Regular readers will know that I was more hopeful of Tim Groenewald staying at Derbyshire than Greg Smith and I am delighted to see that he has signed on for another three seasons.I understand that the player is very happy in the area and he is a key component of our team. As a bowler is is rarely injured, totally committed and usually penetrative. As a batsman he sells his wicket dearly but can hit the ball hard when required.
He is, in short, a model professional, the sort of player that a team of young Derbyshire-reared players can learn from, respect and work with.
I am thrilled that we will see him in our colours for the next three seasons.
Take a bow Timmy G - its nice to see that loyalty is still in the game and I look forward to many more wickets and runs in the years ahead.
Groenewald's signing was a masterstroke by John Morris and I am glad he is staying with us.
