Yep a very poor start. It will be tricky tomorrow. As MacAdder suggests the weather is overcast tomorrow so the ball will swing around.
We seem to be treating every opposition bowling attack as if it is better than the West Indies one of the 80s at the moment, so I'd say our best hope is to bat out the day for a draw :hehe:!
I think Derbyshire have to be favourites because it seems the pitch is spinning and if Salter can get three wickets, I have to believe that their spinners can do a lot of damage today. I think we need someone to take the game to the opposition in a way we've stopped doing recently and, if luck is on their side, we can win - as a team used to losing, Derbyshire heads might start to drop if we can stay competitive for the first session as well.
54-4 off 36 overs - they are playing for the draw!
First gear? They're almost in reverse :hehe:.
50 Partnership broken, Donald out :angry:
Yes the run rate isn't great.
The pitch at Cardiff and the conditions are obviously unpredictable so I suppose the one positive compared with the start of the season is that we are taking the game to four days.
I can hear a whimper.
Pathetic how can you bat pathetically slow all day and yet one batsman managed to get himself stumped and another got himself run out? :shrug:
All over. Very poor. Great for the 16 year old Derbyshire spinner, though.
