Crewton Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 Great to see us genuinely competing against 4 counties with Test Match venues and commensurately deeper squads. As ever with Derbyshire we've had some days where we just don't turn up, but this season has so far been the most enjoyable for years. jimbo jones, Reggie Greenwood, Jimbo Ram and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Ram Posted July 29, 2022 Share Posted July 29, 2022 I see Derbyshire have a 50 over game on Sunday v Shropshire at Shifnal. Just down the road from me. Are we likely to put out a decent side? I might watch a bit of it ? jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Godleman and Wood will play I think. Jimbo Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Team to play Shrooshire. Thats pretty much the one day cup team, with Masood obviously coming in, probably in place of Wagstaff. Hughes and Thomson the other two options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimbo jones Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 Godleman taking out his recent frustrations on Shropshire with a century in 46 balls. Scored 60 for the seconds the other day too, so hopefully a boost in confidence before the one day cup starts. Magicman and rynny 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eddie Posted July 31, 2022 Share Posted July 31, 2022 The most amazing statistic from the game is Hargrave of Shropshire carrying his bat for 69*, and in the process notching up a truly staggering 77.5% of his side's runs. jimbo jones and Reggie Greenwood 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just checked - he has played 1 first-class match (the Varsity match in 2019 for Oxford at Fenners).

SKHunter Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Really good day out. Nice people, nice beer. I think Shropshire seem to have a lot of connections with Worcestershire. Not sure but I think Pennington was at Shropshire. Like you say though, worth a look. jimbo jones 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jimbo jones Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 Mark Watt back for the one day cup which is great news. No central contracts playing for Scotland which I guess makes offering a long term contract difficult. Hopefully he stays committed to us when he is available to play. I really do rate him.

I had thought about going as it is only a couple of miles from me but the weather looked iffy and we went out instead, nice ground, my son has played on that pitch when he was at school.....

Took me a while to find it but I definitelty remember this, probably mid 1970's so 'modern era'. Glenn Turner scored 141 not out, out of 169 (all out) for Worcestershire v Glamorgan. A modest 83.43%. No-one else got into double figures, 3 ducks and 1 extra. *Looked it up, 1977. Edited August 1, 2022 by Phoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I played in a 'pub' team in the 1980's, I was often responsible for <1% of the total runs scored, beat that stat! jimbo jones, Eddie and rammieib 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A long time since I’ve played any sort of competitive cricket, not as long as that though, early 2000’s. My medium pacers were slapped too all corners by Paul Borrington, who went on to play for Derbyshire, as his dad did before him. I gave up after that ?

Grumpy Git Posted August 1, 2022 Share Posted August 1, 2022 (edited) The lad who organised our games once set us up against the Macclesfield ICI team at Alderley Edge. We thought we’d arrived at Lords such was their set-up. 20 overs a piece and we batted first. After 2 overs they used their batsmen to bowl and when we fielded they played their bowlers first. Still beat us without losing a wicket in about 8 overs. One of our lads was as quick as Denis Lilley, only trouble is you’re only allowed 3 stumps and not 33. ???
