Yeah I'd imagine the four seamers will rotate, and a spinner will play. Mark Watt when he's not with Scotland. rammieib 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The squad looks to have more depth across all positions than before. rammieib and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TuffLuff Posted February 1, 2023 Share Posted February 1, 2023 Sounds like he’s doing an ‘online’ role which is somewhat interesting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were really desperate to get him involved. At the moment, T20s in April and ODIs in May, are the only Pakistan games on the calendar during the county season.

Hans Datdo-Dishes Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 He doesn't strike me as someone who would take this on at the expense of his role at Derbyshire. We're lucky to have him. Reggie Greenwood and jimbo jones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted February 7, 2023 Share Posted February 7, 2023 After the Jo’burg openers both got ducks, a superb match winning 81 not out from du Plooy in the SA20 yesterday. They are currently joint top in the standing. Looks like the new captain will be coming back to start his reign brimming with confidence ?

Yeah, I was watching, the Jo’burg bowlers had a shocker in the first innings, giving the batsmen little chance. Poor du Plooy must have been having flashbacks of our T20 quarter final ?

jimbo jones Posted February 12, 2023 Share Posted February 12, 2023 A couple of changes to the points scoring have been confirmed. Points for a draw have gone back to 5 rather than 8. Batting bonus points will now start at 250 and end at 450. All part of a master plan to encourage attacking batting. They will also be trialing using kookaburra balls in a couple of games.

The difference in manufacturing is the Duke’s seam is hand stitched, while the Kookaburra is machine stitched after the middle two are done by hand. Which is said to give the Duke a more prominent seam. I think everyone else uses Kookaburra, so the main argument is to have the same ball across the whole sport, rather than one being better. The farce with the balls being sub standard in county cricket last season has probably caused the push for the Kookaburra trial. rammieib, Comrade 86 and sage 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We switched to the Kookaburra in the Derby & District League 50 years ago. It always felt 'smaller' in my hand - perhaps the seam stitching is the explanation for that. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted February 16, 2023 Share Posted February 16, 2023 The Hundred have announced some sort of “retained list” for each team. Basically, Madsen and Scrimshaw will be playing for the Manchester and Welsh teams again. Welsh Fire chose not to retain du Plooy, though I can't imagine someone doesn't pick him in the draft. He enhanced his reputation in the SA20 over the winter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoped that abomination of a competition would be junked or at best played so it doesn’t clash with cricket played by proper teams not made up franchise nonsense. Rant over ?
