A good batting effort by Derbyshire today, posting 249 in their 40 overs. Fine innings by Guptill and Smith, with cameos from Hughes and Whiteley got us to a competitive total.
Without wanting to sound like the Grinch, I just hope that our failure to put the total out of sight in the last three overs doesn't come back to bite us. At 238-4 from 36.5 we could have been looking at 270, when in fact we added only 11 more runs for the loss of five wickets.
Our opponents bat long and we must bowl and field well to defend that total.
