Do Derbyshire have one hand on the wooden spoon 2022 already? They've lost Hudson-Prentice, Hosein and now Critchley. Will more follow? Their old short term fix would have been to take the Kolpak route but Boris' Brexit has closed that avenue to them. So where do they turn to?
ReplyDeleteWho did we turn to ? Micky Arthur. You're welcome 👍
DeleteBuilt on the back of an Overseas who's going to leave the club in the lurch at potentially critical period unless you bottle it before then.
DeleteIn a group of bottlers, Derby scraped a 3rd spot so no clash of fixtures with Michel Bubbly and having to play a home Q/F at Trent Bridge potentially - oh the irony if they had finished second.
DeleteThey turn to their Second 11 and hope one or two come good
ReplyDeleteThat's what Notts had to do !
Perhaps Derby CCC will go two years or more without winning a 4 day match
It's happened before quite recently !
Critchley had abuy out clause in his contract reported to be around £35,000 compensation. Feel a bit for Direby. The Foxes at DisGraceful Rd seem to have a plan to move the club forward, albeit they will always remain a smallish club, with their new CEO and will always be competitive on the field with Paul Nixon as Head Coach and now they have even appointed a Director of Cricket for the first time. Direby seem the complete opposite. Their Head Coach Dave Houghton has walked out and they've lost their best player yet again. Good job Critchley didn't defect to us as their still bitter that Ben Slater left them. A few years ago they were reasonably competitive in t20 but now the club looks a complete shambles. Hard to believe in the late 80s/early90s their first eleven could compete with all the stronger outfits with players like Kim Barnett, Johnny Morris, Peter Bowler, Devon Malcom and Dominic Cork plus the overseas options of Ian Bishop, Michael Holding, Peter Kirsten and Mohammed Azharuddin plus the big hitting South African allrounder Adrian Kuiper
ReplyDeleteTimes change . Success - or lack of it - nearly always goes in cycles in nearly all sports. One minute you are unbeatable but the next minute you can't beat anybody.
ReplyDeleteFashionable Clubs come and go . The underdogs then have their day. It helps to make sport interesting. The long losing run of first class games that Notts had recently will probably not be repeated in the next 100 years or so.
Look back only a few years . How could a " smallish" unfashionable football club like Nottingham Forest win TWO European Cups !?
Derbyshire ccc look down and out before the season has even started . I bet it doesn't turn up like that .
Notts CCC look certain to win Div 2 next season - on paper . With the quality players available to them who in that Division can realistically beat them?
A very interesting season to come is not that far away and there is plenty to look forward to -( including the 100 Ball Competition !?)
We just need to be ready to work very hard to win the 2nd Division.
DeleteI think we can and will, but we must not think it will be easy. Cricket history is littered with losers who thought that.
Says it all about the Notts 2021 season that when i look forward to next season i am not thinking who do we need to sign.
ReplyDeleteBowling wise we look pretty well stocked, Not only do we have last seasons trio of Fletch, Paterson and Hutton, but we can also add in Broad (occasionally) and the rather injury prone Ball to the mix.If you also count the trio of allrounders you can see we should not struggle bowling wise.
A quick note about Patto ( australian version) yes it would be nice to have a bowler of his quality available, But realistically do we really need him? On his day he is top quality but is also injury prone, Is that a risk Notts are prepared to take?
About the only opening in the Notts CC white ball eleven might be at opener if Hameed does well down under.
You could carry on with last seasons ploy of using one of the middle order players to fill the gap, But for me that is little more than a sticking plaster, You may well get away with it in division 2 but if as we hope we are promoted then that is an area that needs attention.
No need for any Steve or Kevins with that name but never call him Harris or Rolf.
ReplyDeleteThat may possibly cause upset to members of the Peter Rabbit Fan Club Association Nottsviewer?
ReplyDeletebut are oast house offensive to those of a non-beer /ale consuming nature?
DeleteBig news from Trent Bridge today re an "In", reckon there will be a thread on it or more comment here, so going to keep quiet for now, Hurrah !
ReplyDeleteI wanted a laugh and that piccy of Jackson Bird provided it. Thanks. What about the TB hierarchy all going back in time to appear on Stars In Your Eyes and saying “Tonight, Matthew we’re going to be……a cricket club again”
ReplyDeleteSounds good
ReplyDeleteCan I just say a word and ask for prayers for Rod Marsh ?
Critically ill in hospital after a heart attack. Saw him play several times, most of all at Trent Bridge.
Good news ! Chris Cairns back at home with his family, and some mobility now using a frame.
I was a surprised at Jackson Bird's return to County Cricket, but it is a funny game, maybe he will do well.
Played hard - but fair did old warrior Rod M .
ReplyDeleteTough as old boots - if anyone can pull through it would be him .
Rod Marsh dies after massive heart attack . Only 74
ReplyDeleteA great cricketing character - a big loss to the game .
Shane Warne 52, it's no age.
DeleteVery, very sad. Don’t think we will see his like again. The word legend is over used in sport. This bloke was a true LEGEND.
DeleteGood all round bloke Shane Warne dies tragically of a heart attack at 52.
ReplyDeleteIf their actually was a God somewhere out in the ether then surely he/she would deliver the same to madman Putin . Thereby save the world so much more suffering and untold deaths and destruction .
Its just a thought. But a serious one .
Totally agree.
ReplyDeleteTough times coming after tough times, all I can offer is Trent Bridge cricket in 10 days, with the very welcome lads from "Lufbra".
Looking forward to seeing friends, maybe you dear fellow Nottsviewer.
Totally agree Rich. I’m normally always counting down to the new seasons but this year with the awful news on a daily basis and allied to a personal health condition that has left me unable to exercise as i would normally, its fair to say I’m desperate for the new season to come round.
ReplyDeleteAs per Sod or Murphy’s law whichever you call it, what are the chances that for the first time in 3 years we can get to the games for the start of the season that jolly old England produces a wet and miserable April ? This would be particularly ironic as the ‘covid’ year was possibly the driest, warmest and sunniest April/May i can ever recall and last year when the bloke who confuses work meetings with parties locked us out of TB for the first 3 ‘Champo’ games, although nowhere near as pleasant the weather was still largely dry with sunnier, if somewhat, cooler days.
Let’s hope the weather God’s are smiling upon us. Two weeks today its the Bears at TB although for some bizarre reason the fixture has been removed from the club website and it goes straight from the Loughborough Uni fixture to the friendly against Direby at the County Ground, 3AAA, Pattonair, or whatever they’re calling the ground this season.
You have to feel a bit for Worcestershire. A small county with some very average displays this season and then as bonus lets lose two influential players, albeit one in the final years of his career but still a top class performer in his format. At least its not Notts in the firing line this time ?
ReplyDeleteEvison gone to Kent ? Strange one.
ReplyDeleteA while since I contributed but good to read all the reports and opinions meantime. Biggest disappointment is Evison leaving and the opinions there are unanimous in their disappointment. It’s hard to imagine he would not have received white ball opportunities next season - and should have had more this. Red ball maybe also - the bowlers have been doing well but how long before Fletch, Paterson and Pattinson need support?
ReplyDeleteIt looks as if Yorkshire are turning over a few players so we need to act now to secure that others don’t leave as a result.
I’m surprised nobody mentioned the terribly patronising bbc article on the 50 over comp being an “alternative to the 100”……..the latter being 2 years old and the former about as old as me and in which we are world champions. The grounds are full ish, and I know people who don’t attend any other form of the game who travel and stay overnight to attend. But when Jonny Bairstow who is on the crest of a wave pulls out, you know we are in trouble. Imagine the Premier league being stopped at Easter in order to use the same players for a different contest whilst using the grounds and coaching staff which the clubs employ. Oh, and season ticket holders have to pay extra to watch….
Hutton doing well in the 50 over and surely Monty will get a contract…….????
