Brooke Guest keeps the gloves but moves down the order and Ben McDermott looks like batting three. There is at least a 'round pegs and round holes' look to the side, with the final place likely again to be between Dustin Melton and Michael Cohen. Fynn Hudson-Prentice is rested ahead of the T20.
The Derbyshire 12:
Godleman, Reece, McDermott, Madsen, Critchley, Guest, Hughes, Dal, Cohen, Aitchison, Conners, Melton
Warwickshire have named 13 for the first 'return' of the season, that opener at Edgbaston seeming a long time ago now.
Their squad:
Rhodes, Burgess, Bresnan, Briggs, Hannon-Dalby, Hain, Lamb, Malan, Miles, Mousley, Norwell, Sidebottom, Yates
I am not going to make a bold prediction of a home win, because I need to be convinced we can play four-day cricket again. When our batsmen bat time and build an innings (honourable exceptions for Messrs Madsen and Critchley) I will be more positive in my forecast...
We are capable of a draw here.
Whether we get it requires a return to the graft of Edgbaston. But I will be watching, either way.
Go well, lads.
Another unbalanced team too many bowlers packing the team with medium pacers hasn’t worked so far
ReplyDeleteAs above why do we need 6 seamers is there not 3/4 we can trust? Wood has too play in place of Hughes or Dal surely.
ReplyDeleteHave Derbyshire not signed another all rounder on loan? Surely a batsman should have been the priority
