Kesh Fonseka, from England U19s made 54, including ten boundaries, while Michael Jones scored 38. Rocky Flintoff added 37, after the comparative failure of George Bell and Matty Hirst .
That was as good as it got as Tom Hartley and Ben Walkden added 179 for the seventh wicket.
Hartley finished unbeaten on 122, while Walkden was out just before the close for 90.
Yusuf Bin Naeem was the pick of the bowlers with 2-31.
Derbyshire have trialled a few left arm seamers this year and both Will Rogers and Chinmay Mullapudi, the latter from SACA, were in today's attack. It would appear the club acknowledge a gap in their seam options, especially with Luis Reece unable to do much bowling this year.
Whether they can find someone of his stature is a moot point.
Why has Flintoff not been playing first-team cricket? The 2s have done what the 1s have done and let the tail get away. Excited about YBN ,Haydon , Hall, Potts( when he cuts out those loose balls) and Stewart. How long has Wagstaff got on his contract , because of it expires this year, he will more than likely be released . Will miss your articles over the weekend as I'm going on a school trip for 3 days and no gadgets are allowed.Ethan
ReplyDeleteYou will have to ask Lancashire that one! But again, he needs to score a lot of runs at this level, and he hasn't done that so far this season.
DeleteI'm not too worried about this game. There is far more experience in the Lancashire ranks and we don't have that
Enjoy your trip. I hope the weather is kind to you - and also to Chesterfield!
