this happened quite often last season failing to score batting points in the first innings only to run up a decent score in the second.


230 all out Hendo saving the blushes with the bat for the 2nd match running, put on 96 with Hoggard for the last wicket.

Has done for last three seasons. Got to be sorted, we are losing out 4 points every match straight away

Derbyshire 253-4 at lunch (Day 2). A lead of 23.

That was a mornong of 152 for no wicket!

Well got them back to 290/6 but now they've moved to 380/7

Declared 209 ahead, we are 4/0 at close.

Concerned about why Nico opened instead of Jefferson. Not another injury to the big fella.....

Jefferson tweaked a muscle. Physio thinks they have got it earlier enough to not be a major concern. I assume he will only bat if we get back into the game.

Super start this morning 2 down already. 17-2

 

[glyn]

Heading for an innings defeat. Jefferson top scored so far with 41 despite his injury and Henderson doing his best again.

Abysmal batting, as happens most seasons up until august :-(

 

[glyn]

We've lost. After 4 innings, Du Toit has 12 runs! Tom New has 26 and Greg Smith 37!

 

[Jimmy Lad]

Pathetic!

Trouble is we can't replace any of the current failures as we have no back up players.

Other than Josh Cobb, but he seems to be taking more wickets than runs for the seconds! Or maybe Shiv Thakor...?

At least we didn't get bowled out for 50 and lose by an inns & 382 like championship favourites Somerset!
