Gives us just over 6 months to bowl them out twice which just might be doable. 👍 Dunno, Glamorgan pitch looks to have less life in it than ours, might need an extra month.

jimbo jones Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Glamorgan don’t seem interested in doing anything other than shutting up shop for the draw. Don’t think this is going to a particularly exciting last 2 days of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still we will have two new overseas players in for next summer and new hope will arise lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second overseas signing is going to be the big one - Amir is a good signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 Glamorgan have declared on 301-5 They have a reputation for liking to try and set up games for a results, and they are living up to it. Will be interesting to see what sort of target we are willing to set. Unfortunately rain has delayed our second innings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I only saw little bits today, but there was one ball from their spinner that pitched and shot along the floor, but missed Came’s off stump. Don’t know if there was many like that though. Thomson is bowling well and might get 4 or 5 wickets but the others need to chip in as well. Have to see how long we give ourselves to bowl them out. Gloucestershire look likely to lose, so the wooden spoon has been avoided….be aggressive. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 I should think that Glamorgan are sick of the sight of Luis Reece. 131, 201*, 139, 119*. Four innings, four centuries. I wonder how many times that has been achieved in the history of County Championship cricket? Carnero, jimbo jones and Turk Thrust 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Into the final hour of the season, 5 wickets down, 5 to go. Need a wicket very soon to have a chance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Draw. A decent effort, but 4 wickets short, story of the season really. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 Final table. A sixth place finish, which is the same as last season. No wins, but only 4 losses. Disappointingly, Sussex and Leicestershire jumped above us this season, with the two relegated teams finishing in the bottom 2. Reinforcements to the bowling attack and a bit more in the home pitch and hopefully next season will be better 🤞 The rumors are Samit Patel & Aneurin Donald are coming in. A good second overseas signing to add to Mohammad Amir and we should be competitive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's contracted until the end of next season, what I've heard is he wants to come, but Hampshire hadn't quite agreed to it yet. Lloyd is expected to be captain.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted September 29, 2023 Share Posted September 29, 2023 It’s been another great season. I’ve come to the conclusion that I’ll be dead before Derby County or Derbyshire have success again. That being said, I enjoyed my visits to the county ground this season, even if we did lose every game I saw! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think Donald will be a good player for white ball cricket but not sure who he will replace in the 4 day game….Lamb? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's hard to say without knowing who the other overseas will be, but I wouldn't be surprised if Guest goes down the order and Lloyd bats at 3 and Donald at 5.
