Nye Donald opted to bat but was back in the pavilion after three balls. Martin Andersson made 44 and Ross Whiteley 48, but only late impetus from Ben Aitchison (29 from 13 balls) took Derbyshire to a passable total on a small ground.
They finished on 193-9 but Liam Trevaskis (65), Ben Mike (41) and George Maddy (38) saw the visitors to a win with two balls to spare
Ben Aitchison took 3-32 and Matt Montgomery 2-34, but both Jack Morley (0-46) and Nick Potts (1-47) were expensive on a poor day.

Why did Wagstaff, Hawkins and Stewart not play? Leicestershires team has lots of young inexperienced players and we’ve lost to them with basically our 1st XI. Seems that MA can’t even give our prospects a game in the 2nd XI, nevermind the 1sts.
ReplyDeleteMA has never heard of these players. Youth player development is a non entity for him.
DeleteYoung players will only get picked when everyone ahead of them is crocked.
It's a no win situation, really. He plays kids, the seniors come in uncooked and they get slammed. or he plays the seniors and if they get beaten on Sunday, it's because they are tired.
ReplyDeleteI guess there were players who asked for time in the middle on T20 skills too
