190/6

Excellent piece on BBC at lunch with Alex Stewart. It was about having not used the Duke ball in England’s County Championship for the last three seasons (it’s still a trial) and whilst it might help us against Australia (in Australia), it’s making a lot of games here very boring, as it’s easier to bat and less happens, so lots more higher scoring games, many of which end in draws.

Now 238 for 6. Jennings 106no and Green 55no.

For a good few years, they played this fixture in Buxton.
I've some great memories of it.
Good to see it's being played in Chesterfield. One of the picturesque venues in County Cricket.

I remember it being called off one year because of the snow at Buxton.

And just read it was 50 years ago.

Jimmy with 2 early wickets Derbyshire 19/2

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 11:49 am**

Some biggish first innings scores in process (in Div 1: Wocs 487-5, Somerset 315-7, Surrey 470-3, Warks 410-9.

Hard Yakka for the bowlers in this weather, Jimmy's done well this morning.
(I see Balderstone has chipped in too now, 35/3)

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 11:54 am**

Balderson that is.

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 1:05 pm**

109 for 3 at lunch.

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 1:27 pm**

What is the reason for using this different ball again?

Averaging 7.5 wickets per game at Lunch of Day 2 in the round of fixtures.

Apparently for English bowlers to learn a different skill set to prepare for bowling in Australia. I'm not sure how many of the potential Ashes squad are playing in this round of matches but I suspect it's no more than zero.

2 more for Balderson 144/5 still 223 behind

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 3:30 pm**

I do hope that when Jordan Clark exited the Surrey dressing room to go out to bat with the score at 745-5, he muttered the time honoured phrase
" Don't worry lads, I always was the man for a crisis ! "

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 3:40 pm**

Derby now 226/6 and 141 behind

Posted: **Mon Jun 30, 2025 4:12 pm**

246/8 now, hopefully a 100 innings lead. Meanwhile at The Oval, Surrey are 803/8. Sibley passed 300 before being dismissed. I'm considering going down that game tomorrow, hopefully Durham can make a good fist of their reply.

Well positioned for our first win - hopefully.

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2025 8:29 am**

Had a great day out at Chesterfield yesterday - lovely old ground.Loved watching Jimmy bowling rapidly and taking some early wickets - still absolute class. Despite being a Yorkie, I hope that Lancs go on to win this one and proudly wore my Burnley Express t-shirt.

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2025 11:37 am**

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2025 6:16 pm**

On the flip side of course Derbyshire could knock off the 350ish they'll need tomorrow
Oh dear

Posted: **Tue Jul 01, 2025 6:35 pm**

I wouldn't bet against another tailender smashing a ton.

Posted: **Wed Jul 02, 2025 12:00 pm**

No wickets in the first hour, 190/3 chasing another 323 to win .... new ball might be key here !
