Worcestershire v Derbyshire

Two games unbeaten then...

Tonight's forecast always looked a little iffy, so it was no surprise to see the game rained off very quickly.

Two points would have been handy, but with Sunday's forecast looking a belter, there should be a fine crowd to see us play Warwickshire. If we win that one we could be second in the league, somewhat ironic in the light of the recent gnashing of teeth after the home game against tonight's opponents.

If you can manage along, get behind the lads and make it an afternoon to remember!

Elsewhere in cricket tonight, further confirmation that my assertion on Charl Langeveldt's star being in decline was correct. Langers bowled two overs for 31 for Kent against Middlesex, figures that would have been hard to believe a couple of years back. As I wrote recently, anyone can take a hammering in this game when a batsman's eye is in, though Langeveldt has been among the best in this form of the game. His ability to bowl the quicker ball is going though and he's now easier to get at as a result. He's going for just under ten an over this year, a long way from the standards of his pomp.

Have a good weekend!

PS Early warning that I'm off to the sunny climes of Spain on Wednesday, where we'll be for around two weeks. I will blog from time to time while I'm away, but not with the current regularity. Lots of long walks, leisurely meals and restful days in store, hopefully in temperatures far removed to here in recent days...
