As ...A cracking game indeed, only wish l was there. As you say PF, just hope the weather doesn't spoil what is an enthralling match so far.<br /><br />The real Hardus Viljoen showed today what we have missed for most of the season. A bowler who can destroy a top order and demolish the tail. It would be asking a lot for him to replicate that performance on the final day but the opposition will certainly play him with some circumspection. We just need Davis and company to give him plenty of support.<br /><br />Two excellent days cricket from Derbyshire, just hope they can produce the goods over the next two days. We have seen on numerous occasions that the side fail to maintain that level of performance over the full course of the game.<br /><br />With the loss of Billy and the key wicket of Luis Reece, it's paramount that one or more of the top order steps up and plays a long innings.<br /><br />Time to deliver!<br /><br />Stuart, YorkAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-37872084539114235082017-09-13T22:32:17.116+01:002017-09-13T22:32:17.116+01:00It really is poor that you aren't able to use ...It really is poor that you aren't able to use a 'full' substitute to replace a batsman injured by an illegal delivery.

A chance for many of them to show a strong mental attitude. Both teams have had 8 players get into double figures,so it is possible to bat time.<br /><br />If just one of them could make 3 figures,with support from the others,there could be a cracking finish in store.<br /><br />Then its over to the bowlers,and a bit more support for viljoen next time please.<br /><br />Very encouraging so far though,and absolutely shows the benefit of having a strike bowlerIanCnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-46846306391908034.post-30545715568899509572017-09-13T21:57:35.743+01:002017-09-13T21:57:35.743+01:00A good couple of days cricket from the lads. Have ...A good couple of days cricket from the lads. Have we had a view today of the real Hardus Viljoen? I think so. Like many other supporters, I don't think he was fit during the early season, but goodness me, he appears to be now.<br />It really is a pity that Billy won't be batting, and as you say Peakfan, one or two of the other batsmen need to stand up and get us between 250 and 300 (or more).<br />I haven't seen the lad in the flesh, but it sounds like we have a real talent with young Qadri. I don't know how long he has a contract for, but I think the club should 'take a punt' now, and tie him up for three or four years.<br />Let's hope we are in the box seats at close of play tomorrow.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14286041238954041611noreply@blogger.com
