Scriven is a talent

One step forward with Hill back in and two back with our best batter and best bowler from the last match out just about sums our season up though I've no doubt if they have personal commitments then they're well justified of course but it leaves us looking pretty poor...

 

Azad, Ackermann, Finan and Mike all missing from our best XI with no overseas players.

 

Evans

Budinger

Patel

Kimber

Hill

Scriven

Swindells

Ahmed

Barnes

Parkinson

Wright

 

Seems likely to me with Walker missing out. I can't fathom why with the season gone we haven't had a look at Steel or Welch in the batting order given we went into last week with four batters.

Mike didn’t make the Yorkshire team today, he’s got a lot of work to do there. 

[Sunbury Fox]

Barnes is just so bad. Leaks runs, has a no ball issue and looks totally unthreatening.

 

Scriven looks promising, however.

Went Derby yesterday and the new batting coach was there. It’s a tease as to who it is as it’s being announced later this week early next. Good appointment I reckon.

Well that is music to my ears! So badly needed

I'm going Ben Smith?

[Voll Blau]

Was going to say Maddy. Looked up what he's doing and he's coach of the Croatia national team.

Weren't we miffed he jumped ship to leave us for the same role at Northants?

[Father Ted]

If it’s who I’ve heard, they’ve most recently been involved in the England setup 👀

He may well be more than just our batting coach…….

That would be good news if he’s got the director of cricket job. 

[LBTufty]

I wouldn't think it's safe for anyone with a condition as serious as arrhythmogenic right ventricular cardiomyopathy to have to watch our batting line-up on a daily basis. Are we trying to finish him off!?!

[chrishlcfc]

People above have got it and it’s not Ben smith. 👍

Does he have any coaching experience?

[Lako42]

Ex player?

 

Ahh just seen above posts and that's who I was thinking

I'll be fairly pleased with him being involved, whatever the position to be honest.

Staying positive on the Facebook page with Derbyshire having the better of the morning session!! 146-0 chasing 249, you have to admire the optimism 

[Sunbury Fox]

We're getting hammered here again. And yet you look at Derbyshire's team, and it is basically the same as it was last season when we finished comfortably ahead of them in the CC. I think this demonstrates very clearly the difference that a top quality coach can make to a team's performance. 

[AjcW]

Is Titch bringing a bowling coach with him too?  

 

I saw him in Notts a few weeks back so he's obviously still in the area despite the England role. Cracking appointment for me that, hopefully getting in now and getting a winter to work on things will really help

Agreed. They're making us look right mugs with a squad assembled on resources no greater than ours. Arthur has injected confidence and stability.

Happy days the mighty Derbyshire are 1 down and only 4 ahead. New ball due soon which apparently will help us as looking at the scoreboard it looks like the 1st ball we used was a fvcking beach ball

[Graceroad]

Billy Godleman came into this match averaging 16 this season highest score 46 currently 131 no. Really don't think runs against us should be Inc in the averages
