County v Derbys

[mickyhoss]

Looks like a rain free first day, I've no idea about the start though, the outfield has had a lot of rain but it does drain well. Richard Rae and Dave Fletcher will keep us royally entertainmed over the next few days

There’s a lot of press about us since our unlikely win last weekend.

 

[peatlingfox]

£60 million ground development sounds interesting!

I remember this kind of blustery conditions a few years ago when Mo Abbas took a hatful. A bowl first day.

Especially now we have gone all Bazball.

Budiger 72 off 61 very Bazball

The weather forecast is a bit iffy

Yeah looks shite. Train booked down from South Yorks so worse case is a day sat in the Cherry Tree

 

[peatlingfox]

No play today either

 

[mickyhoss]

I've heard that tomorrow is in doubt too, the outfield is saturated

 

[DagenhamFox]

If so will we face sanctions?

 

[mickyhoss]

If so will we face sanctions?

Why? Because of rain?

 

[DagenhamFox]

Teams face sanctions if they prepare a bad wicket. I have no idea if there may be sanctions because we have an outfield that doesn’t drain that well. I suspect not but it was worth asking the question.

It absolutely hosed down in Leicester on Friday afternoon/night, The outfield was under water in parts

 

[DagenhamFox]

Anyway, is there likely to be play today? I’d like to see us press on for as many batting points as possible.

Ackerman 109 N.O. Derbys were not too keen to play, reckoned the mud on the boundary was a season-ending injury trap

 

[DagenhamFox]

Maximum batting points I think.

 

[DagenhamFox]

Now let’s get stuck into Derbyshire and try to get some bowling points.

 

[mickyhoss]

10pts for the draw as it stands, Derbys 19/1

 

[mickyhoss]

19/2

 

[mickyhoss]

We are top of the league

 

[DagenhamFox]

Really? Top batting and two bowling points helped.

12 points, good effort that was.

 

[DagenhamFox]

I’ve just seen Glos v Yorks was abandoned without a ball bowled due to a saturated outfield. Abandoned before day 3.

We did well.
