jimbo jones Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 50 for Hosein, century partnership with Critchley who's only 4 away from his century. What a start to the season these 2 have had.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted April 15, 2021 Share Posted April 15, 2021 Just turned on to see us lose 2 wickets in 2 balls. ? So, Anuj Dal, batting at 7 today and doesn’t bowl. What is the point? Surely it is a waste of a batsman. Anyway, Critchley, what a wonderful start to the season! Well played Sir! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bat first, score 350+ - you are definitely not behind the 8-ball. Close of play, 360-8 - I would snatch your hand off for that any day of the week.

Yeah, they are talking out of their arse. The late wickets brought them back into it a bit, but at that point they were well behind. sage and rynny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, feel they are shoehorning him into the team because he’s such a good fielder. I like him as a one day player, but he doesn’t do enough with bat or ball in the 4 day game. We have enough all rounders in the team, Dal is one too many for me. He’s not a better player than Alex Hughes, so not sure why Hughes is nowhere to be seen this season. He’s scored some runs for the 2nds today, Tom Wood also scored a century. Perhaps pressing a claim for next week, if Dal fails again in the 2nd innings.

If you win the toss, put the opposition in and they are still batting at the end of day 1, you have probably not made the right decision. jimbo jones and rynny 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 15, 2021 Author Share Posted April 15, 2021 Absolutely, if we can squeeze out another 40 runs in the morning, you couldn’t ask for much more from a Derbyshire perspective. Eddie, Steve Buckley’s Dog and rynny 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Harvey Hosein left unbeaten again, his average must be sky high this season. Sam Conners with a wicket 2nd ball, looks nice overcast conditions for bowling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 Great ball by Hudson Prentice to get Mitchell out just before lunch. Nipped back and took the middle stump. Needed that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my general impression that the Cricket establishment in biased against the smaller counties and against us particually as an unfasionable and unglamourous County, quite irrelevent to if we are a good side or playing a good game. Just dismissive. I'd say Derbyshire are ahead in the game, not massivly so and we've yet to see how Wrcester bat their first innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They didn't even have the big wicket display box for wicket of Mitchell, just a quick sentence squeezed in barely noticeable.

jimbo jones Posted April 16, 2021 Author Share Posted April 16, 2021 121-4 second wicket for Conners who's bowler well today. Been a conveyor belt of young bowlers who come and go over recent years, really hope Conners is the one who can be a mainstay for year's in the team.
