Derbyshire 2nds played Nottinghamshire today in this new format competition, where they play a 40 over a side match, comprised of two twenty over innings a side, played with a pink ball.
Derbyshire made 118-2 in their first twenty, an innings opened by John Sadler and Jon Clare. Nottinghamshire replied with 105-1.
Then the fun started. We ended the second innings, which continued from the first, with 289! Lee Goddard made a century and Paul Borrington 72 in a very fine effort.
Nottinghamshire could not compete with such a clean hitting display and subsided to 220 all out, leaving Derbyshire victors by 69 runs.
I don't care that it was Second XI, I just enjoyed typing that...
Derbyshire beat Nottinghamshire by 69 runs. Love it!
