That’s pretty good!
That was my initial reaction on seeing this afternoon’s CB40 draw for 2011, at least until I realised that we had again got the Netherlands and not Scotland. Grrrr…
Group A in full is:
Netherlands
Derbyshire
Middlesex
Worcestershire
Sussex
Yorkshire
Kent
While Yorkshire and Sussex will probably start favourites, Derbyshire will be encouraged by recent performances against the White Rose county. They have to find someone to replace the runs of Rudolph, while I maintain that on a given day we can be a match for any side in the country. All of the sides are beatable and a good start could see a solid campaign.
If we can just get the Yorkies at Scarborough, that would do me very nicely!
The other groups are:
Group B:
Scotland
Hampshire
Durham
Northamptonshire
Warwickshire
Surrey
Leicestershire
Group C:
Unicorns
Nottinghamshire
Glamorgan
Gloucestershire
Essex
Somerset
Lancashire
Group C is a belter and I’m glad we’re not in with that little lot. Just what Gloucestershire wanted after all their departures, while I suspect Graham Wagg may not be fancying his new side’s chances either…
Some nice away trips! Maybee Hove, Lords, Worcester, Amsterdam, Canterbury and yes hopefully Scarborough. It's a pitty that with only one team gauranteed to qualify from each group half the matches will be 'dead' again!
ReplyDeleteWhilst on, I wondered if you or anyone knows how many days cricket we'll play at Chesterfield next season and if we are playing at Leek again?
