AJ Harris has done a fine job with Derbyshire's second string this summer and yesterday's win at Bristol was the latest in a fine season.
Dan Redfern's second big contribution of the match and a good knock by Garry Park took us most of the way to a target of 324 in 59 overs and a last wicket stand by Jakes Needham and Sherriff saw the side to a memorable victory.
In the process, Matt Lineker passed 1,000 runs for the season, a remarkable effort that surely has to see him earn an elevation to the senior side?
Congratulations to all involved with the Second XI, a fine win.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, AJ was certainly doing some 'keeping' for the bowlers as they warmed up prior to playing during the 1st XI match at the County Ground on Thursday and Friday. I don't know how he knew, but another supporter near to me said that 'Steff' had gone down to Bristol.
Cheers Alan. As I've said before, I think AJ is the heir apparent to Steff's role...
ReplyDeleteI think Linekar desrves a contract for next season. Also, JM did a great bit of business bringing in AJ Harris.
