TuffLuff Posted June 10 Share Posted June 10 I was there yesterday and I don’t think Derbyshire were as bad as it seemed. The key difference was the batting towards the long boundary to me, in Derbyshires last 10 over either the ball wouldn’t carry or they’d hit high into a blustery wind. Lyth and Malan kept the ball on the ground and could find the pockets whilst keeping the run rate ticking over. Yeah you can maybe criticise the bowling a little bit but you are talking about international standard bats-men on a pitch that was to home advantage (I think this is part of the problem when it comes to form for Yorkshire players in the England set up, but that’s another debate for another day), but I think Derbyshire could have hit 200 and most likely it’d be knocked off.

Yeah, having a team that can play well to your home ground conditions is a major factor in T20. I think we would have needed 220 to put some scoreboard pressure on them.

jimbo jones Posted June 12 Share Posted June 12 Harry Moore called up for the England U19s again for their series against Sri Lanka. Hope to see him get more opportunities in the one day cup this season. Jimbo Ram, Reggie Greenwood and Crewton 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted June 13 Share Posted June 13 Squad for the next two games. The only real debate is wagstaff or Thomson as the second spinner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Northants make 193-8 Brown & Chappell really pulled that back in the last 2 overs as Northants looked set to go comfortably over 200. A chasable target on our pitch, there's rain around though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its a revised total of 187 off 19. Tom Wood not impressed with only 7 runs taken off for 1 over lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only criticism from me is that he didn't know he had a free hit. We seem to be a ten man team though, no disrespect to Wagstaff but both him and Thompson are struggling for whoever plays. Bring in a seamer instead? Let Madsen turn his arm over? (if he still can). jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m happy for Wagstaff to stay in the team but I don't think he should bowl more than 2 overs. Whiteley should have 2 or mix Madsen or even Lloyd in. rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted June 14 Share Posted June 14 Dizzy heights of third. Does anyone know how the opponents you only play once are decided? Its always Durham & Worcestershire for us, and Durham seem to always be bad at T20 recantly and having lost so many players Worcester are really struggling too. Meanwhile, Leicestershire only face Lancashire and “Birmingham” once who are both always 2 of the stronger teams 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
