Derbyshire Glamorgan preview

Mickey Arthur has named a 13 man squad for the game against Glamorgan that starts at the Incora County Ground tomorrow.

Tom Wood comes into the squad in place of Wayne Madsen and looks likely to take his place in the side. The final place would appear to be between George Scrimshaw and Nick Potts and I suspect the former may get the nod this time. That would leave the following side:

Came, Reece, Guest, Wood, du Plooy, Ali, Dal, Thomson, Chappell, Conners, Scrimshaw (Wagstaff, Potts also in squad)

Our visitors are one of five sides in the mix for promotion and will be keen to get a result in some way from this game. 

They will be captained by David Lloyd, who, in the light of today's news on Leus du Plooy, I expect will be the Derbyshire captain next year.

Their squad:

Lloyd, Carlson, Root, Harris, Gorvin, Northeast, Morris, Swepson, ul Hassan, McIlroy, Ingram, Cooke, Van Der Gugten, Lewis

Although they have had a solid season, only one win so far highlights the issue they have had in bowling sides out. They have a good batting side, like Derbyshire, but with rain forecast on most if not all of the days, it is hard to see past another draw here.

Especially on Derby wickets that have hardly been conducive to batting collapses...

As always, I would appreciate your thoughts!
