Final tour match vs Derbyshire

[aussie tragic]

I've never heard of any of the Derbyshire players?

Billy Godleman(c)
Luis Reece
Leus du Plooy
Alex Hughes
Matthew Critchley
Harvey Hosein(wk)
Anuj Dal
Tony Palladino
Alfie Gleadall
Hamidullah Qadri
Dustin Melton

 

[aussie tragic]

All seem to be first XI except for 3 bowlers (Gleadall, Qadri and Melton), so that means the Aussie batsmen may have some fun.

Derbyshire 0/2 (runs/wickets order) after 4 overs.

Reece and Godleman are their usual opening pair. Palladino is one of those long term second division medium pacers who knows how to get hundreds of second division wickets. Rest wouldn't usually get a gig in first class.

If memory serves, Palladino did well against them last tour.

EDIT: Turns out it was with the bat (82 off 68 from #9), but hey.

 

[Lillian Thomson]

Leus du Plooy has played a bit in the County Championship this season and has a pretty good First Class record overall - albeit only 50 matches.

Currently 28 not out.

Also bashed a ton against Aus A in the white ball portion of their tour iirc

So Reece is the leading wkt taker for Derbs this year with 43 wkts and he opens the batting too.

Says a lot about Div 2 cricket. IIRC his bowling is basically just medium-pace trundler crap that would go the distance on non-seaming decks.

MIssing two batsmen, Madsen and Lace from their last FC game where they both got some runs and would strengthen the batting.

Who are you implying is first?

Marnus

Surprise surprise, the guy with a FC average of 46+ is scoring runs and the rest of the team with averages in the low 30s have failed.

That seems to be mostly in the 3-day SA stuff tbf, not the franchise stuff.

 

[aussie tragic]

Starc with 3 wkts in an over...could have done with some of that at Headingly lol

Still he top scored by a long way.

 

[aussie tragic]

Khawaja and Harris could be batting Wade out of a spot here...and yet the boling attack is a couple of teenagers and a 24 yr old making his FC debut...nice aet up England lol

 

[Spark]

11 boundaries in a score of 60 isn't exactly ideal tbh.

 

[aussie tragic]

Harris run out for 64...Marsh at 3 is interesting?

 

[Lillian Thomson]

If no wickets fall Kwawaja might have to retire out after reaching his hundred to give Smith a net.


EDIT: Out next ball for 72.

 

[Spark]

Kind of frustrating that Khawaja couldn't convert but it's a good hit.
