Rogers stands down

The club site reports today that Chris Rogers has stood down as Derbyshire captain, with Greg Smith taking over to the end of the season.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it, but I'd guess that Rogers will leave at the end of the season and this lets John Morris see how Greg Smith gets on with the full-time captaincy between times.

Of course, if there is any truth in stories of other counties chasing the Derbyshire all-rounder, the lure of the captaincy for 2011 might be something that persuades him to stay. Naturally, we'd want him to be up to the job, but he is a talented cricketer that the club can scarce afford to lose at the same time as others.

Interesting. More later.
