There will be some late decisions on the playing XI as Robbo awaits clarity on some injuries, Hassan Ali (elbow) Rob Yates (illness)
No Woakes as he prepares for the return of the CC on Sunday.
As has been said before I think we’re just one big hitter away from a balanced side. Probably got one of the best bowling line-ups (I preferred the bowling attack from Sundays game) and our catching and ground fielding have been superb up to now.
Always good to have a player like Hain to play the anchor role. If you know there’s a player like him at the other end it gives you licence to play a few more expansive shots. When it becomes a problem is if both players are playing cautiously.
Yesterday we were only 2 down at the half way stage, we needed someone to go big even if it meant losing a few more wickets. We could have really helped our NRR which could decide who makes the QF’s or not.
Of course it’s easy to say when you’re watching!
Good to get the win but not a very exciting game to watch, made worse by the inane commentary from the Derby bloke and camera work which made me seasick.
Derby win the toss and bat.
One change, Garton in for a Hassan Ali.
Jamal is added to the squad otherwise unchanged.
This competition is turning into a farce. So many games either lost or shortened due to the weather. I’ve lost all interest in it now.
Our 3 spinners returned figures of 10-0-61-7
We’ve won the toss and elected to bowl.

And OHD's bowling not required. I'd find it hard to predict the winner of a game between that side and the so-called first XI.
I was thinking the same thing. (I wish there was a ‘like’ option on this messageboard)
Wylie 50 from 21
Taz named with Theo Wylie in the England U19 ODI squad to face a touring Sri Lanka youth side at the end of the month.
A certain C Woakes playing.

We're down to 5th in the table now, and our next two fixtures are against the two teams directly above us - Yorkshire & Derbyshire.
Against Yorkshire on Friday i would go with: Davies, Yates, Barnard, Hain, Bethell, Burgess, Garton, Briggs, Mles, Lintott & Gleeson.
Yes I’d go with that, looks a much more balanced side.
25 from Jamal’s first over, gulp!
Bit of weather about, got to go hard from the off to keep ahead of the DLS score.
Bar Gleeson it’s been a bit ordinary
