Derbyshire v Glamorgan day 3

The third day of Derbyshire's final home game of the season was, pretty much as expected, washed out today. 

Heavy overnight rain, followed by intermittent rain and drizzle today, meant that no play was possible. It renders the final day - assuming that they get on - somewhat academic, with only bonus points to gather. I think it very unlikely that Glamorgan would be interested in setting up a 'match' and I certainly wouldn't be, in their position.

It has made for a disappointing end to the home season, but no one can control the weather.

It's a good job that the club didn't bother signing an overseas player  for these closing matches... it would have been a long way and a lot of money to sit in the pavilion...

  1. Ages of our side for this match at the start of next season:

    Donald (29)
    Reece (35)
    Came (27)
    Madsen (42)
    Guest (28)
    Andersson (29)
    Dal (29)
    Basra (23)
    Chappell (29)
    Aitchison (26)
    Haydon (23)

    Average age of 29.

    Kent have 5 teenagers in their side.

    Arthur's reluctance to give our young players games is appalling. Any idea there is anything to play for is laughable so the promising young players like Bin Naeem, Hawkins and Stewart should be getting whatever meagre experience the weather allows in these last two games.
