Another great signing using Mickey’s connections, 34 year old Sri Lankan seamer this just announced his international retirement, so he comes fully committed to the cause.

Often playing second fiddle on spin friendly pitches in Sri Lanka, he has a great record on tour where 130 of his 168 test wickets came.

Tall, quick, accurate and generates swing and seam, fantastic addition to our young bowling group.

Our first choice XI looks like

 

Masood

Godleman

Reece

Madsen

Du Plooy

Critchley

Dal

Guest

Aitchison

Lakmal

Connors

 

 

If we did still have Critchley we’d be looking pretty good. Not sure if Mckiernan or Thomson can take on the full time spinner role and win games for us. Also probably means Dal is batting too high at 6.

So if we can find another top order all rounder leg spinner that would be great ?

if Dal shows the form of the last 3 games he can.

its so frustrating losing Critchley and Hudson-Prentice. With those two we would win  more than we lose.

No Critchley and I still don't have confidence in Dal I'm afraid. (I want to be proved wrong).

A Spinner (Will Scrimshaw be good enough?) and a Batting-all rounder would do for me - No confidence in Hughes to deliver enough. Let Reece concentrate on this batting this year.

I appreciate we're Derbyshire and therefore have no money but Hughes, Dal, Cohen, Thomson are all just average players for me without a real niche. At least Wood or Came are more set up for one-dayers.

I'm hoping there is budget there and we will see someone added before the season starts.

Don't think Cohen deserves to be with the other 3, the lads only 23 and is a genuinely quick left arm seamer with a bowling average of 26. Needs to take a step forward this season though, stay fit and be more consistent.
