News of the Ones that Got Away: Joey Evison

16/06

Amid the latest Taunton slogathon, Joey Evison emerged with respectable bowling figures. Joey is out of contract at the end of this season.

4-0-24-2

Perhaps Sol Budinger's scores need a mention for Leicestershire Foxes - that's the mention in that case!

Samit Patel has had an inspired weekend: Friday night beating his former employers on his old stomping ground...

....then on Saturday afternoon guiding his side to beat Derbyshire's other East Midlands rivals at Edgbaston.

All at his veteran age, where there's no whining about safe-guarding and mental health issues through having to go to travel and go to work two days in a row.

07/06

Fateh Singh who should be playing against the Outlaws this evening, had a good night with the ball last night.

4-0-16-1 against Steelbacks who racked up 190, but not from Fateh's bowling eh.

4-0-27-2 was Jacob Duffy's return on the evening, so he too escaped with light damage. 

Samit Patel couldn't take to the field for Outlaws' innings last night owing to a calf injury. You have to be mindful that at his age, any injury just might draw the curtains on his excellent career for good. Fingers crossed for young Samit.

04/06

At the age of 40, Samit Patel scored 83* (9 fours 4 sixes) in a losing cause for Derbyshire Falcons against Steelbacks this evening. In actuality, Ben Sanderson made a mug of the veteran in the final over, defending the required 14 runs comfortably.

Yorkshire CCC: Glasnost?

Anthony McGrath has reported good news regarding Matt Milnes’ return to first-team action, saying the forthcoming Vitality Blast has been pencilled in as the target for the seam-bowling all-rounder. 

From later this month, Yorkshire’s coach is hoping to have Milnes available for the rest of the season following his issues with back stress fractures across the first two years of his White Rose career.

Having signed for Yorkshire ahead of 2023 from Kent, Milnes has only played four Rothesay County Championship matches for the White Rose county.

Milnes, aged 30, has taken seven wickets, including hauls of 3-31 and 4-14, added to scores of 63 not out and 70 not out across three impressive second-team appearances against Warwickshire and Lancashire so far this summer. 

Head coach McGrath said: “He’s done really well.

“He won’t bowl this week (in the second-team game against Durham at Scarborough, which was always a de-load week with his stuff from his rehab. 

“The medical team, given his history, I think we just want to be extra careful with him.

“The plan all along was for him to rest this week, but he’s doing really well. With a good week off now, hopefully he’ll bowl again down at Billericay next week, the second-team game at Essex.

“Hopefully then he can come into contention for the T20 block and be available for the rest of the season. 

“There’s a few weeks before that, but I think it’s really good signs with how he’s bowled and batted in the second team.”
