Derbyshire v Netherlands

Six o'clock and as I type there's a strong possibility that Derbyshire could lose to their visitors from Netherlands.

After another distinctly average batting display in which only skipper Chris Rogers emerged with any credit, Derbyshire only totalled 206 thanks to a few late and lusty blows by Steffan Jones.

Netherlands are 78-2 from 20, with two Australians at the crease. In a text last night I suggested to a friend that you could put money on Michael Dighton playing well in this one and with a wicket, two catches and an unbeaten 33 thus far one could say that he has. He is accompanied by another young Australian, Tom Cooper, who has a decent first class record back home for South Australia and plays on a Dutch passport. As an ex-Aussie under 19 he must know what he's doing and with plenty of batting to come, if I'd a spare fiver I'd be tempted to go with a surprise victory.

128 from 18 overs is eminently gettable and either they need to make a mess of things or we need to bowl very well from here. As I close Cooper is out, the wicket of Dighton is likely to be the key to it all.
