Some decent signings but still think we'll struggle!

Just had the email advertising ticket sales for T20 and noticed the T20 vs Porkshire in the Park is on a Saturday - very good that for people who actually play cricket!

They're pushing the double headers with the womens t20 league as well...just had another email saying theyre hosting one where both games are on Sky.

Seems strange to put the Queens Park T20 on a Saturday as you say. Suspect it will still be a big crowd mind you so they probably wont care.

Seems we've tried to sign Marlon Samuels but its not happening for some reason.

Derbyshire County Cricket Club can confirm it has been in contact with West Indies international Marlon Samuels and his agent regarding opportunities at the Club.

The Club remains committed to exploring all options to strengthen the side ahead of the 2017 season.
However, we have a number of routes available and in view of recent events, the Club is no longer pursuing Marlon Samuels.

Another signing this morning....Sth African who qualifies as a non overseas and scored a double hundred for Derbyshire 2nds last year Daren Smit :-

http://cricket.derby...-two-year-deal/

33yrs old, long career with the Hollywoodbet Dolphins (crap name!) and bats, bowls leg spin and keeps wicket...not all at the same time!!

He could well be a good signing for a couple of years.

Yes, he's probably what we need along with Wilson in a bit of experience around the team.

Henry should be a decent T20 addition. Threaten to have a reasonable side in that. For once.

Yeh its shaping up to be ok so fully expecting a mid season meltdown for whatever reason as thats what normally happens. The T20 bowling looks pretty decent and the likes of Wilson and Smit add decent experience.

Derbyshire lost their opening preseason friendly against the local staffs league in a 40 over preseason
friendly by 7 wkts

Last season I think we won every preseason friendly I think and then nothing when the real action started
so hopefully opposite way round this season lol

Hang on...they've changed their minds. They've deleted the tweet that had that photo on and done a new one with Slater added to the squad to make it 13 rather than 12.

Groundhog day today at the County Ground

We finished on 281 all out then had Northnts 171-8 before letting them finish 291-9

The number of times we had sides on the ropes last season and then let them off the hook during a match were several I recall

Looks like nothing has changed in that respect

Nathan Buck who has moved to Northants from Leicestershire finished with his career best bowling figures and then not out with his highest score with the bat

A worry for Derbys is that Shiv Thakor fell akwardly whilest bowling and limped off the ground with it looks a bad ankle injury

I have also been warmer whilest watching cricket lol
