Fine win for Seconds against Lancashire

In a return to winning ways, Derbyshire's second team beat Lancashire by eight wickets at Westhoughton CC this afternoon.

Lancashire got off to a flyer, thanks to Harris and Hurst and had 60 up in five overs. Hurst top scored with 46, while Fonseka made 36 and Sutton an unbeaten 28 as they posted 190-6 in their 20 overs.

The wickets were shared around, with Ajay Khunti taking two and, encouragingly, Luis Reece bowling a full allocation of four overs and taking 1-36.

He was out early in the Derbyshire reply, but Mitch Wagstaff scored 38 and helped Harry Came take the score to 92 before he was dismissed. Then Brooke Guest came in and he, with Came, took Derbyshire to victory with an over to spare and without further loss 

He finished 36 not out from 26 balls, while Came went to a splendid century and finished unbeaten on 108 from 59 deliveries, including 3 sixes and 14 fours.

It was an excellent return to form for the side, after the defeat to Leicestershire earlier in the week and takes them to the top of the Northern Group table.

No Yusuf Bin Naeem in the side...does that mean he is lined up to play against Yorkshire on Sunday, or might Came have eased a way into the side with today's knock?

  1. Could Came open with Donald, with Anderson at 3, Madsen at 4 and Montgomery at 5? Grant from Telford

  2. What’s happened to Joe Hawkins? Performed well last year but seems to have struggled this year. Is his contract running out this year?
    Great news for Came today. I’ve always thought he was a good T20 player

    1. He has made a step up Gary and has not always found it easy. With two good spinners ahead of him, he has to keep working. He was on a one-year deal and it is down to the coaches to judge if he has got the skills and mental resilience to make this step AND then challenge for the first XI

  3. I think Came for Jewell on Sunday. That’s his second T20 ton for the seconds this season. A no brainer, as we can only play two overseas. I hope Basra can score some runs, assuming he plays. Downthewicket
