David Lloyd joins for Metro Bank Cup

Excellent news from the Incora County Ground today, with David Lloyd joining Derbyshire for the duration of the Metro Bank Cup.

I wondered if that might happen, when I saw the Glamorgan squad announced for yesterday's friendly against Herefordshire and he wasn't in it.

It obviously offers considerable quality and depth to our batting, although I am unsure whether we will get the full experience. He only bowled a few overs of gentle off spin, rather than his usual medium pace, in the recently completed Championship match. It suggested that he wasn't yet fit to do so, which may well be the case.

He will certainly take his place in the side and the  question now is who he will replace from the likely first choice side that I named on Saturday.

It could be one of the seamers, or perhaps Matt Lamb, if he isn't fit to play. 

Either way it strengthens the side considerably. 

I am looking forward to seeing him.

  1. I’d like to see him come in for Potts and go with a Conners and all of the all rounders approach…if, and it seems to be a big if, Matt Lamb is fit to play.
