Connors and Kerr are club bowlers at best, the spinners are just exposed, Arthur is laughing all the way to the bank. So we are now throwing Mickey Arthur under the bus because we’ve lost a couple of games? Christ ?♂️ The only issue I really have with our attack is it massively lacks experience and it shows when it gets put under pressure. Kerr’s record speaks for itself.

Fair, I'm throwing my toys when we're crap. But we are so crap is annoying and I'm not sure the money spent on Arthur is better than spending it on players.

angieram Posted June 3, 2022 Share Posted June 3, 2022 Why is it that you can always guarantee Derbyshire don't turn up against Notts? I agree we were twenty runs short, and that Hales was the difference. We have lovely stroke players but no-one with that power play suited to the twenty over game. Think we'll be more suited to the 50 over format. Great to see a big crowd tonight and hopefully put some dosh in the coffers. But why are all Notts/Forest fans such p*****? There was a gobby cow behind me tonight that I could cheerfully have smacked in the gob! There's a way to win gracefully but she wasn't it! jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arthur has already made a difference in the 4 day game, not least by being able to attract Masood and Lakmal. The latter's injury is a real blow and Derbyshire simply don't have the financial resources to have a second string of players to make us competitive in all forms of cricket, particularly against counties with the benefit of Test venues. I never watch the T20s (or The Hundred) because they just don't appeal to me, so I'm never going to judge the coach or the team on how we perform in this format. I'd like us to win, of course, but it doesn't really interest me. jimbo jones, Mihangel and Comrade 86 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major downside (for me) to the T20 game is it tends to attract people who think they are at a football game. I’m all for enjoying yourself but keep it respectful, that’s what crickets all about. rynny, SKHunter, angieram and 3 others 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimbo Ram Posted June 4, 2022 Share Posted June 4, 2022 It might have been a close game if Hales had been out first ball. He was the difference. We are a little short in the bowling department but ridiculous to start being critical of the Manager and team. First game really where we have been outplayed and Hales can destroy any attack when he is in that mood… Comrade 86, angieram, Eddie and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First game really where we have been outplayed and Hales can destroy any attack when he is in that mood… One thing I would like them to stop doing, is giving Scrimshaw an over in the power play. He’s superb in those middle overs, just have him bowl there. With the field up the batsmen have license just to swing at him and take advantage of the extra pace and bounce he has. They just have to get an edge and it flies to the boundary. On paper, and from what I’ve seen Notts and Lancs are by far the best 2 teams in the North group. We need to compete with the rest for those other 2 QF places. We will be in the mix. Comrade 86 and Jimbo Ram 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NottsRam Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 This years Royal London Cup final is at Trent Bridge and tickets are on general sale tomorrow. Very reasonably priced and you never know, Derbyshire could be there this year. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Buckley’s Dog Posted June 7, 2022 Share Posted June 7, 2022 Need to take pace off the ball. I fear a few overs from Connors and they will be halfway there. Can’t tell what a wicket is like until both have batted on it though - that’s what I’m telling myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Masood seems to be trying too hard to smash boundaries. He needs to settle down and just play his game. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 Next 2 games are Leicestershire and bottom of the table Worcestershire, have to win both games to get back in contention. Had a look through the fixtures, and of course the 2 teams we only play once are the current bottom 2. Being in a division/group where every team doesn’t have the same schedule irritates me. angieram and RadioactiveWaste 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
