Not much to report tonight, as a seriously curtailed first day ended with the home side 78-2 scored at just two an over.
With Cossie the Aussie only scoring at one an over, the bowling must have been pretty accurate. Cosgrove has a reputation back home as a bit of a dasher and is known as Baby Boof in tribute to his similarities to Darren Lehmann. If he makes half the batsman the legendary ex-Yorkshire pro was he will do them fine.
Graham Wagg took another two wickets to confirm his fine start to the season but Glamorgan will have been pleased to win the toss on a track that is likely to spin as the game wears on. With Derbyshire selecting both their spinners and the hosts fielding both Croft and Dalrymple, the chances are that the last day will see the slow bowlers in operation. The loss of time today will make the task of forcing a win for either side difficult, however.
The forecast appears brighter tomorrow so we'll know a little more about match prospects by the end of the day.
Final nets for me tomorrow before the season starts in earnest the week after. I'm planning on following the advice of Verinder Sehwag to Paul Collingwood in the IPL.
"See it then hit it".
At this stage of the season I'll settle for one out of two and the ability to move unhindered on Thursday morning... see you tomorrow night
Hi Peakfan,
ReplyDeleteonce Rogers gets a visa & Law recovers from injury will Park or Redfern be the unlucky ones to lose their places?
Thanks,

No mate, not a chance. My guess is that the batting line up will then read Rogers, Redfern, Law, Hinds, Park, Smith. I love Stubbo as a player but to me he's more expendable as the others offer bowling options, while Redfern is a very good and Park a brilliant fielder. Stubbo's not bad either, but he's older and not quite as mobile.
ReplyDeleteThat's for one day cricket of course. Omitting Stubbings from a four day side at present would be like having fish and chips without mushy peas, salt and vinegar. As in, unthinkable!
Who do you suggest misses out in the 4 day game, Peakfan?

ReplyDeleteAnon - Stubbo will replace Law in the 4-day as he only signed to play one day games and is merely helping out until Buck arrives.
ReplyDeleteLuxury Cottages - sorry, you've lost me with this comment and I'm assuming this should have gone elsewhere!
