Dearden needs dropping, no idea why Swindells hasn’t been given a chance yet, probably waiting for Notts to make an approach. Also, what is the point in playing Parkinson? Hardly bowled today on a Day 5 pitch, not in the team for his batting is he? Shocking average and confidence shot, rather play Wells or Javid.

Good job you’re not a coach! , nearly 200 ahead on the first innings and lose, that is just a pathetic excuse.

 

 

Haha! Just trying to be philosophical about it- I'm gutted, I thought we had it in the bag but we didn't have the quality to get it over the line. However, we wouldn't have got near winning that game last season, so we've got to look at the positives I suppose.

Wells could open. A positive player. Not going to score less than Dearden is he? 

 

Javid for Parkinson and Swindels for Hill.

[SemperEadem]

Bowlers have looked tired at Derby.

[Voll Blau]

I can see their ground from my work and all I'll say is I don't envy anyone, of any standard, having to bowl more than about four overs today. Absolutely baking.

[Cake]

Yep they do. Griffiths looks very tired. May be should have rested him. Don't really have a lot do we? Tom Taylor has vanished. Maybe played Javid as another spinner.

 

Saying on the radio that four players from Leicester have offers from other counties. Raine, Dexter and Chapple not sure the other one is?

 boiling. Wicket just before tee. 92 for 2 needed it.

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Derbys 92-1 and 155-4 and 232-6 ... now 245 all out

 

Still playing, it's a day-nighter, Leics about to bat

[Ross-Kemp]

Come on County.

 

245 all out is good bowling in this heat.

 

 

[Ted Maul]

Plenty of fight in this team- that could have been a long day in the field after Saturday.

[Ross-Kemp]

60 without loss. 

 

Dearden has retired injured though.

[HaroldBazBo]

He's concussed so being replaced.

 

We need to bat long as they#ll get knackered from the quick turn around. Especially Rampaul.

Must be a 1st

[Sunbury Fox]

From 168-1 to 174-4.

[Malabo Fox]

Hill has retired hurt with a busted finger, effectively 5 down now

[Sunbury Fox]

Do we ever get any breaks?!

Lewis Hill’s pinky by the sounds of it 

[Malabo Fox]

Raine gone now 

[Ross-Kemp]

297 all out.

 

Derbyshire are currently 17/3 and 35 behind.

 

 

[Cake]

Good day. On top again. Let us hope we can finish it off.

 

Come on County. I wasn't at the game. I presume hill is not keeping wicket? Don't know who is?

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Abbas strikes early, his third wicket

Derbys 2nd inns 48/4 - trail Leics by 4 runs

[UpTheLeagueFox]

Abbas now has 4 wickets. Derbys 96/5, a lead of 44

[Ross-Kemp]

Isn’t it nice to actually see one of our overseas players taking wickets and actually managing the game well with a decent economy rate.

 

47 behind. If we can keep the deficit to below 150, I’d be optimistic.

[Ted Maul]

80 ahead, 7 down- get these last 3 quickly and surely even we couldn't balls that chase up?
