He might play, because Nick Potts is omitted and the choice will presumably be down to whether we choose an extra spinner (McKiernan) or the three seamers we have opted for to date.
David Lloyd is back in the squad and will make his home debut in our colours. Squad:
Came, Reece, Guest, Ali, Lamb, Lloyd, Dal, Wood McKiernan, Thomson, Watt, Moore, Conners, Lakmal.
Either way it will be special for the young man.
Sussex have also named fourteen and their squad is:
Haines, Alsop, Carson, Carter, Clarke, Coles, Crocombe, Currie, Hudson-Prentice, Hunt, Karvelas, Lenham, Pujara, Ward
Two former Derbyshire players in that squad and it is fair to say that this is a much win for the home county. We have not yet reached the point of no return in the competition, but I wouldn't bet my last dollar on qualification in the top three were we to lose this one.
It is likely to be another high scoring game and hopefully Derbyshire can do better in managing their innings than in the two previous matches.
We will find out soon enough!
TWO former Derbyshire players? Who am I missing? Can only see Hudson-Prentice? Ant
ReplyDeleteCheteshwar Pujara. Wonderful bat, played for us in 2014
DeleteSpotted it a few minutes after I posted it! I'd forgotten that!
DeletePujara holds a place in Derbyshire records for being out "handled the ball", a rare feat he shares with Karl Krikken!
DeleteWe have been waiting all season to witness the ‘agressive’ brand of cricket spoken of by the head coach. It will be needed today against an improving Sussex team. Some players are in need of a performance if they wish to be here for next season.
