Sounds as if some of them are quite simple...

The sweet taste of victory only lasted for a little while though as a few of the players were left standing next to the A1 shortly afterwards.

"I got a phone call about an hour and a half up the motorway" Maiden reported.

"Stuart Poynter and Ryan Buckley were in the van and were driving along"

"The petrol meter was running down to zero but apparently Ryan said "Don't worry, when it says nought there are still 20 miles left in the tank!"

"There wasn't, so we had to stop and get a petrol canister to give them a bit of help on the side of the A1!"

Sadly, this isn't an isolated incident for the second team's beleaguered coach.

"The last trip we had, Calum MacLeod left his kit at home so he had to borrow all of his kit. Then we checked out of the hotel and Gavin Main had left all of his bags in the hotel"

"Gareth Breese, probably the most senior man in the squad, drove to a hotel in Derby for the match against Derbyshire but the game was at Glossop, which is near Manchester"

"So he was an hour and a half away from the team's hotel"
 

I presume Main realised before they'd got to the ground/home. Although I kind of hope the rest of the squad noticed he was the only guy who didn't have any kit bags but didn't say anything.
 
Wainwright playing for Derby 2nds? Once upon a time he and Rashid were leading spinners for Yorkshire.

I'd try and sign him, me.
 
Canny performance by stokes even if it is second team 20/20

136-2 after 11.4 in the second game.

Stoke goes for 37 off 18 balls, mcleod 32 from 14 and singh 67*
