I was amazed this afternoon to hear that a few Derbyshire fans were moaning that we didn't declare early enough to force a win.
Pardon me, but are you mad?
After looking like we were gone last night, a superb rearguard action saved the game and points. Why would John Morris and Chris Rogers risk all that hard work with a gifted declaration?
It would have been one in the eye for Wavell Hinds and his tail end companions to let Glamorgan back into the match and I'm quite happy to get out of that one with a draw. The way their innings was shaping up, a declaration would have seen only one winner and it wouldn't have been us.
We now have 12 days before the next game against Durham in the 20/20. By that time we should have Nantie Hayward in our ranks and the guys can look back on this one and reflect on a job well done. We're still in the frame for promotion and if we can get Hayward fit and a rub of the green, who's to say we may not yet have something to celebrate this season?
Any body know know why Redfern is still been selected ahead of Telo???? The youngster is not scoring the runs that we need to win the games!!
