CC :: Derbyshire v Durham

[T S Garp]

25 overs left as it stands according to ECB app.

Lose 2/3 for innings change so we’re looking at around 20 overs to chase 165, if we were to get the wicket right now

Not going to happen in a 4 day game without fielding restrictions

 

[mikemanc]

Going to be a T20 chase

The way we play T20 I hope not

 

[CollingwoodFTM]

Bollocks. Great effort though to get close.

 

[hudson88]

Unlucky.

Good to see a very good batting effort, and a lot more fight as well. Certainly more positives to take away.

Well played

 

[viccarlton]

Good effort lads, well done.

 

[The Rat]

maybe bat first Colly, well battled though

 

[wayne entwhistle no9]

Days like today are when you really miss a genuine wicket taking slow bowler. Another good effort though and feeling a lot more up beat than after that Kent performance.

 

[brandon]

You're right Wayne, but for me, in this game (and the others actually) we haven't got a wicket taking threat from all of our pace bowlers. It's frustrating because we know they all can take wickets, but so far Rimmington has been a disappointment and in this game Dixon was awful. So Wood and Weighell aside, we looked toothless.

Last week it was Rushy and Weighell on their own it seemed.

Month or so off now, but it's paramount we can get Rushy, Potts and Carse back in the fold IMO.

 

[stephen cartwright]

Was a great game imo. Proper cricket, batting, bowling and fielding by both sides.

A fair draw in the end

McCarthy is also a wicket taker. Whoever signed Rimmington and Dixon clearly hadn't done their homework.

We may see better from Rimmington - a week ago see comments on Richardson and Poynter.

As for Dixon, he was an emergency recruit I can't imagine there was much choice, but there again he might come out next time he gets the chance and blow a team away. He's only here for a month anyway, apparently.

Hasn't done it yet thus far though mate.

 

[Ageing trundler]

Rimmington was always going to be a half-decent 8 who offers a bit with the ball. He batted well in the first game. Sign of the times, I'm afraid. A better limited overs cricketer from what I can recall, watching him play for the Perth Scorchios.

In fairness, that's probably about right - be handy as a third or fourth seamer but seemingly asking too much for him to be a strike bowler.
