I don’t see a change in the Derbyshire side from Friday night, but I hope we manage our batting a little better than we did in that game. A winning position was built early, but we allowed the opposition bowlers, who did well, to dictate the middle period. A point gained thanks to Haider Ali’s last ball four, but one lost, for me.

I find it hard to believe that Derbyshire will have any real interest in the remainder of the competition, should they lose this one today. Yorkshire are in outstanding form and they have a very powerful top order. 

Their squad:

Lyth, Malan, Masood, Wiese, Tattersall, Thompson, Hill, Leech, Luxton, Mike, Bess, Wharton, Chohan, Revis

Prediction? Only on the basis that I have no idea which Derbyshire side will show up, I suspect Yorkshire will be too strong today. I hope I’m wrong and if the Derbyshire of last year, as well as the two games against Birmingham this year turns up, we can win it.

But will they? In front of a capacity crowd, some will thrive and others will struggle.

We can only hope that Derbyshire produced their best game and make it an enjoyable watch!

What do you think?
