Truth be told, there's not much to relate from a Derbyshire perspective. I am sure that off the field, the clubs, function rooms and the marquee are doing their bit towards supporting Mickey Arthur's ambitions. A successful festive period, following on from a very well attended fireworks night, can make a major contribution towards the club's financial well-being.
The only real news this week, though very positive, was the return to action of Sri Lankan seam bowler Suranga Lakmal. Having him restored to full fitness will be a major boost ahead of 2023 and his 2 for 29 in 4 overs, against the side currently coached by Arthur, was a respectable effort.
We seem to have plenty of options with both seam and spin this year, although of course, like every year you are only a couple of injuries away from a problem.
Mark Watt has also been in fine form for Scotland and has bowled with his usual guile and parsimony.
Perhaps this week we might have a pre-Christmas boost with the announcement of the second overseas player, but more logically that may have to wait until the new year.
Whatever happens, have a good week, stay safe and stay warm!
