Shipley Ram Posted April 5, 2023 Share Posted April 5, 2023 The Guardian are bigging us up in their pre season review https://www.theguardian.com/sport/blog/2023/apr/05/county-championship-2023-team-by-team-guide-to-the-new-season "DIVISION TWO Derbyshire Captain: Leus du Plooy Head of Cricket: Mickey Arthur Last season: 5th Derbyshire were hard to beat in 2022; this year, says Mickey Arthur, they’ve got to work out how to win. Last year’s surprise package have lost their run-machine and all-round good guy Shan Masood to Yorkshire, but have tempted over the talented Haider Ali, who wants to learn how to bat long. Suranga Lakmal returns and Zak Chappell’s arrival from Nottinghamshire should give Sam Conners, who was awarded his county cap and won England Lions recognition over the winter, some much needed backup. Wayne Madsen will need another season to remember. Expect a team steeped in Arthur acumen. Prediction: 1st" angieram and jimbo jones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 (edited) The team. Reece, Came, and Watt miss out. I don't think anyone had that. We've been put in to bat. Edited April 6, 2023 by jimbo jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 It might be a bit early after two overs but Haider Ali is looking impressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 50 up in 6.4 overs 👀 Haider Ali got the ball rolling and then Billy has gone berserk! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shipley Ram Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Thats a bit dissapointing, Ali dragged a wide one onto his stumps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Haider Ali chops on reaching for a wide delivery, disappointing but his reputation is he wants to attack. Probably one you should be leaving alone there though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So technically he's in great form 😆 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
