Jimbo Ram Posted July 20 Share Posted July 20 1 hour ago, jimbo jones said: Been talking with a mate of mine about what we want from the One Day cup (and the rest of the championship season). Do we really think we can win it? I don’t think so. It’s the perfect opportunity to give a young core that could be the future of the club a proper go. Madsen, Patel, Whiteley are at the point their careers are winding down. By 2026 the team needs to and will look very different. Start that process now, much like Sussex did bringing in a core of young players and sticking with them. my one day cup team, with Madsen and Donald away at the 100 & no mention of Amir sticking around for this. Came Wagstaff Lloyd Bin Naeem Lamb Patel Guest Chappell Moore Brown Potts Yes, other than Dal in for Potts. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carnero Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 @jimbo jones today's fixtures are all listed as "the minor one day cup", with all fixtures featuring a county versus a minor county. Is this a straight knockout tournament? Is this something new this year, I don't remember minor counties being in it last year? If it's a group competition, what is our group? I can't find any information on it?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edit: ignore me @jimbo jones - I misread the BBC fixtures as "minor one day cup" when it actually just says "minor one day" 🤦♂️ jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Team for today…. Three changes from the one I asked for, no Harry Moore who’s been playing for England U19’s, think that’s finished now so he should be back soon. No Samit, which makes me wonder if he’s going to play in this, and no Chappell, perhaps rested as I don’t think he’s in the 100 this year. Also no Thomson which leaves Wagstaff as the spinner. Wagstaff seems to have moved from an opening bat that bowls a bit, to an all rounder that bats down the order. No Dal involved either. Great to see the young lads in there, especially Bin Naeem. On a side note, that shirt is a beauty, might tempt me to get my wallet out… Edit: I forgot about Pat Brown, I don’t think he’s been called for the 100 yet, but I’d be surprised if he isn’t. Whiteley’s in as the captain which makes sense with no Samit. Edited July 21 by jimbo jones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 (edited) Make that 75-5 and it’s pitiful. All hope pinned on Bin Naeem and Wagstaff (and Guest who’s still in) to save the day after an embarrassing batting display from the experienced top order.

jimbo jones Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 85-6 Wagstaff bowled attempting a sweep, And Derbyshire making Harry Dearden who failed to makes the grade at Leicestershire look like prime Murali with his off spin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it has been some braindead batting with reckless shots that become more reckless as the wickets fall…and then Bin Naeem comes out is doing so far what the previous 4 batsmen should have done. Play defensive and try and stay in for a bit. It says something when the lad who’s not 18 until next week is the first one other than Guest to show any sense 🤦♂️ Edited July 21 by jimbo jones angieram and Hans Datdo-Dishes 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dug us out of a hole, unfortunately they can’t go too aggressive too early to kick on as there’s only Potts, Conners and DuPavillon to come.

jimbo jones Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Bin Naeem out for 62. Caught on the boundary, started to be more aggressive after reaching 50 and with the stage of the game. A superb knock though when we in deep deep trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 Guest out for 97, going for the big shots at the end. Shame, he deserved the 100. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
