Derbyshire v Kent preview RLODC

Looks like a truncated game today for me, with overnight and morning rain likely to cause a delayed start.

From the announced twelve, the final call is likely to be between Archie Harrison and Nick Potts, with the latter likely to get the nod and this team to play:

Reece, Came, Masood, Wood, Guest, Dal, Hughes, McKiernan, Aitchison, Potts, Conners.

Kent choose from a strong-looking thirteen, with former Derbyshire player Hamidullah Qadri included as well as Indian quick Navdeep Saini:

Denly, Blake, Compton, Evison, Finch, Gilchrist, Logan, Podmore, Qadri, Quinn, Robinson, Saini, Stewart.

With former Nottinghamshire players Ben Compton and Joey Evison in the squad, as well as Harry Podmore, who had a loan spell with us and Harry Finch, who played in our seconds earlier this summer, there is a strong East Midlands flavour to their side.

I suspect the toss witl be crucial and we must hope to come out on the right side of it this time. 

I wouldn't mind seeing a repeat of the Luis Reece masterclass from Worcester, and Shan Masood lasting longer than on my sighting against Hampshire. 

Fingers crossed for both - and a Derbyshire win, before I start the long drive home tomorrow.

Hopefully see a few of you there later!
