Just about to put the live stream on........I am not going to bother

No matter what the conditions are we should not be 5 down for nothing on our own pitch against one of the worst teams in the championship, another season falling away with the same players failing over and over again.

Robinson has some questions to answer, our mentality is not good enough when we are up against it with bat or ball

One of the most entertaining and strange T20 match I have ever watched!

All the better to have won it

Sloppy in the field and now sloppy with the bat. Injuries and the fact that we are through do not help at all.

In fairness, 1 terrible decision, 1 terrible shot & 1 fantastic catch and all of a sudden the game looks lost

What an awful decision from the umpire..........terrible follow up shot from Benjamin but that was a shocker for Davies

That was entertaining.

As mentioned above we allowed 75 more runs & scored 75-100 less than we should have and this game is then up for grabs

We are not winning the title, we have a couple of gaps to fill yet but it is good to see Mousley, Yates & Bethell in the runs to an extent.

We need a quick, accurate bowler who can hit the deck.........a Norwell fired up and fit would be good but I just cant see that happening for a full season. Ironically, Brookes has the make up to be that bowler but just cant push on to the next level. You can see what might be there in bursts, it will probably come out when he is 26/27 and moved on somewhere else.

At least they have shown some fight late on..........an innings defeat would not have done morale much good.

Great little knock from Bethell last night to drag us over the line.

Despite winning 7 from 10 matches we are by no means certain of qualifying, which is very unusual. 1 more win should do it.

Hopefully Maxwell will bed in with a couple of overdue scores. I fully agree with the 'too many sweep shots' comments. All Durham did last niight was bowl at the stumps and we kept getting ourselves out.........we were playing across the line to both spinners & seamers though

Ok...........maybe spoke too soon

Good win in the end and great stuff in the field. Northants should have knocked those runs off though and we need to address our sloppiness if we want to bat first

And not only that, both of them to a bowler who already had two wickets. Whatever happened to seeing the best bowler off

Yeah, I did think it looked a bad decision but the shot was a poor choice. Maybe we are owed a decision now.

I am pretty lost for words tbh

5 down and 9 overs to go and Benjamin tries to sweep for 6 and gets caught, a few balls after Mousley tries a ridiculous shot in front of his stumps.

Something is not right with our mentality

And now Davies out with a ridiculous shot

What the hell are these batsmen thinking?

You would think that Moeen & Maxwell have something to do with this.

Two of the most sought after T20 players on the planet and both have been completely abject

And now Davies out with a ridiculous shot

What the hell are these batsmen thinking?

Moeen poor again. Terrible choice of shot. He seems to think that he can just whack everything into the stands with little respect for the pace, line or length of the delivery, or the bowler.

That is 4 failures with the bat now at a strike rate of around 100. Anyone else would expect to be dropped.

This is really, really poor cricket from us. Fielding rubbish, bowling worse and Batting is Sam Hain.

Derbys have deserved this win, other than Hain they have been on top of the game in both innings.

Miles & Brookes are not bowlers for this format, they are constantly belted around the park and our batsmen need to start helping Hain out.

Very disappointed with the last 4 matches. Feels like we have really slipped backwards and the momentum has disappeared from our game.

Our fielding is terrible, it is like someone has flicked a switch

Poor once again from Brookes. Poor with the bat other than Hain again (Mousley did ok as well)

It is putting the team under pressure coupled with Moeen looking uninterested for the last 3 matches.

Derbyshire along with Leics are the poorest team in this group but are looking likely to beat us twice in a week.

Amazingly the pitch is looking like a road for their batsmen, we have been very underwhelming since Moeen got involved.

Poor bowling again from our seamers, bowling into the pitch and it is sitting up to be hit by Notts. Wides, leg side and short length balls just getting punished. It is putting too much pressure on the spinners who have done well but too much of it and the batsmen start finding their lengths to hit.

Miles & Brookes together are too similar, tall hit the deck bowlers who send down too many wides & 4 balls. You need a crafty seamer who can take pace off and vary lengths etc.

I thought we were poor in all departments vs Derbys the other night.....which is ok as otherwise up to then we had been really good.

I hope we do not fall away after a good start to the campaign like last season

Much better bowling!

Good stuff from OHD there, nice and straight to a new batsman

Agree about the losing the toss. It probably cost us a result of some kind last week.

This has been poor imo though from us. Once the first 6-8 overs went we have been very average with a 4 ball being bowled virtually every over.

Poor not to have a 3rd man in place until the horse had bolted and too many balls on leg side easily dispatched.

We are making young Middleton look like Compton

Have we never heard of 3rd man?

Poor bowling and poor field positions. Absolutely gifting Hants runs here.
