Sadly before my time, I have vague memories of Bishop at Derbyshire as a young kid but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Just the 223 needed for the win. Possible, but comes with the pressure of chasing. RadioactiveWaste 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 The 29 extras we conceded were brutal, and very costly. Think wed have chased down 200-210. The pressure from the run rate has been too much. Reggie Greenwood and angieram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 194 all out. Not to be, 2 or 3 particularly bad overs and the extras proved too costly. Finished up in sixth place, after a poor start we got back into the competition but we're always playing catch up.

Jimbo Ram Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Shame, one game too far. The two 27 run overs we conceded were killers. Beaten by the better side on the day so no complaints 😊 Reggie Greenwood 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think we would of stood a better chance if we won the toss and batted first, du Plooy’s record with the toss is comically bad...think he's won one all season.

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Too many extras. Take away the no balls and the sixes off the free hits and there wouldn’t have been anything in it it disappointing. Like my beer getting blown over when I went to the toilet. Hugely disappointing! angieram and jimbo jones 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Henrycav81 Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 We bowled to many no balls,when you’re chasing 223 you’ve got to go at it from the off then you’re always likely to lose wickets,we were always playing catch-up when batting, madsens wicket was the vital one he was out to a very good catch jimbo jones and Reggie Greenwood 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 I did have a feeling before the game that Mattie might be targeted and whether Dal might have been a better option, but easy to be wise after the event 😊 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 (edited) A look at the positives from this T20 campaign. Zaman Khan was amazing for such a young inexperienced bowler. I really hope we see him here again. Harry Came eventually got his chance and has nailed down a place as our opener in all formats now, at just 24 that's great news. Brooke Guest probably had his best T20, showing he could hit boundaries at the end of the innings. Chappell and Scrimshaw completed a fast bowler trio that all took 20+ wickets, which is impressive. The negatives...Haider Ali probably didn't hit the heights we had hoped for. You could see the talent but needs to mature as a batsman to reach his potential, which I guess is why he’s here. We didn't get enough out of our spin bowlers. Thomson was the best of the bunch when he finally got a chance. Finally, is it the end for du Plooy? Losing him would be a huge blow.

Eddie Posted July 2, 2023 Share Posted July 2, 2023 Key moments involving one player - Mitch Santner - was the real difference between the two sides. His batting towards the end of his innings was devastating, and his four overs were really excellent. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England at Lords playing the West Indies, Mike Hendrick steaming in with his shirt bellowing behind him...an in swinging yorker to Viv Richards...boom a 6 😁 Devon's 9 wickets against against South Africa a joy to watch, When me and her were walking in the Eagle Centre market we saw DM, He stopped us and asked if we could just watch his baby Daughter as he need the toilet, We did he thanked us and went on his way. Alan Ward...all foggy now...maybe Eddie has a few stories 👍 jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Ward...all foggy now...maybe Eddie has a few stories 👍 Not really stories. Wardy was lightning-quick, and was the perfect foil for Hendrick who was metronomic in line, length and accuracy. They were the next pair (great fast bowlers always hunt in pairs) after Harold Rhodes and Brian Jackson. I think Alan Ward averaged about 10 or 11 with the ball in his first season (68 I think), albeit a very short one for him because he only came in at the tail end of the season I think Derek Morgan was captain at the time, or it might have been Bucko. Ian Buxton was one of those old-school sportsmen - played football in the winter for The Rams and cricket for Derbyshire in the summer. Where the seasons overlapped at the start and the end he had a bit of a problem, of course, but I digress. I honestly think that Alan Ward would have been the natural successor to John Snow in the England side (as Hendo was to Ken Higgs) but for the injuries which plagued him throughout his entire, brief career. jimbo jones and Ram-Alf 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
