already a leader. I just hope we can find a good player to replace him, plus also bring in a good overseas player who actually plays would also be nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed - But it’s the 20/20 I go to, so selfishly I want us to have the best 20/20 team available. If we matched/beat Essex offer and he’s gone for Div One play, then fair play, he’s leaving for the right reasons and best of luck to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, if he’d gone to a middle of the pack team i’d have been disappointed, but can't blame him for going to Essex who have become a really good team.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 It’s all a bit depressing. Cricket has gone the way of football. The days of us being able to compete are long gone. Good luck to Critchley and all hail Anij Dal as his successor! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly more difficult, but Essex aren’t a test venue team and spent a lot of time in division 2 before recent success. In the short format Kent, Essex, Worcester and Northants are all recent t20 winners. It is possible to have some success. A big problem we’ve had is when we have had a good season, we’ve followed it up with an absolutely terrible one. We don’t build any momentum which doesn’t inspire players to stay/sign.
