With the injuries Northamptonshire are suffering, we would perhaps have fancied our chances last night, but itwas not to be as heavy rain ruled out any play.
Tonight Derbyshire can get themselves back into the mix with a win over local rivals Leicestershire, a game that will prove tricky for us, especially if we don't improve on the batting against Worcestershire.
Our visitors have a couple of dangerous allrounders in Razzaq and MacDonald, while the rest of their batting line up carries enough weight to post good totals. It will be down to our bowlers to keep things tight and then needs greater professionalism from batsmen who are much better than they looked in front of the television cameras. Anyone who saw us against Yorkshire in the Pro 40 and then the other night must have thought our batsmen had dopplegangers, sadly bereft of the talent of the genuine article. Tonight is a chance to address that.
A win tonight puts us right back in the mix. We're second bottom but only three points behind second place with a game in hand. We will want to improve on last year, when Will Jefferson took the game away from us at Queens Park with a sparkling innings. Josh Cobb has been in fine form recently and this will be a tough game, make no mistake.
Whats clare got to do to get dropped ? surely dino got to replace him.
ReplyDeletePeople are suggesting some 'witch hunt' against Sutton. Well, the facts are that if he is not performing at a club committed to playing youngsters then we have to consider playing Poyton.
ReplyDeleteSutton is the least of our worries for me. He,s a good keeper,decent batsman and an intelligent captain. What more do people want?.
ReplyDeleteThis is a must win gamme today. I,m going with the side i picked yesterday. Sutton to open!.
