Derbyshire v Netherlands preview

A likely debut for Wes Durston tomorrow is a wise marketing and cricketing move by Derbyshire.

Given our poor start in the competition, there may not be too many people keen to see us playing the group minnows, but a chance to see a man who has made a few waves this season might prompt a few more to make the trip.

The Derbyshire 12 is:

Chris Rogers
Wayne Madsen
Garry Park
Greg Smith
Robin Peterson
Wes Durston
John Sadler
Lee Goddard
Steffan Jones
Tim Groenewald
Tom Lungley
Mark Footitt

My guess is that Footitt will drop out, leaving us with three seamers, Peterson and Durston for spin, plus Smith and Park as required.

I would like to think that would be enough to beat the Netherlands, a side with some decent cricketers, but surely not enough to beat us on our own patch?

I would like to think not. We'll see how it goes tomorrow.
