If Lamb is fully fit and bowling he has a better chance to be in the team, if not he misses out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure we need all of those bowling, think we need a batsman to fill the void in runs from Du Plooy’s departure in the middle order. Are Lamb or Donald good enough for that role 🤔 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lloyd won't match Du Plooy’s runs, but hopefully will be a much better captain With Reece and Lloyd bowling options, I don't think you need Amir, Chappell, Conners, Dal, and Thomson all playing. I’d still like a quality overseas spinner if we can get one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do think that Amir, in spring conditions in England, will take plenty of wickets. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 Anuerin Donald signing has been confirmed. 2 year contract. Explosive player who could really benefit from settled regular cricket. Never played any red ball cricket this year, got a couple of centuries in the one day cup. Grumpy Git and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jubbs Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 Not sure why he's playing in this and he's now no longer a Derbyshire player, but pretty good nonetheless. Comrade 86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And why Hungary, for goodness sake. Perhaps it was a case of being in the right place at the right time? Perhaps he just went to watch (maybe Wayne Madsen is playing for Italy again), there was a braai there and someone said "Are you hungry?" "Yes". "OK, get your pads on."

I remember Hungarian heritage of some sort being the reason he was able to play county cricket as a “local player”. Eddie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted October 10, 2023 Share Posted October 10, 2023 16 minutes ago, jimbo jones said: Samit Patel is in the building 🙌 From the clubs website… “Patel, 38, will remain at The Incora County Ground until the end of the 2025 season, and will be available for all formats.” Mickey Arthur said he will primarily play T20 but is available for the championship. Having not played 4-day cricket for 3 years its probably a case of see how he goes. Listening to Samit’s interview, he seems a little irked at being discarded by Notts, so I expect him to be fired up for those games 😀 Magicman and Derby4Me 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted October 11, 2023 Share Posted October 11, 2023 On paper the squad is shaping up nicely. I’m looking forward to the season…. secure in the knowledge that it is the hope that kills you and it will probably in all likelihood be the usual s*** show.

I am stuck in a repeat cycle….being let down by the 🐏 but with the hope that the 🏏 team will make up for it……then when the 🏏 team then let me down, hope that the 🐏 can cheer me up…. then repeat 🤣 jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we are a strike bowler and an opening bat/number 3 away from challenging. We have one more overseas pick, i'm hoping bowler jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
