Derbyshire’s main quest this season was to put big scores in the first innings and then have the firepower to bowl sides out twice to secure victories. The opening game against Worcestershire almost went to plan, despite the stand-in skipper, Harry Came, saying that he would have bowled first under murky skies on day one.
The pleasing aspect to see was that Derbyshire weren’t hampered by being a batter down in skipper Wayne Madsen, still suffering from his dislocated shoulder obtained in the T20 World Cup. Madsen is expected to be ruled fit for the trip to Old Trafford on Friday, he may have to wait his turn as all the top order got runs, bar new signing Matt Montgomery, and it’s the German International’s spot that may become available for Madsen.
