Why, then are we batting first. With the weather forecast surely the only way of getting a quick and big win was to bowl first and bowl them out?notoveryetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-73794948090487358782016-08-01T11:37:17.640+01:002016-08-01T11:37:17.640+01:00The equation we need to qualify isn't that unl...The equation we need to qualify isn't that unlikely. Durham rarely win away from Chester-Le-Street, and Yorkshire should beat Warwickshire unless they rest players in certainty of qualifying. Our net run-rate is already far superior to Durham's, so there's a fair chance that all we will need to do is beat Leicestershire. That's actually the most unlikely part of the scenario even without considering the weather. Leics will be flying after they beat Notts yesterday with a very inexperienced team, and hammered Lancs last week. We are going to be at the lowest ebb possible. The team's body language for the last 20 overs at Northampton, Ben Slater's heartbreaking interview from last night, and John Sadler's helpless interview tells you that the heart and belief has gone from this team. Perhaps a master motivator might get them up again for this game, but I don't think we have one of those. notoveryetnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-66354269424508537962016-07-31T19:59:19.897+01:002016-07-31T19:59:19.897+01:00Need to win and warwickshire and durham to lose......Need to win and warwickshire and durham to lose... and no rain..jaspernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-41667453014854128762016-07-31T18:49:07.004+01:002016-07-31T18:49:07.004+01:00Playing around with the lineup and batting order c...Playing around with the lineup and batting order changes is a sign of desperation nothing more.<br /><br />Lets hope for forecasted rain tomorrow night, otherwise we could be holding the wooden spoon aloft in 2 out of 3 competitions this year Dougnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-47521714799292384202016-07-31T17:49:07.889+01:002016-07-31T17:49:07.889+01:00Bowling attack just not good enough, Derbyshire do...Bowling attack just not good enough, Derbyshire don`t look like taking wickets with this attack, in any format and especially don`t look like taking 20 wickets in a championship match. surely a overseas strike bowling is a must for us next season ?<br /><br />King Sinbad.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-65616779695859125502016-07-31T16:31:33.014+01:002016-07-31T16:31:33.014+01:0010 years of frustration peakfan.

Wes at 7 behind Mellor? Rutherford dropped for neesham who bats at 9. 272 a touch below par but fingers crossed. Win or lose some debatable points dont you agree?

If he plays as an extra bowling option, then he or Thakor have to bat at 5, at least 1 or 2 places too high for either of them. If he replaces one of the 3 main bowlers then he's not an 'extra' option, and I don't think in any given game he'd likely do better than Palladino or Cotton anyway! Perhaps they're planning to drop Mellor and give Madsen the gloves, a move that would be fraught with danger in a must win game.<br /><br />I think Broom and Chesney need to come back into the side, and if Durston plays he has to bat 3 at the lowest. Overall I think there's a lot of muddled thinking which I fear will manifest itself in the performance. If they're really that worried about lack of bowling options then Madsen himself should be given a few oversSamnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-32183035308704412102016-07-30T22:18:58.246+01:002016-07-30T22:18:58.246+01:00I would have dropped Durston and made Alex Hughes...I would have dropped Durston and made Alex Hughes captain.Knacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-40183001426973483922016-07-30T21:17:38.234+01:002016-07-30T21:17:38.234+01:00I'm going to play it safe and expect defeat.
