Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 441-6 now. Neither batsman look in any danger at all. Anuj Dal is rapid between the wickets! jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Lead is over 100. Thomson got to his half century before getting out, Dal still going on 66, with Conners sticking around, something we’ve not really seen from the tail this season...so that’s a positive.

jimbo jones Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Anuj Dal 11 runs away from a century batting with a one legged Ryan Sidebottom (again ?♂️) and Suranga Lakmal left to bat ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing to worry about, century for Dal, to go with his 2 stunning catches....just needs to bowl them out for the win now ? Carnero 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 565-8 declared Dal unbeaten on 114, Sidebottom with a career high of 31 batting on one leg which was impressive. Have to assume he won’t be bowling though, which is t great news. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rammieib Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 So have we ever had a game where every batter has scored double digits where at least 10 have batted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Comrade 86 Posted May 14, 2022 Share Posted May 14, 2022 Massod getting some well deserved plaudits from the press. 1000 runs in May? ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/cricket/61432296 jimbo jones and Zag zig 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, they were talking about this a lot on the bbc commentary because David Griffin the club photographer, statistician and general fountain of Derbyshire knowledge, was getting excited because it hadn’t happened where all 11 batsmen got into double figures since some time in the 1930’s I think they said.

jimbo jones Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Luis Reece bowling ? hopefully hes fully ready and it’s not a rush job because Sidebottom is injured. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 A much duller draw than last week. Mickey Arthur’s unbeaten start continues though. I will check on the table later when the other games have finished. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 5th as it stands but with a game in hand on Glamorgan and Durham and even a defeat with just 3 bonus points would put us above them. Notts at Trent Bridge next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 15, 2022 Share Posted May 15, 2022 Great clip of Mickey Arthur’s post match interview. It’s easy to think, if only we could have turned one or two of these draws into a win. But when you think about how poor this team was last year, the turnaround with just the 2 international signings has been excellent. We also lost our best player in Critchley and Aitchison would be in the team if he wasn't injured. The key phrase, which I know he's said before, is the plan being to become hard to beat first, and then progress from there. That first part is going well, only us and Middlesex remain unbeaten in the division and Middlesex we're saved by the weather today. It will be a big test against Notts next week.

We’ve had a couple of games where the balls got changed a lot. I watched Rob Key’s interview with Nasser Hussain about him becoming the managing director of the England cricket team. Where he said he was happy with the pitches this season and talked about how at the end of his career he found facing medium pace county bowlers more difficult than when he faced the best bowlers in the world at test level. Basically saying everything had got a bit too bowler friendly. Of course, you’ve got to keep the balance and not go too far the other way. There’s been times this season where once the ball has got old and soft that there’s been nothing there for the bowlers at all. Ramrob 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Liam Hurt being brought in to replace Sidebottom....hopefully he has better luck with injuries ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Team vs Notts 3 changes, No Lakmal, Dal or Sidebottom, Potts, Hurt, and Hughes come in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 Change of ball after 8 overs, and Broad wasn’t happy with it after 1 ball...so the new batches of balls are going well ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 19, 2022 Share Posted May 19, 2022 89-3 at lunch First time we’ve been in a bit of trouble, Masood out for 18, then 2 wickets went in 2 balls, Godleman 11 and Madsen 0. Guest 44 and Du Plooy 12 steadied the ship and saw us through to lunch. Really strong bowling attack for Notts, whereas ours has been decimated. Apparently Lakmal is a elbow injury he has been playing with and needs a rest. Dal went down in the warmup, not sure what the injury is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
