Derbyshire have drawn and lost in their opening two rounds of fixtures, when they could easily have had two wins, but for a defiant Worcestershire side with the bat and a rampant James Anderson with the ball.

Derbyshire supporters could rightly be frustrated with the County’s start to the campaign having got into a position twice to win their opening fixtures. “Same old Derbyshire” were some of the flippant responses via the social media sites.
