jimbo jones Posted July 30, 2021 Share Posted July 30, 2021 Good to see Luis Reece playing last night, so them stealing our players doesn’t feel like a waste of everybody’s time....oh wait ? Du Plooy not been in a team either, so whilst Derbyshire have played 3 games struggling to find a batsman, 2 of our best have been no where near a cricket pitch. Great stuff.

Like Rammieib I support Derbyshire not a made up team for Notts etc Designed to try and undermine the less “fashionable “ counties IMO That’s why I don’t like it. Again, no problem with peoples opinions. You do you. Its when that misery is directed at people trying to enjoy it, like you can't enjoy this without having to go and watch 20/20 first. Maybe I'm lucky as my counties ground and a few of their players are being used so there is more of a connection. Any excuse to go watch cricket at Headingley on a Saturday is good enough for me, cringey DJ's and branding aside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got no problem with people wanting to watch it, my family members enjoyed their trip to Trent Bridge, and plan to go Edgbaston next. If your a fan of the bigger test venue clubs, it's just more cricket I suppose. My main problem is it being the start of a movement to streamline the teams in all formats, which I can see happening. Without Derbyshire, I don't watch cricket anymore, I have no interest in watching a team based in Nottingham or anywhere else. cstand, Anon, Reggie Greenwood and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Put it on and Du Plooy is shutting sixes and Critchley is at the other end, so will give it a little watch. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hitting* ?♂️? Both batted nicely, Du Plooy is really good with the white ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted July 31, 2021 Share Posted July 31, 2021 Only watched 5 minutes, it's as long as I can cope with the graphics, it was noticable that the ground was far from full. Wonder if the initial attraction is dying down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to confirm it was a load of rubbish, and Du Plooy and Critchley should be scoring runs for Derbyshire tomorrow instead of playing that nonsense.

Rev Posted August 3, 2021 Author Share Posted August 3, 2021 Too many low scoring matches to catch the eye of the casual fan. Kids tune in to see the ball clearing the rope every other ball, not slow bowlers keeping it tight. It's cricket, but somehow purer cricket than they set out for. Makes T20 look like a test match.

Playing the T20’s in August rather than June weekdays is the answer to getting more bums on seats, and the have some of the games on the BBC for everyone to watch. They always harp on about county crickets purpose being finding and preparing players for England. What's this competition preparing them for? Meanwhile all our best and most promising players arent playing 50 over cricket for the 2nd year in a row. I just don't get the thinking.

Meanwhile all our best and most promising players arent playing 50 over cricket for the 2nd year in a row. I just don't get the thinking. 1. Kill off small counties. 2. not be T20 so we can have control of the format. I struggle to see the thinking beyond those 2 points. Oh silly graphics and DJs, because the youth like silly graphics and DJs and don't like anything with depth....

Anon Posted August 4, 2021 Share Posted August 4, 2021 Say what you want about the 100, but it's obviously been great preparation for the England team for the India test. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
