Broad/Derbyshire match

The disappointing thing is that a player like David Masters or Nick Walker would haved played through this injury, Broad isn't even in the England test side yet and already he is being wrapped in cotton wool.
Let fast bowlers bowl and build up some character by playing through niggles. This is ridiculous.
Luckily it looks like rain will save us in this match otherwise I would be confident of a defeat.
The England squad is named tomorrow, I wonder if Nico will be in it.

given the state our bowling attack in it would have been nice for the batsmen to show some quality in this match. The batting had been OK in the first few games, just our bowling was toothless, and I wasn't too despondent despite 2 losses and a draw. But this game has set us back to where we were at the start of last season.
Rosenberg in for Maunders next time I hope.

Our main problem is that we havent had the chance to field a full strength side yet. Our second problem is that the batsmen just arent scoring the runs they should.
Robinson 302 runs @ 37.75. 1 x 100, 1 x 50.
New 298 @ 37.25. 4 x 50.
Ackerman 263 @ 32.87. 1 x 100, 1 x 50.
Allenby 179 @ 25.57. 1 x 50.
Maunders 169 @ 28.16. 1 x 50.
Mansoor Amjad 140 @ 23.33. 1 x 50.
Nixon 127 @ 31.75
Sadler 126 @ 15.75
Rosenberg 81 @ 81. 1 x 50.
Only 2 centuries in eight team innings. Thats staggeringly poor!
I would drop Sadler for Rosenberg but tbh, most of our batsmen need to improve and buck their ideas up.
Also drop Walker, he is shit.

But in 2 matches we've also conceded 500+ twice and gave Somerset 376 in the second innings to set us a target.
Our lack of penetration yet again this season means we won't take 20 wickets, especially with Broad injured. Our overseas bowlers again and again are a disappointment - when will one of them come in and take 8-10 wickets in a match!
That simply heaps the pressure on the batsmen.
I think Sadler is a better bet than Maunders and he is in form in the one-dayers.

Sadler and Cummins have been dropped for match against Essex. In come Rosenberg and Rowe. Not sure about dropping Sadler, but Rosenberg has been in form lately for the 2nds. Rowe can't do any worse than Cummins who has done nothing!

Apparently Maunders is a doubt as well. Got a rash all over his body
Sadler reprieve then. Would stay away from Maunders as well :icon_lol:
