Good lad Rehan. Madsen gone cheaply. Back in it.

[SemperEadem]

We need a huge last session today.

[Lionator]

Duh duh duh duh Rehan Ahmed 

[Wsl]

I know I can be a right little black rain cloud, but some of the earlier doom merchants on here this morning make me look like Sid the Happy Sunbeam. Did people really think that the fact they weren't a least three down by lunch, or that our score of 398, even including one hell of a batting collapse by the mid/tail enders, had us heading for defeat? 

[Ted Maul]

Glad I was in meetings all day and missed the first 2 sessions to be honest  absolute horror show.

 

We're watching our young all-rounder come of age this season. Sky's the limit, what a player.

Few years ago we'd of not seen this much of Ahmed, he'd of moved on long ago

There’s still a lot of time. They’re only 210 behind. One good partnership and they’re favourites.

Fair enough if they had 8 wickets in hand. But not when they’re 5 down.

Well Rehan has taken two more since I wrote that so I’m gonna keep saying it

Agree he's looking great with the bat but still a work in progress with the ball and the stats are very misleading he's  hardly bowled and most of his wickets have been tailenders

[ronnup]

The lads unreal 

[Sir Steve Howard]

so we've gone from definitely going to lose to potentially enforcing follow on

[Mike the Metal Ed]

Of course Rehan gets 2 wickets while I'm around the back of the stand taking a phone call about a possible job offer

Decent match for Rehan....

[Bert]

Full bowling points for us where Derby may be struggling to get a batting point here.

I hate this club.

Haha I mean they be can frustrating but hate is strong. King power on the other hand….

[CrawlingFox]

Kimber knew full well that there was no point hanging about and the best shout was to get Derbyshire out there for Rehan asap. Even shared that wisdom with the tail.

Another strange day. Very unlikely Derbyshire chase 350+ on this.

[EastAnglianFox]

Kent close the day just 60 odd behind after their awful first innings with the loss off just 1 wicket.

 

Could be clutching but you never know, a draw would be huge in that

I make you right. Think Kent have massively underperformed this season but have some real quality. That's not a bottom of the pile squad, they could push Glamorgan hard. 

 

Good day all round
