Henrycav81 Posted May 12, 2023 Share Posted May 12, 2023 (edited) It was bloody cold down there this afternoon hopefully it’ll be a bit warmer tomorrow Hard to judge how the game is standing as batting looked tricky Edited May 12, 2023 by Henrycav81 jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ali is no substitute by the looks of it and our other big guns are not really firing. A bit worrying really. I switched on to the stream to see first ball Guest’s stumps flying out of the ground. Maybe he needs a chance lower down the order? jimbo jones and Hans Datdo-Dishes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe he needs a chance lower down the order? I didn't start watching until the afternoon session, so not sure what the new ball was doing, but these are very different conditions to be batting in than last year's batters paradise. It's certainly been more of a struggle, particularly Haider and Guest. Du Plooy, Madsen, Reece and Came all have very good averages so far, but no century is definitely telling, someone needs to go on and get a big match-defining score, no matter what the conditions are.

jimbo jones Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Harry Came is the first Derbyshire batsmen to score a century this season 🙌 Hans Datdo-Dishes, Jimbo Ram, Comrade 86 and 1 other 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Got to 250 and declared, makes sense after Came was run out, need to move the game quickly to force a positive result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted May 13, 2023 Share Posted May 13, 2023 Suranga Lakmal - 6.2 overs, 5 maidens, 1-1 This is what we've been waiting for from the Sri Lankan, looked every bit a test match bowler in this spell. angieram, Carnero and Comrade 86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 The first innings are complete at 2:30 on day 4, should be a draw barring something calamitous from Derbyshire. Our inability to bowl out a teams lower order is a real problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 (edited) Still toughing it out. Beer gone. Was confident that Wagstaff was not out just now, but the Gloucestershire fielders thought otherwise. Luckily, the umpires agreed with me. What did it look like on the feed? Some intimidation now - not nice. Edited May 14, 2023 by Eddie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted May 14, 2023 Share Posted May 14, 2023 Hands are shaken and it's a draw. Another unbeaten half century for du Plooy who is probably batting as well as he has ever done, since becoming captain. Lots for Mickey Arthur to think about to get this team looking like it can win some games, but first its time for some pyjama cricket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without the weather intervention another game we would have probably lost. Very disappointing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
