Derbyshire v Worcestershire One Day Cup

Pretty much the same squad for Derbyshire, for this weekend's games against Worcestershire and Northamptonshire. But will it be the same team? 

From the names announced I would go for the following eleven:

Came, Reece, Lloyd, Ali, Wood, Guest, Dal, Thomson, Watt, Moore, Lakmal

Lamb, McKiernan, Conners also in the squad, but with nothing riding on the game, let's at least offer opportunity, eh? And even giving Sam Conners a rest, we still have eight bowlers in that side.

Worcestershire are very much in contention for the quarter finals, currently sitting in third place after a fine win against Northamptonshire yesterday. Rob Jones, formerly of Lancashire, made a sparkling unbeaten century against their opponents, dealt a bitter blow with Prithvi Shaw having to return to India with a knee injury.

Their likely side:

Roderick, Pollock, Jones, Libby, Kashif, Waite, Cox, Van Beek, Baker, Brown, Pennington

With Derbyshire past and future in their ranks, the game will make for interesting viewing. I won't see much of the game on Sunday against Northamptonshire, as I will be travelling to see my old Mum for a few days, ahead of her 90th birthday.

I hope to pop into the Incora County Ground for a few hours on Tuesday for the Somerset game, but will also be dropping into Pride Park, where a memorial brick has been put into the wall with my Dad's name. After his being a Ram since 1945 and a Derbyshire supporter since 1946 it was the least I could do.

If you are along at that one it will be nice to say hello!
