In the words of that legend of cricket writing, Elvis Presley, lawdy, lawdy. lawdy Miss Clawdy - we made a pig's ear of today.
Youngster Peter Burgoyne had a fine all-round match and can hold his head high, while Alex Hughes also bowled a tidy spell to confirm the good impression that he has made, but the rest...oh dear. One to forget - and quickly. While the skipper battled hard for nearly an hour, there was little support until Burgoyne's late cameo.
Full marks to Sam Billings, a batsman of genuine potential, for a remarkable century on a pitch where no one else really got going, but Derbyshire's batting again failed in a display as far removed from that against Sussex as is possible.
More tomorrow in Monday musings
