jimbo jones Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Squad for the one day opener is the same as the Shropshire game plus Mark Watt. Not sure if Masood is back yet. Think we will line up like this... Godleman Reece Came Wood Guest Dal McKiernan Watt Aitchison Conners Potts Could play Wagstaff instead Potts for an extra batter.

Turk Thrust Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 I like reading this thread of the forum. I’m of an era when Les Jackson and Harold Rhodes reigned supreme and I watched Derbyshire then until I moved first to Brum and then to London where I am now. Lost my way a bit with the team but it’s good to catch up. Thanks. Rev and jimbo jones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is talk that Masood won’t be back for the 50 over competition if he is picked for a training camp and tour of the Netherlands ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hit Garry Birtles with a bouncer - then tried to do the same to John Kettley (was a weatherman, a weatherman, a weatherman) in the same match. That didn't go my way. Whereas Birtles was absolutely rubbish, Kettley knew which end of the bat to hold and tonked me all over West Park. jimbo jones, Hans Datdo-Dishes and sage 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still doing it on Boom Radio, which somewhat bizarrely seems to have become the workplace default throughout the morning.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Derbyshire’s squad entails all 13 players they have that are fit and available to play. Let’s hope Masood isn’t picked to watch Pakistan paste the Netherlands - we need him back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a good toss to win, the balls moved about plenty and batting has looked tricky. Without Masood, Madsen, and du Plooy and with Godleman & Reece not being in the greatest of form this year, the batting does look very fragile though.
