You dont fairly benchmark us against that level and we didnt do that badly. There have been times to be critical this year but not overly so last night.Peakfanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01328174919897893268noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-22507682227602681072014-08-27T21:32:13.322+01:002014-08-27T21:32:13.322+01:00I don't think that any of the players choked, ...I don't think that any of the players choked, I just think that the difference in class was highlighted. When under pressure, our bowlers served up full tosses and wides, the Notts bowlers managed variation balls that were dots or took wickets.<br /><br />The result was disappointing, but at least we had a knock-out game to watch at last.<br /><br />CraigAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-4714137071776824052014-08-27T15:40:21.574+01:002014-08-27T15:40:21.574+01:00It was a poor display all round and with the excep...It was a poor display all round and with the exception of Wainwright,not one player enhanced their reputation.<br /><br />We had to be at something close to our best and in reality produced something close to our worst. The warning signs were all too evident against Lancashire and Yorkshire and while ever we continue to undermine ourselves,we will never beat these sort of teams.<br /><br />We accept defeat too easily and too readily and to me the pyschological make up of this team is still very much in question. We chose to ignore some obvious team changes which have been necessary since the third or fourth game and yesterday our luck finally ran out.<br /><br />We are far too reliant upon three or four individuals to come up with the goods,with the remainder contributing very little to the cause. We are still a long way short of finding the answers to cracking the shorter formats and will only be achieved by the introduction of new players who can fit into the format. It was all as predictable as it was disappointing.

From what I've seen of him in both county and club appearances, he is more than an exciting prospect for the club going forward, if he's not too busy with international appearances of course, which undoubtedly will follow.

Neither Elstone nor Hughes are getting anywhere near the runs they should be in the positions they bat and their place in the side will be rightly scrutinised.<br /><br />If Derbyshire are serious about a winter overhaul that will make us genuinely competitive then we also need a better wicket-keeper than Cross. The good news about that is that he's probably already on the books and will be raring to go in 2015.Tim, Chesterfieldnoreply@blogger.com
