The weather and winning the toss put Gloucestershire on the front foot from the start to be fair. Disappointingly, when conditions got better the batting outside of du Plooy and Reece at the end got worse 🤦♂️ Those two weren't exactly holding on though, and that's 9 draws in a row at Derby, which just looks like a difficult ground for bowlers at the moment...apart from when Derbyshire batsmen are giving their wicket away of course 👀 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could look for the last Derbyshire win, but I might get depressed 😭🤣 Think the next home games at Chesterfield, fingers crossed we can keep the good recent form there going 😬 Edited May 14, 2023 by jimbo jones Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reece and Came since coming in have done well, the rest have been very underwhelming. Having to wait 5 games for a century says a lot, too many getting out after getting in. Can we shuffle the order around a bit? Drop Haider and Guest down, move Reece back up to open? Hopefully Lamb is back for the next game too.

Jimbo Ram Posted May 15, 2023 Share Posted May 15, 2023 See we are on SKY for our first T20 game on Saturday v Lancs. What should our team be? Assuming Dal is still out and Lamb is fit, I would go: Reece Ali Came Madsen Du Ploy Guest Lamb Chappel Watt Aitchison Scrimshaw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The others in contention would be McKiernan who had a good tournament last year, Lakmal who I believe did well in the Sri Lankan T20, his team won it anyway, and Conners, who is possibly our best boundary fielder. It's one from those 3 and Aitchison I think, the rest almost picks itself, unless you leave Came out. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eddie Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Zaman Khan has just signed for the Blast. He is rapid - probably a yard quicker than George. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sage Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 We are currently playing a second XI T20 v Notts. I say 'second' Reece and Haider Ali are opening for us. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sage Posted May 16, 2023 Share Posted May 16, 2023 Derbyshire got 215 for 6 half centuries for Du Plooy and Haider Ali, Reece 40 ish, everyone else except Wood got double figures (i think) jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Always thought that line and length must be tricky when the delivery arm is almost at a right angle at point of release. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
