Batting first after Durham won the toss, Derbyshire amassed 180-6 in their 20 overs. Yusuf Bin Naeem hit Duane Olivier for 4 sixes on his way to 33 from 18 deliveries, while Harry Came made 25 and Luis Reece 37.
Brooke Guest marshalled the lower order in making an unbeaten 40, before the innings came to a close. Olivier finished with 1-40 in his three overs...
When Durham went in, they were quickly in trouble and were 11-2 in the third over before rain ended proceedings. Both Matt Stewart and Rory Haydon took a wicket and Derbyshire will have fancied their chances at that stage.
The two teams meet again on the same ground tomorrow, weather permitting.
Scorecard and clips here
Bin Naeem consistently clearing the rope for the seconds. Seems a slogman. Would have him in for the struggling and slow Jewell.
ReplyDeleteStewart is also going to be there or thereabouts for first team gametime very soon. Consistently excellent for the seconds.
All this is with the assumption MA knows we have a second team. Evidence would suggest not.
I would probably swap Basra for Bin Naeem. Bin Naeem appears to be in better form at the moment, although I have been very impressed with Basra’s fielding. I think Basra deserves another opportunity in the One-Day Cup.
ReplyDeleteIt was also interesting to see Reece play. He is such an important player for the red-ball side, so I wonder if this could indicate that he is being considered as a replacement for Jewell
Do we know when Ghazanfar is due to arrive?
