Why did he leave? If I remember right, his contract was up and he chose Kent over the offer from Derbyshire. Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Interesting words from du Plooy. Definitely the Mickey Arthur effect. I wonder if du Plooy will carry on as captain? I would hope so, give him the 3 games as an audition for getting it permanent next season. I think Billy’s time as captain is up, he just needs to concentrate on his batting.

What I didn't get was the engagement the fans attending had with the game. They were getting really excited. How does that work exactly? Who were they supporting and why? Really don't understand it...... jimbo jones and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really don't understand it...... I had cricket withdrawal and watched a good chunk of the Trent Rockets/Welsh Fire game the other day. Wanted to be reminded of what du Plooy and Scrimshaw look like... Anyway, it was terrible. Not helped by the OTT commentary, one point saying Scrimshaw will learn from playing the best players in the world in the hundred. I looked but couldnt find them, I just saw the same players he played in the T20 ?♂️ From what I can gather, the women version is literally all of the best players in the world, and has been a success for them. The men have multiple franchise tournament to choose from and the money isn't anything special for the real top players, and of course Indians aren't allowed to play in any of these tournaments. With the novelty wearing off, the few big names who did come have started pulling out and I don't think there will be much appetite to come over for the big names next year. To play in a weird format no one else plays. It already just looks like strong county teams with relatively average overseas players. Which is fine if that's what your billing it as, but with Sky determined to tell everyone its the best cricket you'll ever see its becoming a bit of a joke. I saw Steve Harmison was saying it needs scrapping yesterday and if they really want a franchise tournament it has to be T20 cricket. Trent Bridge also randomly let fire works off in the middle of an innings and the DJ always played music between the bowling changes for a bit too long. And don't get me started on those graphics ??

What they laughingly call the 'interval', like they have in Operas. Average age looked to be about 16. However, I did have the sound turned off, as we were killing time until Shetland started. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I think that team almost picks itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take it we will go mainly with a pace attack-not sure if Watt is an option? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I certainly think Came should open in all of these last 3 games. Have a good look at him to see if he's the answer going forward. Not sure about Watt either.

Maybe if we had had all our players available for the 50 over comp Derbyshire and Wayne may have shared some ?
